RailBandit app Updates

RailBandit 2.7 for iPhone released with two new features. RailBandit for Android and BlackBerry are also updated to include the same functionality.
We've added two new ease of use  features: schedule groups and departure/arrivals screen.
Schedule groups. Certain railroads (LIRR and SEPTA, most importantly) have many overlapping lines, when a particular station is served by more than one line. We had to answer a number of user emails asking about the missing trains for some stations, only because it is difficult to know which lines to download, and also because LIRR and SEPTA data our software is relying on does not always represent trains by their lines.

Schedule groups

Grouping these schedules together (see image above) will help to remove such confusion. Also, it’s more convenient to install all LIRR or SEPTA lines with just one click rather than having to select each individual schedule first. This is why similarly we have grouped Chicago CTA, WMATA, BART and a few other schedules as well. Schedule groups are available for all RailBandit versions (Android, BlackBerry & iPhone)
Departures and arrivals screen.The iPhone version now has a new tab on the top of the main screen, titled “Saved Stops”. Any stop you pick as trip departure or arrival is saved automatically and shown in this list (the list is limited to most recent 20 entries). Selecting a stop from this list brings a new screen, with all upcoming train departures  from the selected stop within  the next 24 hours, grouped by destination station. The arrows on the left show the direction of travel (North is shown as “arrow up”). You can switch to upcoming arrivals by clicking on the control on the top of the screen.

We hope you find these additions useful.
