WHY THE APP

How it differs from the web version

  • One tap from your home screen. It does not get buried in browser tabs or history, so it is there right before you board.
  • Everything stays in the app. Moving between train search, the field guide and the journal never throws you back into a browser.
  • It keeps working where the signal drops. The content it needs is stored on the device, so tunnels and mountain sections are less likely to stall it.
  • The GPS audio guide works the same. It counts down to the next view based on where you are.

NOTES

Before you start

  • You need an Android phone with Google Play. There is no iPhone version at the moment.
  • The app is free and does not require account registration.
  • Location data is used only to calculate guidance and is not stored on external servers. See the privacy policy for details.
  • The web version also stays free to use.
