Reviews:
Loved it!  By: HuckleberryPie - Aug 25, 2009 Version: 3.0 Essential for travelling by Train in Switzerland! We used it for a month and it worked great. Suggestions - it would be nice it the schedules could be accessed without needing wifi or data roaming. Also, it would be great to be able to narrow search parameters to only include trains that take bikes (that would've been helpful for us anyways). One more thing! A map of the specific train to show where the 1st class/2nd class carriages are as well as where the bike carriage is (sometimes it's a separate carriage, sometimes not) so you know where to stand on the platform.
Absolutely perfect  By: afxp - 24-Feb-2009 Version: 2.02 Don't be put off by the non-English description because this app has full English support. It's also amazingly good! The interface is simple and easier to use than the website itself. Ideal for anyone travelling in this beautfiul country. Some thoughtful extras show the (extremely) rare occasions when trains are delayed from live news feeds. Brilliant, why doesn't the UK have an app of this quality?!
Now you are able to buy tickets with this app  By: Egg453 - 05-Oct-2009 Version: 3.1 Swiss engineering at its best! As mentioned, you can now buy a ticket and disply the e-ticket within the app. Do not forget to register on the sbb.ch first, though.

Fantastic  By: Serial55 - Jul 18, 2009 Version: 3.0 This application is fantastic, the 3.0 update of it really nails it! Purchase of ticket directly over iPhone on air is just flawless!
Lifesaver  By: cpr516 - Jul 8, 2009 Version: 3.0 This is a must if traveling in Switzerland via trains. I found it easy to use and accurate.
Super handy  By: Petite fourche - Apr 24, 2009 Version: 2.5 Best way to find train schedules in Europe. All the euro rail websites are useless, but this app nails it. Good interface. Great having intineraries saved to the ipod for reference while jogging to the connection.
Makes my life so much better!  By: diamondscan - Feb 17, 2009 Version: 2.02 Easily figure out routes quickly from place to place. I only wish there was more than one "take me home" address to save in the app.
Nice history feature  By: flashCard user - Jan 30, 2009 Version: 2.02 Very easy to use, loads results quickly.
Can browse entire European timetable  By: gethryn - Dec 17, 2008 Version: 2.02 What a fantastic application!
A must if you travel in Switzerland  By: SYNGEN2 - Nov 30, 2008 Version: 2.02 This is a great tool if you travel within Switzerland. Easy to use and accurate.
Essential  By: Alain Meyer - Nov 13, 2008 Version: 2.01 This app is essential for any Swiss person. Works fantastically.

Fantastic App  By: Humperdick - 25-Jan-2009 Version: 2.02 This is a brilliant app. Easy to use and extremely useful. I would expect nothing less from the worlds best travel system! However SBB should do a map app to go with it.
Great app  By: radical mit - 12-Dec-2008 Version: 2.02 Fast and easy to use. Next step would be to purchase tickets as well! Hope this comes soon
Almost perfect  By: Vesalian - Jul 21, 2009 Version: 3.0 Great app with high degree of usability. The only things that's currently missing is the download-schedule-to-calendar function.
Keep up the good work, SBB!
take it all the way  By: robogobo - Feb 11, 2009 Version: 2.02 This is a good app, much better than the first version (which never auto updated, really bad idea). However, why not take this all the way and allow me to purchase a ticket directly from the app, and support viewing the ticket like MMS and PDF does. Let's go, make it happen!
Can't Wait To Try  By: JW223 - Jan 15, 2009 Version: 2.02 This app looks like it will come in handy during business trips to Switzerland. One comment I wanted to make is that the departure/arrival toggle switch is color coded opposite that of the iPhone settings where typically blue indicates the active selection.
Very good but.....  By: ChunkyChunky - 18-Nov-2009 Version: 3.1 Excellent except..... * Finding stations when buying tickets seems not to be as easy as when looking on the timetable, the suggestions are different (zürich hb gives a result on the timetable but not on the ticket purchase screen). * The ticket favourites are not easily distinguished from one another, doesnt say the zones or stations valid on it so no way to know which favourite is for which ticket (esp if there are a few for ZVV like zone 10 or zone 10 & 21). Some way to tag favourites as the user chooses would be great, so the favourites can be identified easily (e.g. to bern, to zh city, to winterthur etc). Otherwise very very good and welcome!
