After Apple sprung the launch of TubeStatus on me, it has been a whirlwind week. For those interested here are some of the statistics:
- Downloads: 25,600
- Highest Free Application Ranking Reached: No.3 (UK)
- Status Updates Served: 76,500
Some of you may have noticed a few problems last Wednesday morning; this has been resolved now thanks to my hosting company and on average the server deals out updates in less than 1 sec. Unfortunately TubeStatus updates can only be as quick as the slowest link, so for those on Edge it can take a number of seconds to receive the information, many people have reported good performance, some others not so good. I have found moving with your iPhone (i.e on a bus) can affect it’s ability to download data efficiently. It will vary. As expected, the best performance is achieved when on a wireless connection (1-2 sec).
I have added monitoring to the server so I can easily keep track of any downtime or any problems when they arise.
Next up attending to the enormous amount of feedback I have received…
