Ratings and reviews

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

Excellent app. Plenty of features, without bloat; I particularly like that it indicates whether a train often departs late. The visual design does not adhere to Material guidelines, but is clean, fast, and easy to read, so I have no problem with it. I have not noticed any bugs or jankiness while using the app.

I travel between Reading and Paddington and there are varying speeds of train, stopping or direct services. What this app is missing is a way to filter by direct only or to show the arrival time in the list of the results. Without that it really limits it's ease of use as I have to open the search results individually to find out which ones are direct. There would be space in the UI if you reduced the padding between the platform and the time until departure.
