Train Times UK Review
by on October 18, 2011
Train Times UK wears a big badge saying that it is recognised as an official app for offering train times in the UK but it is not the app that’s recognised by the National Rail Enquiries – that one is called Rail Planner Live. This is because UK rail information has now been made available to anyone who wants to create an app.
Saying that, it still uses all the same information and actually presents this in a nicer way than its rival. As both apps cost the same, there is not much to choose between them.
Train Times UK allows you to look up train information across the whole of the UK but not Northern Ireland. It also gives you live departure information and will offer directions to your nearest station if you ask it nice enough. We did notice some problems with the app working with Gingerbread (Android 2.3) so we are hoping that there will be an update to the application very soon to sort this out.
If you are using a previous version of Android, though, Train Times UK is a great guide through the UK’s rail system – no mean feat, considering how complicated and unpredictable our railways are to traverse.

iPhone
Ragdoll Blaster 3
The iOS equivalent of a plain cheese sandwich: does the job, but it won't linger in the memory afterwards.
iPhone
Puckerz
One for those with a careless bent, and perfect for when you want to play a game but not do any thinking.
iPad
Pulse: Volume One
Stylish, absorbing and challenging, but needs Game Center support and an injection of longevity and jolly.
iPad
Procreate
Some hugely impressive tools and an interface ideal for artists make this a great painting app.
iPhone
Print n share
Difficult to set up, but once you’ve got it working, it offers a great range of print options.
iPad
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within HD
Control issues aside, Warrior Within really is a magnificent sequel.
Android
Vivi In Stile - Peroni
Full of style and a surprising amount of substance
Android
Official EURO 2012 app

iPhone
pxl.
The interface feels a bit out of place on iOS, but it’s a fun app, and produces interesting results.
Puzzlejuice
Absurdly challenging, sometimes brutal, but frequently brilliant (especially on the iPad); just be aware of what you’re letting yourself in for. (Sob.)
