## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-09-06

Home screen widgets have arrived.

• Station widget — pin any station's live departures to your home screen. Small, medium and large.
• Commute widget — your trains to work in the morning, your trains home in the evening, switching over automatically as the day goes on.

Away from home? The Home tab now switches to your nearest station's board on its own, and your home station moves across to the Stations tab so it's still one tap away. Set how far from home counts as "away" — or turn the switching off altogether — in Settings.

Spoken announcements now keep playing when you put your phone away, so you can follow the board from your pocket like a station tannoy. (Premium)

Also in this update:
• Detailed mode now shows technical class and unit numbers (Premium)
• Set your home location by dropping a pin on a map
• Ad privacy choices are now available in Settings
• Departure boards refresh when you come back to the app
• Boards now show the next three hours, so what you see is always relevant

Fixed:
• Passing points missing from Detailed mode on some boards
• "Load more" being unreachable while Detailed mode was on

### 1.2.2 — 2026-09-01

Resolves rare issue that can cause a departure board to render blank.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-31

Fixed a blank gap that could appear in departure lists. The board now tells you when there are no departures, instead of showing an empty screen.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-30

- New: DepartUK Premium - remove ads, unlock Detailed mode (extra journey info) and spoken station announcements
- Departure cards now show the reason for cancellations and delays directly on the board
- Favourites: drag to reorder your saved stations
- Map now opens centred on your location, with a cleaner train and station info panel
- New Settings options: set your home location by GPS, choose how many trains show on your board, and pick departure order (next to arrive or scheduled time)
- Various bug fixes and improvements

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-26

No release notes.
