### 4/5 — Improved app

*2026-07-18, version 23.5*

This app is my goto for tracking train status. I generally dont use other apps. This app has built in refresh feature, coach position as new features which are good. There is slight delay sometimes while updating status for certain stations or trains and that should be addressed. Else it pretty simple to use and fast.

### 2/5 — Only 50% features of the app work

*2026-06-29, version 23.5*

Indian railways is bigger then many MNC companies combined. All Indians expect app from railways to perform better then expected. 

The NTES App for IOS has following issues

1 - The tile of "Train between Stations" always stays inactive.

2 - The tile of "Live Station" is active when clicked for 1st time but immediately gets inactive thereafter and stays inactive till app is closed.
One can try to click that tile many times but tile simply doesnt work.

3 - The tile of "current train position" is found active  while clicking 1st time but immediately gets inactive thereafter and stays inactive till app is closed. One can try to click that tiles many times but tile doesnt work.

People can not use the app due to above mentioned deficiencies.

Improove the app soon.

### 2/5 — Features lack usability !

*2026-03-30, version 23.4*

Example: List of Trains for a Station is really good to have. But if u have anything more then 30ish without a sort and filter facility what is the use ? Why do we need this list ? Even if a rickshaw person needs this list to manage this service-time, he needs a filter/sort. Useless Indian rail employees ! It’s such a meager tech change but of tremendous user-value.

### 1/5 — Works on WiFi but not on cellular net

*2026-02-09*

This app and the ntes enquiry website both work on WiFi but not on cellular network. Serious issue.

### 1/5 — Constantly crashes

*2025-12-24*

Not worked even once these past few years. It just crashes the moment I open it. Developers have not responded in any way.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even open

*2025-11-29*

It’s been years since this app worked. It crashes soon as I test to open it. The developers are uninterested. In any case.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-11-27, version 23.1*

Good app. Dark mode was most welcomed, much awaited. This mode should be extended to RailOne also. 

Try to add seat arrangement of each coach. Currently we need to view this on other website. 

Continue your  good work.

### 2/5 — Need more update

*2025-07-19, version 22.0*

Do you know how other private train location apps are doing the right thing and what is the difference between NTES and other apps. The second platform describes the correct location of the train and your 1 station tells you back, if you take it seriously, you can also be better.

### 1/5 — App needs significant improvement in terms of stability and basic functionality

*2025-07-01, version 21.3*

Key features such as Train Schedule and Train Between Stations cause the app to crash upon tapping, which makes it difficult to use Key features such as Train Schedule and Train Between Stations cause the app to crash upon tapping, which makes it difficult to use. Additionally, the Live Station feature does not allow station search, further limiting its usability

### 1/5 — Crashes while opening

*2025-06-07*

A decent app when it works. It was working okay but then got bricked with perhaps an iOS update. The developers don’t seem to be interested. In any case, it crashes as soon as I try to open it.
