Best UK rail app
Don’t listen to the negative reviews, spend 5 mins setting it up and understanding how it works and you will not need to adjust again. It’s very intuitive.
The is the only app I am happy to pay for a subscription. I have tried every single rail app and none come close.
Response from developer
Thank you so much for the kind words and for supporting On Rails over the years, especially across both Android and iOS! It really means a lot to hear that the app is useful for you. On Rails is independently developed, so feedback and support like this genuinely makes a difference. Thanks again for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.
Requires Pro to Work
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. We'd like to clarify that the core app continues to work without a Pro subscription, and the free Small widget remains available. Medium and Large widgets are Pro features, so if a subscription expires those widget sizes display an upgrade message. We've continued to refine the experience based on feedback and appreciate you taking the time to share yours. A sustainable revenue model is necessary to cover the ongoing costs of providing live rail data, operating the supporting infrastructure, and continuing development while keeping the core app free and ad-free.
Was a great app
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. We understand how important widgets are for regular commuters. We’ve updated the app so the small Home Screen widget is now available again for all users, along with improved widget refresh behaviour. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope you’ll consider giving On Rails another try.
Great app until the widget got killed off
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback and for using On Rails. We’ve since updated the app so the small Home Screen widget is available again for all users, along with improved widget refresh behaviour. We also appreciate the feedback on pricing and are continuing to review the subscription model while balancing ongoing app and server costs. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience.
