Ratings and Reviews
Designed by someone who uses Trains
As silly as that may sound, this app is obviously designed by someone who knows what would help them when using the railways: tracking cancellations, platform changes, letting you know you have almost arrived in case you have nodded off. It’s a great at the deserves my subscription and is great value for money.
They also utilise new iOS features and APIs, which I appreciate e.g. Live Activities.
The developer is also really engaging, taking on feedback and improving the app regularly.
Best app in town
This app is brilliant, very nice widget displaying 5 trains at a time and train operators, tap the top departure tab in the widget to alternate between nearest station departures and planned journeys, turning off service alerts makes the widget cleaner and smaller, would like to see an option switch in the widget where you can select between trains going too and trains arriving from, like what you see in the uk train times widget, also tag a train feature which sends push notifications for delays of tagged trains, all in all pucker app
Indispensable train commuter app
I frequently use this app for my train commutes, as it allows me to easily monitor how the train services are running and any problems that are starting to happen. I can also monitor my specific journeys for delays, etc. I highly recommend this app for any train commuter in the UK, and it is more than worth the small subscription fee.
Developer Response ,
