Feedback and roadmap
It’s been almost two weeks since its launch, and it’s clear the time and effort the team put into this product. Feedback has been mostly positive, but testers have pointed out a few areas that deserve a little more attention:
- static maps (with today’s release! Yay!);
- dark mode;
- Better station data.
- Integrated ticket purchase.and
- Make your favorites more prominent.
We are currently recording feedback and updating the roadmap. Our next update will contain more details on what the beta will focus on and what you may have to wait for after general release.
