Brilliant commuter tool, killer widget!

Simply brilliant. The departure board widget takes the stress out of accessing the information need to answer the eternal “is it running?” and “will I make it?” questions. The classic matrix presentation is beautiful and intuitive.

The only way this could be better: add the tube network/TFL feed. The “Tube” app does a fairly good job, but you could to it better…. please.

Incorrect departure times

I like the look of the app. However it shows incorrect departure times. 06:15 from Reading to Manchester Piccadilly on 23 July showed as having departed at 06:04 (odd in itself) whilst the train was still on the platform and didn’t depart until 06:17. I think it was showing the arrival time.

Genius: Superb app

Massively useful especially for commuters: setting up a “next train” lines status widget on your phone. Where all other train apps hide live train time info under menus and searches, this app gives you what you need immediately.

Best free app ever

Really useful to keep track of my usual train routes and services. Nice clear interface and widget functionality is great too.

The best app I have ever used

This app is simple but works amazingly and has everything you would possibly need especially for railway fans but for members of the public is amazing as well and its got no ads and no bugs or issues. I would totally recommend it to anyone also I would happily pay a few quid a month to help you guys run the app. I look forward to the future. Also is there any possibility of adding audio for the announcements. If not o totally understand. Keep up the amazing work
