Quickly find your way around London by bus. See your route and stops on a map with the latest TFL Countdown information.

The perfect app if you want to take a bus but normally wouldn't because you're not sure which one to take or where they go.

Also perfect for bus journeys to places you haven't been to before, or for getting you home from wherever you currently are.

To quickly find your way around London by bus, just tap the map at your journey start and end points. London Bus Traveller will then display the best bus routes and stops for your journey on a map. You can also search for addresses or landmarks in London and all your previous search locations are remembered.

*NEW FEATURE* Along with showing you the best bus routes for your journey, the app will also show you the next three bus arrivals at your departure point using TFL's Countdown service - this information is live and updated as you wait.

Up to 10 different bus routes can be shown for your journey with the fastest routes shown first. Supports single and two bus journeys and night buses.

Works in either portrait and landscape mode, on display sizes from small phones to large tablets and on Android 2.1 and up.

This app, although powerful, is also tiny at just under 300k, so it won't take much of your precious phone's available memory!

It's My Stop is the app that countless commuters have probably wished for at one time or another especially if they've experienced the nightmare of missing their stop.

It's My Stop is really simple to use. Just add your stop, decide how much warning you want before arriving and let the app do its stuff. You can choose to have a 5, 10 or 15 minute warning before your stop and another one as you arrive at your stop. The app works in the background and alerts you at the appropriate time.

Best of all, It's My Stop works on buses or trains anywhere in the world using location information only - it doesn't need to consult any bus or train timetables!

Next time you travel you can relax reading a book, listening to music, playing games, dealing with your email or catching up with friends on social networks. Maybe even catch up on some sleep! You can rely on It's My Stop working in the background on your phone to warn you as you first approach and then arrive at your stop.
