My favourite app

Really really useful app. My fave Apple Watch app. One thing I would request is that when you lose signal, a common occurrence during rail travel, you still show previous data with a note that there’s no signal to update, rather than clearing all data and saying no signal. I guess that means a local cache of most recent data. There’s no need to discard the info I had before just because I lost signal. Because it means I can’t see something that I previously could, just bc I’m in a tunnel. Or my phone battery died. Stale data is better than no data imo. And get more PR. This is THE most useful Apple watch app. I can’t remember if I paid for this but I would pay £10 forever access.

Great reliable way to help you get around by train

There were problems with the app for a short period. All resolved now, getting accurate information from the app now, that helps you know what is happening with your trains, also gives an idea which platform the train is due to arrive at. Would strongly recommend for anyone using the UK trains.

Reliability down

From today 31st March there seems to be a problem with the app, it is showing incorrect information on the services and destination. It is showing extra trains / extra stops. Really disappointing as this was always an ultimate reliable app that many times enabled me to get to the right train.

Really, really useful.

Just started getting the train to and from work again.

Just remembered how useful it was, so downloaded it again.

Great for getting notifications on my watch rather than checking trains before I leave. Great automation for getting near a station and not overly complicated.

Brilliant stuff.

My favourite app

I travel by rail a lot. I set up my favourite stations and journeys in this app, give it location access and as I approach one of my favourite stations it notifies me of the next train relevant to my favourite station x to station y journeys, the departure times, and platforms. I don’t need to look at boards in the station to find my train and platform. This app shows it to me all in advance, live updates, and bc I’ve set up my faves, It’s just finds my next train for me automatically. Amazing! And it has Apple Watch integration too which means I press a complication and see all the details on my wrist. And I can pin specific trains (time/destination/platform) to the top for easy access so if I don’t make the train I was hoping for I can make a back up plan and have it right there easy to see. And even without a plan, I approach the station, look at my watch and I instantly know the time and platform of my train departure. Amazing 👌🏻 this is also really good for when trains get cancelled and you need to replan your journey. Or if you just cba to plan your journey in the first place. It’s genuinely useful and not some crappy gimmick like most apps on here. Well done to the dev 🏆
