Has the App stopped working?
I only get error messages now and no allocations

Just checked on my iPhone and it all seems to be up to date and working.

Yeah mine seems to be working again now, thanks!
Looks like the weekend timetable update failed and the app is currently semi-functional - sorry about that - I’m away from the office for a few days and won’t be able to find and fix the problem until Thursday at the earliest.
Typical, it’s worked automatically for over a year now and the minute I go off in the van to explore darkest Devon it goes bang
Guess that’ll teach me to take the laptop next time

I’m still a regular user of it.
The one development I would ask you to consider, is that you can like or follow certain units so that they show at the top of the allocations option rather than having to scroll down and filter to find them every time. I only need thirty odd units for haulage so to have them readily available as;
150279
196007
196009
196011
222601
222602
222605
379029
484004
730202
730204
730206
756005
756106
756112
AT01
AT03
AT06
Plus some 197s and 701/1s.

Sure, no problem - sounds like a useful feature, I’ll pencil it in for the next feature release.

I saw an article here about another app, but I can't find it now
The developer was a member here too.
Can somebody send me a link please ?
thank you !

I’ve installed TrainMapper only a few days ago and have to say I love it, especially the unit allocations for the full day. I’ve given it a five star rating on the App Store.
Well done, keep up the great work!

HiYou don’t like TrainMapper then?
I haven't tried it, but seeing it mentioned, reminded me of the post I saw a few days ago about Railpilot
I'll TrainMapeer a go too.
I assume you are the developer .. without seeing it, I am sure this has taken you a lot of effort, so well done.

Thanks .. I must give it a try
Just a quick heads-up to let you know TrainMapper should be back to normal in a few hours - I've fixed the timetable issue but had to take the feed readers offline for a couple of hours, meaning that a bunch of activation and allocation messages have been missed. As we're towards the end of the daily cycle of activations and allocations you might see incomplete information in the app for the rest of the day, but it'll sync up overnight and should be fine tomorrow. If you see anything else unusual feel free to let me know!

I was wondering if there was any way of filtering the background Apple map on an iPhone?
A filter option showing only the railway lines and place names would provide a better focus. Another would be a highlight of the railway lines to make them stand out more?
Thanks for any advice.

It’s in the backlog as an upcoming option yes, but currently not working very well in my dev version. I’m hoping to move away from native Apple Maps entirely, as I’ve since found a better alternative, but at the time I was developing the initial version Apple Maps was the path of least resistance
I might get it in before the end of the year, depends on how much longer the new ”high res” feed work will take.

Ok, thanks for considering this.
TrainMapper v1.9 is now available for download on Apple and Google app stores, featuring a new "Favourites" screen. Bookmark units and stations for easy access to diagrams and today's movements at any location. The live map now highlights favourite units with a star marker, so you can see if any elusive missing units are in your neck of the woods. You can also filter the live picture to just show favourites. Enjoy!

Just downloaded new version 1.9b.32 offering one off purchase but option not yet available in App Store!? Still showing subscriptions.
One off purchase now appeared - £3.99 heading your way!
Any chance of a future update showing units in correct position in formation rather than numerical order? Other apps manage this so correct data must be available.
A bug or two I've come across. Selecting a train from station listing - e.g. Lewes shows Unit ID's N/A. Same applies when searching Train ID from Live Trains page. However selecting train on map DOES give unit allocation.
Over to you!

Likewise. It's an absolutely amazing app, up there with my favourites! A one off payment that's worth every penny, thanks so much!
Thanks for the feedback - I'll add some notes to the backlog and take a look when I get the chance

Hey, glad you like it, thanks for your support
== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==
Great idea you had there, I've been using it a lot myself while testing it - found myself down at the trackside quite a lot recently to grab shots of those missing local units - game changing indeed
