#2Might just be the fonts, but this looks like a Windows 8 app.
Congrats on the launch!

#3Congrats. I still can't get by the initial cost of RubyMotion. I know, it will pay for itself, but that's a lot of initial buy-in going on faith. I wish they had a demo version available to try before buying.

#4Great post - I love reading about this rapid fast releases, even better when the writer had to learn a new language.
I was curious about ruby motion beforehand but now I can't wait to get stuck in.
Oh, and congrats! :D

The font, called Johnston, is from the London Underground design style and the colours are those of the lines

I'm in the same boat. I WANT to try it, I WANT to love it, but I can't justify paying for it just to find this out, especially given that I already know the Obj-C ways of iOS dev.

#8I'm really curious about that.
There are about half dozen similar applications on the Appstore, for free.
I tried a few, and most of them did the job they were suppose to do fairly well.
How did you convince people to choose yours as opposed to the other ones that already existed ?
Clearly the Metro article is what pushed people (that possibly didn't know that those apps existed) to actually get and download your app.
Congrats and kudos.

#9This is great. I spent much, much longer on my first iOS app and it isn't half as successful. Very well thought up and executed.

Thanks!
I knew that there were a lot of similar apps on the AppStore but I went with my conviction that less is more. Nearly all the apps are multifunctional and include journey planners, maps, alerts etc etc.
As a Londoner, I know my way around, the only thing I want to know is if the tube is even working – this is how Lines was born. I've tried to make the app's simplicity it's main selling point and hope I've achieved this to some degree.
