## What is Overtrain?

Overtrain turns your trip across rail networks into a more immersive experience.

Pick where you're going, start your journey, and Overtrain shows you the next station, arrivals, and transfers on a simulated LCD panel - the same one you see above the doors in a train. The simulated LCD panel floats above your apps, and there is also a Live Activity that lets you glance at where you are at on your journey.

Plan a journey in seconds
- Search any station and set your route from, to, and via
- Choose the train or route that fits, with real departure times
- Avoid specific lines, and tune walking speed
- Save your regular trips to start again in one tap

Stay updated during your ride
- A train-inspired simulated LCD panel shows your position, the next stop, and the stops ahead
- Choose from various LCD panel styles, inspired from styles from Japan, London trains, and from fiction
- Picture-in-Picture keeps the display floating while you use other apps
- Live Activities put your next station and delay on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island

Built-in and customized train lines
