## What is Track?

Track is your rail travel companion, providing you with real time travel information on trains in the UK. Say goodbye to complicated train tracking and say hello to train tracking that gives you the information relevant to you.

Simply book your trains as normal and then enter details about each of your journeys into Track. From that point onwards Track will keep an eye on all of your trains, let you know if you can make your connections, show you when you are delayed and give you help and advice when a train is cancelled.

Features;

- Connection information: We'll keep an eye out on your multiple leg journey and let you know how your chances of making your connection are looking.
- Live train information: How long until your train arrives, whether or not it's approaching the station right now or even a countdown on how many minutes you have until the doors close and it leaves without you!
- Colour coded statuses for your trains. See with a glance whether or not your train is running on time.
- Simple train adding UI: Tell us where you're going using our simple UI and we'll do the rest.
- Missed trains: Missed a train? Don't worry, we'll detect that too and offer you help on advice on what to do to reach your destination as soon as possible.

Please note that this app does not support London underground services, only UK mainline services.

### 5/5 — Great for tracking your journey

*2024-11-09, version 1.1.1*

The purpose of the app is to track a journey you are on or have planned. The app shows real time information about the journey with estimated arrivals times that adjust as the journey proceeds as well as platform information.  It has a neat feature that it will tell you how long until the train departs as well as how long you have left on the train until your chosen station. Whilst other apps do similar things and display real time information this does what it sets out to do in a really clear and easy to use way. No clutter, just clear information. 

It’s also great for tracking trains that friends and relatives are on to keep track of any delays.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2023-09-02, version 1.1.1*

Completely useless unless you happen to know precisely when your train leaves…. No use for working out when the next train is and bears no resemblance to the website of the same name which is far superior.

### 3/5 — Only good if you want to plan a journey

*2022-01-31, version 1.1.1*

Didn’t read previous reviews (my fault) but it’s nothing like the website of the same name. 
Looks good if you are planning a one off journey. But is next to useless for a commuter as you have to put in each journey didn’t realise it was a purchase either. Looks like comment left 6y ago about displaying common journeys for the commuter hasn’t been acted upon.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-05-22, version 1.1.1*

This app has the same name as the online train tracking system but it is nothing like it.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-06-29, version 1.1*

I used this app on a journey involving several trains today and it was spot on giving information about the train I was on and offering alternatives for a connection I wasn't going to make.

### 5/5 — Fantastic for a non-regular train user

*2015-05-20, version 1.0*

As someone who doesn't uses trains regularly this app is fantastic, really helps to know exactly where my train is and where I need to go when I arrive at a platform e.t.c. Can't believe an app like this has only just been done!

### 5/5 — Just what I need

*2015-05-19, version 1.0*

Perfect for connections!!!

### 4/5 — Pretty good so far

*2015-05-19, version 1.0*

Would be nice to be able to add recurring journeys for us commuters.
