Indie App Spotlight: 'NextThere' helps you navigate public transit with rich insights

NextThere’s latest 4.1 update expands transit insights, adding departure analytics, a real-time vehicle map, and a refined UI. The app has broadened its reach from Australia and New Zealand to select regions in the United States, including New York, Los Angeles, North Carolina, Boston, Hawaii, Chicago, the San Francisco Bay Area, Portland, and Washington state, with Ontario, Canada also supported. Notable gaps remain in Atlanta, Washington DC, and Philadelphia. The real-time map shows moving vehicles and allows exact traces for individual buses or trains, while historic data on on-time performance and delays helps planning for tourists and commuters. Widgets, Live Activities, and real-time notifications enhance in-the-moment insights, complemented by a web app for quick checks near you. NextThere is free on iOS for devices running iOS 15.6+, with NextThere Pro unlocking vehicle traces, historic performance, and notifications at $1.99/month or $12.99/year for individuals and $19.99/year for families.
