Everyone wants to know location the train currently they are travelling in, delays and new places creates confusion, some people like to take a nap Before they reach their destination but fear missing the destination station.

All of us have used several apps to track train which are mostly unreliable because of delayed update as their source of information is Indian Railway and it takes time for them to update things

Today I am going to recommend an awesome app which will solve all the problems and have some very cool features

Solutions to the problems

  • When we travel via train we often get very slow Internet or no signal at all
  • This app provides you tracking modes like cell towers and GPS
  • GPS can be used even in situation where you have no signal at all and it also improves the location
  • You get a switch to indicate if you are inside the train, so that you can use cell towers or GPS as location tracker, GPS being the most accurate way of tracking
  • Ever wonder which station train just passed and couldn’t read the name, the app also provides station names which the train gallops
  • You also get arrived and to be reached distance in a green flash banner
  • You also get a beta feature to track the train speed which works best with GPS option
  • You also get tracking information in notification shade of your android smartphone
  • Offline timetable to compare with real-time tracking
  • Wanna set an alarm few minutes before you reach your destination, so that you can get ready with your bags or wake up from a nap, this app provides you the feature

Note : keep autostart enabled for the app so that it notifies you reliably and can restart if the process is killed

It will sometimes ring the alarm before time for a safer side, if there is any problem with location tracking

Common features

You also get some common features you find in normal train apps like

  • Seat map
  • PNR enquiry
  • Seat availability

Trust me the app has accurate tracking capabilities, I have tested it myself
