Hi Richard
It doesn't appear to, but I think it is a great app to use when I am over
there. I also like ScotRail, which is another very useful goody to have
when visiting the clan.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

HI Ian, Will check out the upgrade shortly. Meantime, I should say that I
like the app called Scot Talk, which has the ability to track your position
while on the bus and read names of bus stops as you approach them. I'm not
yet clear whether it works outside Scotland though!

I agree with Saqib that this app seems to have a lot of potential and could
be a great improvement on Next Buses. However, I remain to be convinced
that it has been fully optimised for VO. Would be interesting to hear from
any regular travellers who are using it with success.

Hi. Despite the update! You can still use the Next Bus Is app. You
just have to tap the done button on the top right when it first loads
up. I do like this new app as it has audible announcements option on
the top of the screen. Alex you can tap the list option at the bottom
of the screen as it's easier access as nearest stops appear in a list.

Hi Ian,
I apologise for not replying to your original message on this thread.
However, having read Yusuf's reply to you, I feel I should say that I have
also downloaded the app to my IPhone 5C and even though I have a small
amount of residual sight, I don't seem to be able to get the map to show
more than a satellite image of the whole UK, (similar to those shown on TV
weather forecasts). I can't work out how to set the home location, or come
to that, how to restrict the map to even an area as localised as
Birmingham.
I'd appreciate any pointers you can pass on from your experience with the
app.
