For public transit in many different countries, I used to rely on Transportr but since it’s not being properly maintained and some countries stopped working, I’ve been relying on Öffi (Directions, Stations, Plans) instead. It presents the connections in a kind of time-based chart instead of a list, but I actually find it quite good after getting used to it.
It’s proprietary, though.
Regarding pinning apps, you can add apps to Favorites by holding the app icon and tapping the ★ icon. On the homescreen, the pinned favorites can be shown and either sorted automatically by usage, or sorted manually to lock them in place on the screen. You can also do a mix of auto/manually sorted, so that the apps at the top are static while those below are dynamically changing.
Another option is adding one or multiple tags to each app (hold the icon, tap the three dots, then Customize). After setting some tags, you can then tap the pen icon in the bottom right corner of the Favorites view, tap the first + to add a new tag to favorites. You can then switch between “folders”/“collections” of the pinned tags inside the favorites view.
This looks cool, and I like your thoughts on it! Are you planning on an Android release too, somewhere down the road?
There’s an entire DVD included! Is the installer for LibreOffice really bigger than the 700 MB of a CD? I don’t think so. They probably went with a DVD instead of a CD to make space for all the free internet minutes and 3000+ clipart images!
