Every train you've ever ridden, mapped on real rail lines - not the straight-line guesses other apps draw. Log the Coast Starlight, your Interrail loop, the daily commute, and watch your personal atlas of the world fill in, route by route. Built for rail enthusiasts, Interrail and Eurail travellers, daily commuters, and anyone who wants a permanent record of where trains have taken them. REAL RAIL ROUTES, NOT STRAIGHT LINES Most apps draw a straight line from A to B. TrainAtlas plots every trip on the actual track geometry from OpenStreetMap rail data, so your map looks like a railway - not a spider web. A subtle "approx" badge flags any lower-fidelity segment - never fake precision. THE MAP MOMENT Save a trip and watch the route draw itself across your map. A small thing - and the reason people open the app every time they step off a train. LIVE DELAYS FROM 30+ OPERATORS (PRO) Real-time status straight from official feeds: Amtrak, VIA Rail, National Rail (UK), Deutsche Bahn, SNCF, ÖBB, SBB, NS, SNCB, Trenitalia, RENFE, SJ, DSB and many more. Get a push the moment your train is delayed. LOG ANYTHING - THE CORE STAYS FREE Unlimited trip logging at no cost, no paywall on the core experience. Mainline trains, heritage railways, metro and subway lines, scenic routes, even rail-replacement buses. Planned, in progress, or completed - it's all kept. 150+ ACHIEVEMENTS Ride every operator. Collect all 47 Japanese prefectures. Hit distance milestones across continents. Unlock the odd snark badge for the journeys nobody admits they enjoyed. Every card is shareable. YOUR PRIVATE ATLAS No ads. No third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. We never track you across apps and never sell your data - the little the app does use is anonymous and only there to run it. Your trips stay on your device and, if you turn on sync, in your own private iCloud that only you can read. FREE vs PRO Free, forever: unlimited logging of any trip from the last 12 months onward - kept on your map for good - plus rolling 12-month stats, manual entry, and share cards. Pro unlocks: - All-time history and stats - Live delay tracking with push alerts - All 150+ achievements - Map Replay - watch any journey play back - Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Import your history from CSV (TrainLog, Trainline, viaduct.world) - Multi-device iCloud sync - Watermark-free share cards - Deep country and operator stats Log your first trip free. No account. No email. Just open the app and start mapping. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://trainatlas.app/privacy
