Comments on Train Beacon Augmented Reality for Android
★★★★★Paul Fearn· Jan 1, 2021
This app is amazing and very accurate. A must-have. Like others have said, it would be brilliant if there was freight and all passenger trains to be shown on a map. I would even pay more for this feature. Amazing *****
★★★★★John Lightowler· Mar 27, 2023
Brilliant for checking your trains location
★★★★★lee penfold· Dec 31, 2020
A Bus Beacon App would be good & follow Train Beacon
★★★★☆Michael Hayward· Apr 1, 2021
A very handy app to check train times and platforms at stations, especially when working on the dateline at a London Terminal! The AR mode for trains seems a little hit-and-miss when I've tried it a few times, but the main function of the app is excellent. Highly recommended!
★☆☆☆☆bob murden· Apr 1, 2021
Hardly anything works. The AR functionality is dead. Tracker works occasionally
★★☆☆☆Mark Hoffmann· Aug 16, 2021
The map needs to follow the train automatically!
