Trainboard Philadelphia for SEPTA Regional Rail App Reviews

The icon alone would be worth 5 stars :-) Great for iPod Touch users that it works offline. Minus 1/4 star for not being able to actually teleport you where you want to go, so you dont have to ride Septa in the first place.

Now I dont have to go to the Septa website to scry for info. Some additional functions would be nice. People generally take the same route and it would be nice to restrict the station views to that route. Push functionality for when the trains are late would be cool too. But that being said, this app is a winner.

Looks nice, but no easy way to select a station (unless GPS says youre there already), and no way to filter results from a busy center-city station. For now, stick with iSepta.org

This app was put together pretty well and could be great with a few tweaks. As another reviewer mentioned, the app is pretty much useless to me when catching a train @ suburban or market east unless I know my trains schedule ahead of time. My suggestion is to add a feature where you can select your regional line or even add it as a favorite. Also, if it isnt realistic to add real time data for more that a few trains, there should be generic schedule info so the user has some idea when the next train is coming. If I could scroll down and find the next r3 this app would be so much better. As it is, I find it useful at times and well worth the buck.

A nice app for keeping track of the regional rail schedules. The UI is a bit spartan, and it would be nice to include other SEPTA services, but if you use Regional Rail frequently youll find this quite useful.

Definitely loving the offline function :D. You should other means of transportation also though. Buses maybe?

I didn’t understand this app right away but now Ive that I’ve had it for a few weeks; I find myself using it all of the time, its very reliable! I was standing in front of the live schedule board (whatever you call it) at Suburban Street station and I was comparing this application with the live board. I have to say, I was very impressed with how accurate this is. If the Suburban Station board read that a train was 5 minutes late, it would also read the same train was 5 min late on this iPhone app. When the live board changed, this application changed accordingly (after it refreshed). If you don’t understand this application right away, cross reference it with iSetpa.org. You will find that this is a great app! - My wish list would be adding what track the train is on (one and a while, on rare occasions, the track does change).

Septa had changed line names. There is no R1 R2 etc. Needs updating. Also would be good to know if trains are express.

I was really excited to download this app so that I could know if my train was running late and when its scheduled to arrive. Well, the scheduled arrival times on here arent even accurate! I missed my train because according to this app it was supposed to arrive at a time that isnt even listed on septas schedule..this wasnt a late arrival either, it was listed as on time, just at the wrong time.. 10 minutes later! Stick to isepta.org.. Free and accurate

This is a neat little app. It wiuld be wonderful if you could look up future schedules. Either look up the schedule for a particular day or have Mon - Fri, Sat, and Sunday (holiday) groups like the printed schedules do.

Good idea but uses outdated schedules. In serious need of an update. Dont waste your money.

Outdated schedules. Useless. Use septas mobile site "next to arrive" feature-works great for free.

I downloaded the original version of this app and it was fantastic...5 Stars. Used it everyday as I commute from DE to PHL. Easy to read, fast, accurate. This "new and improved" version must still be a work in progress: train schedule (little yellows dots) is hard to read, on-time/late should show up in green/red color as in original, crashes on iphone 4 when using location services and is just TOO slow...Please re-improve this great app... --> v2.01 - Thank you so much for this updated version. It is outstanding and fixes all of the outstanding issues that cropped up in V2: location crashing is gone, text is now quite readable, late trains are in red...Thanks so much for listening to customer comments and suggestions, and implementing them so quickly...5+ stars...

The updated version of this app has the new SEPTA rail schedules. Before the schedule change I used this app all the time. I take SEPTA maybe 10 times a month, and this app was always spot on stating how late each train was running. Everything works great. I just note that after you select your station or line it take 5 to ten seconds to set up the schedule you want to see, but that is a small price for the convenience this app provides.

I have the latest iPhone 4 os and loaded the app update. It doesnt launch. Try the new SEPTA mobile appl. More relevant info and free. I had this app for about 1yr. It was always too slow and buggy. For 2.99 I expected more. Disappointing to say the least!

Works on my Verizon iPhone. Takes long time to lunch and has no opening screen to indicate status of loading. Simple and could use a different font. Overall an OK app.

The interface is maddening. At least its location aware, but its slow. Its a roll of the dice whether or not it will work properly when it boots. Id like it to remember my route - I generally take one train, and I want know departure and arrival time, but this app doesnt show arrival times. It does show late times though, which is a bonus. I have to say, I end up using isepta.org the most.

I purchased this app in July 10 and loved it while it worked. It was always a little slow and crashed occasionally. Then it was updated and hasnt worked since. Useless if it wont even load.

When I first purchased this it worked great now its stuck for the 10:18/10:21 train schedule. Very disappointing!! Please fix . Just an update very happy with the Developer quick to respond and listened to concern also he worked At it until he found the problem and is now working on a fix for it! Thanks for the quick response and attention

I like this app. When I wake up in the morning I can check my train to see if it is late or not. But it would be better if I could see the whole train schedule for one line to see later in the day. As of now it only shows a few hours in advance. So I still need to pull out my paper schedule to check when my train is then use this app later to see if it is late or not. Maybe this feature could be added to next update
