Toll Pinas Android App

In the past few months, I have been updating my apps and decided to work on a new application. The app, called Toll Pinas, is now available on the Google Play Store.

Toll Pinas is an app that you can use to find out the toll fee you need to pay for expressways in the Philippines. Toll data were taken from the Toll Regulatory Board website. The app includes toll data for the following expressways:

• Apolinario Mabini Superhighway (formerly known as STAR Tollway)
• Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX)
• Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX)
• Metro Manila Skyway
• NAIA Expressway (NAIAX)
• North Luzon Expressway (NLEX)
• Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX)
• South Luzon Expressway (SLEX)
• Muntinlupa–Cavite Expressway (MCX)
• Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX)

To use the app, you can select the expressway, the entry/exit, and the vehicle class to compute the toll you need to pay. You can also share the output afterwards. Here's a sample video of how the app works.

Check out the app on Google Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tigcal.apps.toll and let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions.
