Ah, right, got ya. I've made a note of it, and will have a play to see how it feels with that behaviour.
Thanks!Just to add that V1.4 is now out there, and should reach devices in the next few hours. The most significant addition, @Mathew S , is the ability to specify up to 3 source and up to 3 destination stations. I'll be very interested to hear how you find it in the real world! I'm hoping it's obvious to set up your stations (hint: button appears after you add your first station that lets you add/remove stations!). @BRX I have also incorporated your feedback- the journey heading on the home page now toggles the services (long-click refreshes), and a refresh button has been added to each individual journey (though the global refresh is still there in the action bar).
I'll be interested to hear your feedback.
If anyone else is interested in trying out the app, search for "Commuter Train Check" on Google Play (it's Android only for the moment). Direct link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ijmsoftware.commutertraincheck
The next version will include the ability to add legs to journeys. I have a good idea how to implement, but we'll see how it turns out. I'm aiming to have that done in the next month or so.
I've been using the app the last few weeks, and it's fab (particularly like that it shows the number of carriages, something most other apps don't both with, but which I find really useful).Cheers, @Mathew S
Sounds good, will look forward to trying that out.I'll be releasing "Commuter Train Check" on the iPhone once iOS 14 is launched in the next few weeks (it will only work on iOS 14 onwards, unfortunately). It has the exact same functionality and look/feel as the Android version. I've finished the build, though it needs a some testing on real devices before launching publicly.
I'm also currently building "Journey Planning" functionality to both the iOS and Android apps in due course - I'm currently building the server-side components (the bits that get the updated timetable data each night, and the bits that the apps talk to). My thinking with the design is to allow a journey (which currently only shows the live times) to be "switched" to Journey Planner mode, where you would then specify a date/time for you proposed journey, and it would show the timetables services as opposed to live times. You can then simply switch it back to "live times" mode if you wish (or just keep it in journey planner mode). That would be on a journey-by-journey basis, not a global switch. The journey planner mode would make use of the advanced features of optional from/to stations, and up to three legs, so you could plan a for a fairly sophisticated journey (something that, I think, is still a unique feature amongst these apps). I am aiming to have that functionality out on both platforms by the Autumn, all going well.
