Færd

iPhone / Voyages

Færd is an Apple Watch app that finds nearby stops for all public transport in Norway based on your location. You can also save favorites for quick and easy access to your most used stops, and it can help you navigate to a nearby stop. Færd only has useful functionality in Norway.

Sometimes you just need to leave everything behind. Leave the stress and expectations behind and bring only the essentials. No matter if you are walking, running, cycling or traveling, just bring Færd and have access to realtime departures*

Other times you just want to quickly check how long you have until the bus leaves. Open Færd from your watchface using complications, and save just the favorites you need for rapid access. For even faster access you can customize Færd to open directly into Favorites.

Færd also gives timely information right on your watchface using complications, including:
- Show wait-time for the next departure of your closest favorite. Updates when your location changes.
- Show the distance to the closest stop.

Realtime departures are available in most major cities and most parts of Norway. Data is provided by EnTur, and scheduled departures are shown when realtime data is not available.

*Apple Watch with Cellular and a valid cellular subscription is necessary to have access to departures when Apple Watch not within range of your iPhone

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

A small, new feature I think many of you are going to love:

- New complication! On the "Modular Infograph" and "Compact Modular" watchfaces you can now add Færd to the large, rectangular complication in the middle / bottom of the watchface. This will show you the waittime until the next departure of your closest favorite, and it will update when you location changes. This is very practical e.g. if you use a bus to get to and from work, and want to see departures for both places dependent on your location. Add as many favorites as you want - Færd will always show the closest one on your watchface.

(Caveat: The complication only updates about every 15 minutes, but this uncertainty is reflected in the complication)

Other:
- Fixed the bug that made Færd crash in watchOS7. Sorry about that!
- Now loads twice as many departures, such that you can see departures further ahead of time. Especially noticable in larger cities with many stops.
