Read full descriptionHide full description
DokoDemo Transit Board turns your ride in Japan into a large, easy-to-read transit display. The interface is available in English while railway, station, bus, and stop names remain in Japanese as provided by the source data. TRAINS The app uses your current location to identify the railway line and show the current or next station on your device. It never presents an uncertain railway result as fact. BUSES Using Japan's National Land Numerical Information, the app can show nearby bus stops, operators, and services registered for each stop. It leaves out routes, directions, and stop order when the source data cannot verify them. MAKE THE BOARD YOURS Arrange board components and adjust the station count, kana, clock, and more. The one-time Customization Pack lets you preview and combine extra themes, train icons, and an accent color before buying. FOR THE RIDE • Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Optional alerts when you approach or arrive at a station you registered • Portrait and landscape layouts Location and motion processing stays on your device. The app does not upload or store your location history on a server. It does not provide timetables, route planning, transfer guidance, or real-time vehicle positions.
