Eurail/Interrail Rail Planner

Used this planner on Two interrail trips now and intend a third very soon. The ability to plan train trips and look at all the options without going blind looking at timetables. This has opened up rail travel to everyone and many of my friends have also downloaded the app

The idea of this is absolutely brilliant, however there has been a few major hiccups along my journey that have been no one’s fault but Inter rail company. On one of my journeys my app got wiped along with my ticket and I was accused of not buying a ticket for the train as my Inter rail app was completely reset. I eventually got this resolved after a stressful hour of arguing with a train inspector who didn’t have any English who was telling me to get off the train, which would have left me in the middle of nowhere! Another problem I have with Inter rail was, for the thalys train out of Paris, you had to have booked months before as all the reservations were gone when we tried to book it days before our journey. Our only option was to pay 155 euro to our destination on the same train. Not an ideal start to the trip! We then get an email 3 days later from Inter rail warning us of the thalys train that you have to book way in advance.. where was this email when we needed it? As I said the concept of this is great and it’s super handy when it works, but on two occasions Inter rail have let us down massively which I’m not impressed with at all!

I’ve never wrote a review for anything but after interailing for a month using this app I had to write a review to warn people about this. If you haven’t already decided to use the mobile pass or paper pass I would strongly advise against the mobile pass. I don’t know how there can be so many bugs and glitches, for example your ticket randomly disappearing right as the ticket inspector comes to your seat therefore you have nothing to show him and will most likely have to pay a fine. Or the app constantly deleting your trip over and over again. There were many bugs and glitches that didn’t have anything to do with actual train times or schedules so I don’t know how the IT team can’t fix them. For your own sanity don’t use this app for your interail just get the paper pass.

A must have for interrailing!

Fantastic app it shows trains between stations and best of all it works offline for roaming.

Having access to train schedules offline is a life saver when travelling to foreign countries. I've been using it for over a month and everything has been perfectly accurate. Not sure how I'd survive without it.

Reservation on the app ,with reservation on the train. Don't trust th app!

It would be a great app if it wasn’t for the serious bug of somehow putting plus one day on certain train routes that most certainly do not take one day, but only a few hours. It throws off the entire planning and rendered confusion. Fix this bug now!!!!

This app is made by people who have no idea of how a user sees it, including this rating page, where I had to try a few times to get from the title to the review. Booking a 5-day trip was insane as I didn’t know how name it and how to include a 2nd person. The pdf with instructions covered only the paper booking. Each time I had trouble finding the current section and the tickets. Maybe I am a dummy but still I am a customer.

App is glitchy. When trying to plan a trip, the search results will display as one day but when you click on it, it goes to the previous or next day instead. Also, some train routes show as more than 24 hours even though they aren’t. This causes problems with activating travel days for the rail pass. When trying to activate the pass for a train in an existing trip,it just kicks you out to the main reservation screen without giving the QR code for the day. Can’t buy seat reservations for some trains, but they are available on other websites. Why doesn’t the Eurail organization have access to all seat reservations? At least the ones that can be bought elsewhere online. Overall, the app needs work.
