What to expect from the Rejseinfo 1.1 update

I'm currently finishing the first update to the Rejseinfo iPhone App. It will have improved performance, stability and add a few new features. First of all the App will start up a little faster. Rejseinfo 1.1 will remember the tab you used the last time and take you directly to it. When you select a station/stop it is very different how long it will take to load all the departures and time tables. The update introduces a new "Quick" function you can use for stations with lots of departures, such as Copenhagen Central Station. When you press the quick button you will not be able to look at the time tables afterwards, but in return the page will load much faster. Another new thing is that Rejseinfo will now display the track number of departing trains (if available). A few users have experienced instability. This issue should be fixed now as well.

The update should be available by friday or sooner.

Rejseinfo #1 in Danish App Store

Rejseinfo is currently the best selling App in the Danish App Store. The amount of feedback from users has so far been tremendous, but just keep mailing feature requests and post comments on this site. I will try to answer everyone and the ideas that I find is the best will get implemented in feature updates of Rejseinfo.

I am already working on the first update for Rejseinfo. If you find the App useful you should consider to write a review in iTunes.

Coming up: Rejseinfo

We are pleased to announce our upcoming App Rejseinfo. It's an App like Toginfo, but it will show departures of almost all Busses, trains and ferrys. This includes Metro and local trains not listed in Toginfo. The data is downloaded directly from rejseplanen.dk. Search within all 22408 stations and bus stops in Denmark or let the "Near stops" function locate your local bus stop. As with Toginfo, Rejseinfo will keep your favorite bus stops listed in the "Most used" tab. Rejseinfo will be avaliable in the App Store within short time. Here are some screen dumps:

Kystbanen/øresundstog not shown

UPDATE: Bane Danmark now seems to have solved the problem.

Bane Danmark is currently not delivering data for Kystbanen. Bane Danmark's time tables are also not working: Bane.dk:Kokkedal departures

This may be due to the fact that DSB First has taken over the service of Kystbanen from today Sunday. We have informed Bane Danmark of the issue and hope they will fix it soon.
