Some trains in Germany are almost always on time. Others are late more often than not. The problem? There's no easy way to find out which is which, until now. Railwise tracks thousands of long-distance trains every day and turns that data into something actually useful: real reliability stats for every train. On-time rates, average delays, cancellation history, platform changes. All based on what actually happened, not what the schedule promised. Got a tight connection? Check whether that 8-minute transfer has worked in the past, or whether you're basically flipping a coin. Planning a trip? Compare trains and pick the one that actually shows up on time. But Railwise isn't just about delays. Save your journeys and build up a personal travel map of everywhere you've been. See your stats, total kilometers, hours on trains, cities visited, favorite routes. Think of it as a travel diary that fills itself in as you go. When you're on a train, Railwise keeps you updated right on your lock screen. Delays, platform changes, next stop — all through Live Activities and Dynamic Island, no need to open the app.
