Review summary

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 Additional common complaints include the absence of dark mode, outdated train visuals, inability to save favourites between devices, and limited filtering options, which users hope will be addressed in future updates.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Train diagrams and fleet visuals are outdated and need updating.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.

2024-10-13	Co*****	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.

2024-01-31	Ma*****	So many users don't realise that the information eg platform number comes from National Rail data, this app has no control over what is sent in the feed. Also you CAN reorder your favourites click and drag to the order you want. Don't give a bad review for your ignorance

2023-03-10	Ja*****	Used to be great, only 4 stars because it doesn't display platform numbers on trains which were useful when you didn't have too much time to change trains!

2022-10-15	Ri*****	Fantastic real time updates. Simple to use, although that means complex tasks aren't possible. Does what it does really well.

2022-09-24	ke*****	Not many london train apps out there like this one although i can't fault that london bus checker app. We need apps like this for details about trains, platforms and overground service.

2022-06-30	sa*****	Brilliant app. I work on train station use this app more than Trainline or National Rail. Past two days though stopped showing what platform the trains are leaving or arriving on. This is integral for my job. Fasteroute can you check out why this has happened. Thanks

2022-05-14	AP*****	Pretty good but needs dark mode support. What would also be great is to save screen space in the Favourites by not having to define X-Y and Y-X separately, instead just having X-Y and an adjacent button to display Y-X trains.

2022-03-31	Ch*****	Simple and uncluttered a brilliant app for providing live train times. Have used it for years now and I can't fault it. The simplicity is one of is strong features although some mark it down because it doesn't try to do everything! Live trains are what is required and this does it well. Easy to set and clear a favourite which is useful so you can use them for a custom journey to save entering stations twice as you check changes of trains etc. You can drag favourites as needed. Highly Recommended
