## What is DepartNow?

DepartNow puts your whole commute on one board. Pick any station you leave from and where you're going, and see only the trains that get you there, with times, delays, stop counts and service alerts, refreshed every 30 seconds.

WHAT YOU GET
• A live board of upcoming trains, filtered to your destination
• Delays and cancellations as they happen
• Service alerts, filtered to the ones that affect your ride
• Every stop for any train, with your arrival time and ride length
• A ride window: tell it when you usually ride and it opens the right board and warns you when your train is delayed
• Track predictions: where trains usually leave from, with a confidence score, until the official track is posted

FREE
• Everything above for trains leaving NY Penn or Hoboken
• One saved board

DEPARTNOW PLUS
• Any route: start from any station
• Up to eight boards, plus quick looks at stations you don't save
• Live Activities: your next two trains on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island

Try Plus free for 14 days. No card needed, so there's nothing to cancel. When the trial ends you go back to free and nothing is deleted.

A subscription to DepartNow Plus renews yearly. It's charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase and renews unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-10-20

• Made for iPhone Duo. On the inner display your board and your train sit side by side, with the tab bar along the edge. Stand it up on a table and your next train fills the top half, readable from across the room, with every control on the bottom. Signing up and Settings use the extra room too.
• A new tab bar, and a quicker way between boards: tap Boards again, or the arrow next to your station.
• Help predict NY Penn tracks. Tell us which track your train came in on. We ask once, and you can report any time from Settings.
• Hoboken track status: ANNOUNCED when NJ Transit calls the track, ON PLATFORM when your train is already there, and MAY MOVE for a posted track that could still change. The track pill pulses if it does.
• Live Activities now recover on their own if they stop updating.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-19
