yycapps.com on GlobalTV
January 12th, 2011 | Connor Turner

It’s been quite the week for yycapps.com. Last week, we had a great conversation with CBC’s The Homestrech on the growing iPhone Development community and the yycapps.com project. And last night yycapps.com, with our friends from Tapforms and Broken Kings were featured on GlobalTV’s Business Matters feature.

(If you scroll to the 25:33 mark of the video below, you’ll see our little segement)

It’s been quite the whirlwind couple of days and we just want to thank all of our new visitors and friends. We hope you get some time to explore the site and see what’s being developed in this great city. For those looking to develope their own little project, please have a look at our developers page and get in touch with some of the great talent in the city.

We would also love to send a big thank you to Calgary’s CoWorkyyc space for allowing us to use their fantastic space for the interview with Tony Tighe. We were talking to the owners Jeff and Quinten and if there are a few developers looking to branch out outside of their own homes, Coworkyyc is probably one of the best locations in the city to do that.

Please check them out if you’ve got a chance.

Next Stop: Calgary Transit Elegantly Displayed in the Palm of Your Hand
December 29th, 2010 | Connor Turner

One of the most common apps to be found on the iTunes store is the every popular local transit app. In most cases, these apps are done by independent developers looking for ways to help improve their local commute or hashed together by the reigning transit authority in attempt to help ease commuter dissatisfaction. Rarely do these apps couple elegant design and a usable product. That is until the release of Medium Rare’s Next Stop app.


Produced in partnership with Calgary Transit, Next Stop sets the bar high for transit app design and user experience. Using the city of Calgary’s already established 4-digit bus stop code system, Next Stop pulls accurate information on route times and arrivals. It also pulls update information directly from the Calgary Transit system, ensuring users with the most accurate information available.

And while accurate information is always one of the key elements of these types of apps, the real beauty of the app comes within it’s design and development. Elegantly designed using a modern colour palette and intuitive navigation system, the Next Stop app is a real pleasure to behold. Information is easy to find and the added benefit of the favorites tab allows users to save their most commonly used stop numbers. read more
