About

Ekioto Tokyo

Features
Read full description

Late night, headphones on. The departure board flips, a platform announcement plays, and a train slowly pulls away. You're not in Tokyo — but for three minutes, you are. Ekioto Tokyo is a tiny train station in your pocket. ■ Stations and trains • Departure boards simulated from published timetables (32 lines, with train types) • Fully-voiced station & in-train announcements, synthesized line by line • Running sounds that accelerate and brake with the train, rail-joint rhythm included • Station name signs, in-train LCD screens, transfer info, car-position diagrams • Weekday and holiday timetables switch automatically with Japanese public holidays ■ Cat Town — an animated streetcar window • A town where cats live rolls slowly past the window • Cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, snow, rain and fireworks follow the season and the local weather (Japan Meteorological Agency observations) • Raining cats: all kinds of cats drift down from the sky • Showcase mode turns a spare tablet or old phone into a little train window ■ Ticket notes and the notes board • Plans shaped like train tickets. Add a date and time and the board and a sound (chime, departure melody or bell) remind you • A notes board for your Home Screen: pinned tickets and upcoming plans line up automatically — punch with "改", write with "+", pick any design or photo as its background • Write without opening the app: from Control Center, Lock Screen buttons, Siri or Share • Use your own photos as ticket designs, crop them, share as images ■ Home Screen and Lock Screen • Platform-board clock: time, date and weather styled like a station sign. Flip between two cities with ⇄ and watch the day go by as a train on a track • 9 clock styles: LED departure board, split-flap, one that follows your line, your own photo and more — plus a departure-board widget • Lock Screen: the now-playing art becomes the station sign at every stop. Plus a Live Activity while riding and Lock Screen widgets ■ Alarm and music • Wake up to your favorite station's announcement, sleep timer included • Keep using your own music app — we duck it during announcements and restore it after For focus, for background, for falling asleep. And a ticket with your plans on it, arriving right on time. Homesick for Tokyo? It's one tap away. ■ Pricing The Yamanote Line is free forever. The Hibiya Line and music can be tried free for 3 days. Free to keep: the Platform-board clock, the notes board, 10 ticket notes and 3 alarms. Basic (one-time purchase): 32 lines, music, photo showcase, the Cat Town streetcar window, every clock style, the Lock Screen board (Live Activity), unlimited notes and alarms, and photo and cat ticket designs. Pro (one-time purchase): window art packs (ukiyo-e and more), 4 more streetcar lines, stopping patterns, live data with your own ODPT key, and more.
