Could be a lot better
Just like the electrification overhaul, the app could use one too.
1. A better parking map for each station
2. The option to save my station preferences since I’m logged in (Caltrain should gather data anonymously to see how many people use the same stations every day)
3. The live map can optionally ask for my location so that I can see which train I’m in and track stations in real time.
4. Modernize it and make it more user friendly. C’mon, you’re in Silicon Valley!Show lessSoftware Engineer
Does not sell tickets
The Caltrain Mobile app talks all about how you can buy tickets digitally and yet there’s nowhere to buy tickets on the app. There used to be, however the last few times I’ve used Caltrain I checked the app and cannot find anywhere to buy tickets even though it still talks about being able to buy them digitally.

Good when it works
Update: since my last review, the app started working most of the time and it’s a big help when it works. But recently I can no longer get the real time update for the mountain view station. Wonder why.
——-previous review
Just downloaded the app yesterday and it worked when I tested at home. But I wasn’t able to use at the station. Kept on getting error messages of not being able to reach server and it asked to check internet connection. It looks like the app doesn’t work with cellular data. Not sure why. Such a frustrating experience. Almost late for the train yesterday. I was able to replicate the error at home by turning off wifi. All other apps works with cellular data and I checked setting to make sure this app is set to work with cellular data. Not sure what to do now. Please help.Show lessAmy Y18
