Store description excerpt
Your next train, right on your home screen. Rail Watch gives UK commuters instant, glanceable access to live train departures — no app-opening, no scrolling, no ads. Just your trains, at a glance. WIDGET-FIRST DESIGN Rail Watch is built around iOS widgets. Add a small, medium, or large widget to your home screen and see real-time departures for your route without ever opening the app. Colour-coded status tells you instantly: green means on time, amber means a slight delay, red means significant disruption. Your departure board, always visible. JOURNEY MODE — LIVE ACTIVITIES Tap Track on any departure and Rail Watch puts a live countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Pre-departure: time until departure, platform, delay status. En route: next station, remaining stops, and a ticking countdown to arrival at your stop. The activity ends itself shortly after you arrive — no notifications to dismiss, no Live Activities cluttering your Lock Screen overnight. Works on Apple Watch Smart Stack too. DELAY REPAY LIST If a journey you tracked runs 15+ minutes late or is cancelled, Rail Watch records it as a possible Delay Repay claim. A banner on the home screen shows eligible journeys with one-tap access to the operator's claim form and your journey details ready to paste — Avanti, GWR, LNER, Northern, ScotRail, Southeastern, and the rest. No account, no data shared, everything stays on your device. APPLE WATCH COMPANION Check train times from your wrist. The Watch app syncs your favourite routes automatically — raise your wrist, see your next departure. Perfect for when you're walking to the station with your phone in your pocket. If your Watch favourites ever stop appearing, tap "Sync Favourites to Watch" in Help & Support to push them instantly. Smart Stack supported too — a tracked journey appears on your wrist with platform and countdown. MULTIPLE FAVOURITE ROUTES Save all the routes you use regularly. Commute to work, weekend trips to family, that Friday evening train — save each one, reorder them however you like, and set your primary route for widgets. Switch between routes in one tap. LIVE DEPARTURES, REAL DATA Rail Watch pulls real-time data from the National Rail network. Platform numbers, delay information, service status — updated live so you always know what's happening before you reach the station. SIMPLE. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNT. No account to create. No ads cluttering your screen. Rail Watch is a focused tool that does one thing brilliantly: shows you when your train leaves. Anonymous crash reports and usage analytics help fix bugs faster — no advertising identifiers, no personal data, no third-party sharing, and a one-tap opt-out in Help & Support. BUILT BY A COMMUTER, FOR COMMUTERS Rail Watch started because the existing apps were too slow, too cluttered, or too focused on selling tickets. This app exists to answer one question fast: "When's my next train?" Every feature is chosen by users — vote on what gets built next
