## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work

*2025-11-07, version 1.3.0*

Exactly the same experience as other review - enter journey details and press save only to get the endless spinning wheel. Waste of time which is a real shame as it looked really promising. Let’s see if the developer is interested in fixing this!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work

*2025-11-04, version 1.3.0*

Downloaded the app, entered journey details and hit the save button and it does nothing but show the rotating wait icon. Same response on an iPhone 14, SE and an iPad. Seems to be a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Absolutely Useless

*2025-04-22*

Won’t work without connection to train wifi —cell data won’t work. Train wifi only works in the cafe car, not in our seats. Audio will only play with headphones connected, but it does not recognize my Apple AirPods as headphones. Completely useless app.

### 1/5 — Wont play audio doesn’t recognize Bluetooth headphones

*2025-03-23*

This is a buggy app with limited utility. Only seems to work on the trains wifi not really helpful

### 3/5 — Still no Bluetooth headphone support

*2025-04-22*

Like the other reviewer reported, the app won't recognize connected BT headphones and refuses to play audio. Funny enough it also shows erratic messages about pausing the audio due to public announcements, which of course do not happen.
Who still uses cabled headphones in 2025?
It's a pity really since otherwise the app seems really well made with a great UI and I'm sure the audio content would be really informative too. Fix the headphone issue and could be a 5 star app.

### 4/5 — Interesting Facts, needs improvement for handicapped people.

*2025-04-23*

Enjoyable facts to listen to, but not friendly for handicapped people.  Our brother-in-law is blind and was not able to navigate the menu without help.

### 5/5 — Works great now

*2026-01-12*

Bluetooth connectivity and WiFi-enabled location recordings work fine. Seems like the app is updated regularly, and they’re doing a good job.

### 5/5 — Great addition for to your train journey!

*2024-04-09*

Such a great way way to learn and understand more about the beautiful towns and villages you pass through. Make sure to download before your trip date.
