We have some great news to share! The gothere.sg iPhone app has been submitted to the iTunes App Store. And now we just gotta wait for Apple to give us their seal of approval. Our iPhone app has come a very long way. Truth be told, we have made over 5 different iPhone apps over the last year and a half. Unfortunately, we felt neither of them offer a fantastic user experience, and you know how we are all about creating a great user experience!
Well, that's all over now because we have finally designed and built an iPhone app that we love! And we really mean it! This app trumps over our mobile web version, even gothere.sg on the web, and really just about every other thing we have come up with.
What's a sneak peak without pictures right? We'll go one better and show you a short homemade video!
Here's a look at some of the features in the app.
- Find public transport and driving directions anywhere in Singapore.
- Ninja search engine - you can search using postal codes, building names, acronyms like "amk", and even businesses and amenities like "korean food" or "atms".
- Simply start typing and we'll automagically suggest popular locations, as well as places you've recently searched for.
- Compare the duration and cost between the various modes of transport, including bus, train, taxi and car. You can even choose between multiple routes for each mode of transport.
- View useful details in your trip summary, such as the fare, duration, distance, ERP charges and number of transfers.
- Find directions for your blur taxi driver and also see the full breakdown of the estimated fare, including peak hour surcharges and more.
- Pick and choose a carpark around your destination and we'll show you the rates and guide you there.
- Search or browse amenities and businesses around your location.
- View more information about a place including the full address, phone number and even hungrygowhere reviews.
- Explore the beautiful full screen map and tap on any bus stop or carpark to find out more about them.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. We'll be showing you more of the app in the coming days as we wait for the kind people at Apple to approve it. Stay tuned!
P.S. The app will not be free. However, we'll be sure to give you, our ardent supporters, a special early bird deal. =)
holy crap it looks lovely! :) cant wait. :)
Good work. Tells the difference between web-apps and native iOS apps, and why the latter are sometimes more desirable.
Btw, in being keen to point out that this won't be free, you seem to be missing a crucial verb in the final paragraph. :)
Looks good guys!
It's beautiful. Who designed it? Also gotta love the feel good music :p
Hopefully there're some plans for an Android version! =P
Awesome stuff!! Will there be street-view support in the app?
Is it going to be an universal app for both iPhone and iPad?
I think the full website has issues with Safari on iPad.
Don't forget the Blackberry people!
Android - before Google catches up and improves their Maps further
Get it on android pls!
I'm gonna jump on the 'on iPad please' bandwagon too. It does look excellent.

Nice!
Great !! Cant wait to try this app !!
Any ETA for this?
+1 for Android version! I've switched over to using Google maps since their native app on android beats any web-based solution. But Gothere on Android will certainly be a great alternative.
Nice. I'm using NavFone SG Bus MRT on my iPhone now, primarily because it doesn't need a data connection (so it's faster, since my 3G is usually off). Wonder if the gothere app will be the same? Also hoping for a reasonable price point so I can support you guys.
