2025-01-06	As*****	So far unconvinced. I wanted an app with a widget (as for some inexplicable reason NR just stopped theirs). However both widget AND app showing ALL services from my selected favourite (home and work) stations. I've seen 2 people say the same then seem satisfied as they resolved it. I've tried about everything in both app and widget and it really is not that obvious at all. This shouldn't be this difficult surely.

2024-12-06	Du*****	Thanks for making available on Android 15. I panicked after I brought a new Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and previous version wouldn't load. Now a happy customer again.

2024-12-01	Si*****	I just re-installed app. My apologies - it was Boards that had the unappealing layout. A good app that does what it says I have just re-re-installed app and I quite like it. Bear in mind the two-tier approach train companies have, which smaller stations having a poor/no service in critical situations, If app could show from work station only trains to home station then it would get a five star from me... It does! As promised, 5 stars!

2024-10-07	Ro*****	Useless. I have been sitting on the 18:34train form Horsham to Barnham and your app is still showing it as on time, and then showing the 19:0[ as cancelled, but I'm now on that.

2024-09-29	Jo*****	Very good at what it does but fundamentally limited in that it only does live departures. If it could do proper journey planning so I could see trains later in the day or on future days it would get 5 stars.

2023-09-15	Ni*****	Similar to the official NRE app, but less features. The UX isn't intuitive. It took me a while to remove stations from the dashboard. I expected to drag to a bin, as you drag to reorder, rather than swipe to find a hidden bin icon. I needed to remove stations as my home and work stations were listed twice. Once I got it set up I then couldn't find a way to filter the 'departure/arrival boards', as I only care about specific destinations. I'm sticking with the (slightly buggy) NRE app.

2022-09-30	Al*****	Overall - this is fine. I bought it for the widget so I could easily see when I had to leave the house to get a train. However, I live by a station which is on a loop. There's a v long way round from my departure station and a short way round. Unfortunately the widget displays both, with no indication of which is which, which means the app is not as seamless as I'd like.

2022-03-25	Er*****	Its better and cleaner than the national rail app and doesnt kill my battery like the NR one does by scanning bluetooth. Just paid for the widget simply to support the developer because you can get away without the widget. Edit March 2022: suddenly using a lot of battery despite no uodates.. Not sure why...Edit: Reboot of phone seems to have fixed it ...
