Rail Planner review

Rail Planner is not a ticket shop in the usual sense: it is the companion app for Interrail and Eurail pass holders. The Interrail site and the App Store listing describe an offline train planner for Europe, a mobile pass you show at ticket inspection, and a My Trip view with a day-by-day itinerary and a map of your route. You can search only for trains that accept your pass, see at a glance which trains need a seat reservation, and buy many reservations in the app. Pass holders also get listed discounts on ferries, buses and attractions. The pass network spans 33 countries, according to the Interrail Global Pass page. The weak spot is the experience: the app averages 2.8 from 1.6K ratings on the US App Store, live delay information is limited to some railways, and the app does nothing for travelers buying single tickets.
