I just wish it looked a tad nicer but absolutely love the app. -- Jam039, 2023-06-21 ### ***** "Excellent app!" Excellent app, extremely useful. I hope one day it will include freight trains as well as passenger services. -- foto2021, 2022-05-06 ### *---- "Waste of £4.99" This app won’t let you set your departure station it just assumes based on your location. AR doesn’t work and it’s practically useless so I’ve requested a refund. Can’t understand how it gets 4 stars. -- WaterRabbit63, 2021-09-20 ### ***-- "Tracking" Is there any way to be able to track freight trains, loco moments, stock movements and rail tours? -- 333211456H.jones8681456, 2021-03-16 ### *---- "Beware" Beware before you purchase the App that the AR mode/facility doesn’t work on any phone. Mine is an iPhone 6 Plus which is apparently not compatible ! -- Pjs166, 2020-06-17 ### **--- "It’s a good app but.." In general it’s a good little app.. my only problem with it is that you can’t access the map without tapping on a service.. if this can be changed in a future update then that would be super! And its only passenger services.. so if your wanting a proper train tracker which tells you every about train on the Britain’s rails that day then this isn’t the app for you.. -- The 60103 Fan, 2020-05-05 ### ***** "Best yet needs some work" Iv been trying different Apps out Useing the AI is great Hear is my way of improving the add the train provides to the app will be great and add plan your journey -- hamster200000000, 2020-04-04 ### ***** "Great app" Like that it shows intermediate stations on the destination boards. Had an issue with the app on mobile data at first. Emailed Chris and he replied promptly, and after sending him further information he new what the problem was and sorted it immediately. -- billf10, 2020-03-16 ### ***** "Great app" This app is great and very accurate with train times and there location, Am a big fan of it -- frazerplank, 2020-03-13 ### *---- "Disappointing." I have been trying to open the app for over an hour unsuccessfully. It is unable to connect to mobile internet and can only connect using WIFI from a stationary site, whiz is of no use if travelling. -- ......?????......, 2020-03-13 [View all Train Beacon reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Train Beacon In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Train Beacon Pro (Monthly) | £4.99 | ## Apps Similar to Train Beacon -
