Limitations and Accuracy Notes
Users report that timetable information sometimes contains errors, so cross-checking key times before you travel is wise.

FAQ
Do I need internet to use Rail Planner Eurail/Interrail?
No. Once you download the app, timetable searches and route planning work offline. You'll only need an internet connection if you use seat reservations, check pass benefits, or access certain premium features.
Can I make seat reservations through the app?
The app offers seat reservation for some trains, particularly night trains and high-speed services where reservations are required or recommended. However, users have reported that the reservation payment process can be unreliable, so it's worth testing it early and having a backup booking method on hand.
What if I find an error in the timetable information?
Timetable data occasionally contains inaccuracies, especially regarding whether a reservation is compulsory on certain routes. Always confirm key details (departure times, reservation requirements, and train numbers) with the official railway operator before you travel.
Will my saved trips sync between my phone and computer?
No. Trips saved on one device won't automatically appear on another. You'll need to keep a separate note of your itinerary or re-enter your searches on each device.
Does the app cover trains in the United Kingdom?
Only a limited number of British stations and connections are searchable in the app. If your journey involves UK rail, you may need to consult a separate resource for those legs.

Yes. The app shows all timetables and routes regardless of pass status. The pass holder benefits section highlights discounts and special fares available to pass owners, but the timetable and planning features are available to everyone.
