Eurail/Interrail Rail Planner

The UI of the new version is much better than before, and I highly appreciated that they’ve added the map feature. However, it seems to me that there’s a bug in the app that when I want to save the journey to my trips, it would say it added on the top banner but it was never being saved into my saved journeys. Other than that, it works like a charm. I would also like to see that the app would also show which platforms the trains will be located at, and also some kind of a feature that would show us alternatives routes if I miss a train between a connection. And of course, it will never hurt if we could see the map of a station for tight connections. And right now, I’m just brainstorming, but… apart from the local train schedule database, it would be awesome if we could see the schedule of a train station, or a live update of an upcoming train that I’m gonna need to catch? And it would be really nice if we can see which trains has WiFi/power etc.

I’ve experienced so many serious shortcomings with this app, that I consider it an unreliable source. Routing that puts me on a bus instead of keeping me on the through train to the destination, a complete ignorance of Italian train scheduling for connections, missteps when routing to avoid seat reservations, total failure to place a selected seat reservation in the cart for purchase, telling me there are no trains to a destination when the German S7 lines accept a EurailPass, etc. At best, use it in conjunction with Google Maps, get reliable schedules from the train companies directly, search on your own leg by leg to plan connections and transfers, show the app results to station ticket agents to get a good laugh, learn precise names for destinations for typing them in because the app is not smart, buy your seat reservations on high speed trains through a station agent well ahead of time. I don’t hate this app, I’ve channeled my disgust into constructive workarounds, but Eurail should be ashamed of itself for putting out such a shoddy product. It isn’t free if it leads you into making mistakes and missing opportunities.

NEEDS BUG FIX NOW!! This new version doesn’t have the correct train info!! The only way we know is because we’ve already bought seat reservations for a train from Lyon to Paris and when I went to double check connections my app had updated and we cannot get it to show the correct train time and route! Thank goodness my husband’s phone didn’t automatically update the app and we still have it until this bug is fixed. The seat booking part of the app still has the correct train route and time. So I cannot trust this app until the info on my new version matches my husband’s old version. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!! If you need the specific route it’s Lyon Part Dieu to Paris Gare de Lyon at 9:04 in the morning. This is super frustrating and scary as we’ve been using this app to plan travel for 5 weeks in Europe.

no landscape orientation, only portrait. Tears for large tablet users. The map is just a map without pins for the eurail stations. Not sure how you overlook putting the valid eurail pass stops on the map for an eurail pass planning app, but supposedly the map is a recent feature.. which is even harder to believe. There was a version of this app without a map at all?? Shows where the developer's heads are. But the map thing wouldn't be much of a problem if you could plan a trip. Say London to Brussels, which connect by rail on the eurail website map and each have a station and this App will declare "no connections between those points". Amsterdam to london? Nope. London to Edinburgh? Yes! Hey, 1 out of 3 ain't bad, right? Towel thrown. It'd be faster to plan my trip on an Atari 2600.

This is the worst, most dysfunctional app I have ever used. It is not intuitive, links often loop right back to the same page, and other than buying the passes, was completely useless in making reservations for trains that require them. I’ve been able to make one reservation in the two months I’ve been using the passes. All the other times I had to go to the train ticket booth. The only thing it is good for is train schedules. However I have found many apps that do the same. This is an awful app. With there was an alternative.
