What’s new
Version 1.2.3 · Updated October 10, 2026
Made for iPhone Duo: optimised views bring Stations, your selected live board and Premium Follow a Train together. Direct side controls keep station and board actions within reach. Live information comes first. Qualified timetable departures fill supported gaps and stay clearly labelled Scheduled. Incoming terminal arrivals remain separate from departures, with platform information shown where the source supports it. This update also improves Live Activity and widget freshness, preserves individual source clocks, and corrects DLR line status on Home.
