Toginfo now freely available

We have decided to make our first App Toginfo freely available through the Apple App Store. I has all the basic functionality you need to get train times and updates you need for Danish trains. If you need more features consider buying Toginfo Pro which is on sale right now!

Toginfo down for a while

It seems like Bane Danmark's mobile website mobil.bane.dk is down at the moment. This affects Toginfo and Toginfo Pro. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but we can do nothing but wait.

New App: Toginfo Pro Released

We have just released our new App Toginfo Pro. It has some exciting new features compared to the standard version of Toginfo:

  • Live map shows LIVE location of all s-trains.
  • Shows both arrivals and departures (except for s-trains).
  • S-trains are split into north bound and south bound.
  • Faster search using index.
  • Favorite stations. 

The most compelling new feature is clearly the live trains view. It updates every 3 seconds to show the actual location of trains. This is very useful at times where the s-train informations system is out of order. The App is available from iTunes App Store just now priced at DKR 36.

We provide this notice after talking to Bane Danmark who delivers the data for Toginfo. Generally the accuracy of the data provided by Bane Danmark is very good. The up time has so far also been very high although there have been some hours of downtime from Bane Danmark since Toginfo was released.

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.

Toginfo available in App Store!

 

We are now very happy to announce that Toginfo has been released in the Apple App Store. The price is 12 kr and you can buy it in iTunes by clicking this link or by searching 'Toginfo' from the search page of App Store. If you like the App, please spend a few second rating it. You can do that using either iTunes or the App Store on the iPhone after you have bought the App.

We are still very interested to get feedback regarding what features you would like to see in future versions. Share your ideas in the comments!

Toginfo is being finalized!

With the help of our 30 beta testers we have now found and corrected the majority of bugs (we believe). A few extra features have also been added after suggestion from the testers. An example of a small, yet very useful, feature is the ability to search for station names without typing Danish letters æøå. Eg. one could now find the "København H" station only by typing "kob" in the search field. 

We are now in phase 2 of the beta testing. We expect only few bugs to be discovered and fixed before the release. However, we are still fine tuning the graphics of the App so that it can look appealing.
