London Tube Map app does 65,000 downloads a month

Baffled subterraneans make over 350,000 page views in October.

The free app, made by Bappz, gives iPhone and iPad users a scrollable London tube map. It has 106,000 unique users.

It's pretty straightforward. There's no live navigation element because there's no cellular connection on the London underground.

Paul Myers, CEO of Bappz, said: “The London Tube Map is an icon of simple industrial design and we wanted to reflect that in our app. 

"When I’m making a tube journey I don’t need a route planner or other navigation aids – I just want to quickly know which line to take and where to change.  65,000 downloads a month shows that our approach is working."

The app has featured in the overall top 250 UK apps since launch.
