User Reviews

Fasteroute is appreciated for its reliable, real-time train information and simple, user-friendly interface, often preferred over official alternatives. Users value the ability to manage favourite stations easily. However, multiple reviews highlight the app's failure to consistently display platform numbers as a significant drawback. Additional common complaints include the absence of dark mode, outdated train visuals, inability to save favourites between devices, and limited filtering options, which users hope will be addressed in future updates.

Pros

Provides live, real-time train updates and arrival/departure information reliably.
Simple and uncluttered interface that is easy to use and navigate.
Allows users to set and reorder favourite stations for quick access.
More lightweight and user-friendly compared to official National Rail app.
Developer is responsive to user feedback and maintains app development.

Cons

Does not consistently display platform numbers, which many users find essential.
Lacks dark mode support, which some users desire for better usability.
Train diagrams and fleet visuals are outdated and need updating.
Cannot save or transfer favourite stations when changing devices.
No option to save favourite routes or filter for direct trains, limiting usability at busy stations.

Ĺove the app easy to use. Needs updating with new stations. Update Having uninstalled the app because of it not being updated for a long time was pleased it is again being developed. Maybe you could add an option to reverse a favourite route and add number of carriages.
