January 31st, 2009

UPDATE: Rejseinfo will be priced at 30 kr. and could show up in the App Store any time.

Rejseinfo has been submitted to the App Store. After being reviewed by Apple it should be on sale in the middle of next week. The price will be 30 Kr. We managed to get some last minute extra features implemented: you can now search for later departures and it is possible to filter departures by type. Finally we have included Favorittes!

Coming up: Rejseinfo

January 26th, 2009

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:

It also states that the software and the information delivered through it is provided “as is” and “as available” meaning that there is no guarantee for the correctness or availability of the provided information. An extract from the EULA regarding warranty is shown here:

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.

Today the German version of Toginfo called ZugAbfahrt hit the iTunes App Store. It provides about the same features as Toginfo, but is in German and shows departures from the more than 5000 German train stations. It is on sale for 1,59 euros.

Kystbanen/øresundstog not shown

January 11th, 2009

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.
