![]() The company aims to shave off as many precious seconds as possible with its wrist-worn experience. Transit's Apple Watch app appears to be providing less of a notification-heavy experience and more of a straight-forward curated list of departure times and easy-to-follow directions, with a static "Take Me Home" button always on hand for when users get lost. The app will even notify a user, with the much-touted wrist-tap feature, when to get off of a current bus or train route to continue along their way.Ĭitymapper on the Apple Watch will be available in every city Citymapper has already established itself, including places like New York City and Rome, and support English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, with more cities and languages "coming soon." City dwellers are generally walking too fast, crossing streets, using stairs, jostling through crowds.Ĭitymapper has a few cool things planned for its Watch app, with Glances showcasing "how messed up your city is", pointing out stalled bus and train schedules around a user's location. And where the transaction cost (ie hassle) of getting additional information is low (raise your wrist and swipe). Transit info works well on a device that focuses attention on one thing at a time. Different things at different times, depending on where you are along the way. ![]() This is the nature of transit information when you move across the city.

Sifting through the data gathered from its iPhone app, Citymapper learned that its users frequently turned their phone on and off throughout one trip, unlocking to reorient themselves and quickly locking the device again to save battery. ![]() As a few popular iPhone apps begin rolling out updates for their built-in Apple Watch apps ahead of the April 24 launch, a pair of transit-focused services have posted on Medium to share detailed looks into exactly what kind of experience users can expect from Citymapper and Transit App on the Apple Watch next month.
