Kizoom Myrail Lite

Kizoom Myrail Lite

I change my mobile about every 3 years – I’m not into technology for the sake of it. All I want to do is to make calls and send text messages. Well, until I got an iPhone that is…

OK, I admit I was taken in by the sexiness of it all but I promised myself that I only wanted it for the web and email; I wouldn’t go mad and buy loads of apps. Just Crash Bandicoot and Super Monkey Ball (for my kids, of course) and Texas Hold’em, err, and MetaSquares, OK, and Koi Pond but that’s it. Then a colleague tells me about Kizoom’s MyRail Lite (sic) app and it’s free (for now) so that’s gone on too.

If you’re UK-based and like letting the ‘train take the strain’ (TM) this is a brilliant app. It hooks into the National Rail enquiries database and provides a real-time visual guide to train times: arrivals and departures even scheduled times and actual times with all those nice delays showing up in red. It even integrates with the iPhone’s sat nav to find the nearest station to where you are.

Did I also say it’s free? It’s on iTunes. I don’t work for the company. I don’t know anybody who works for the company and there’s not an affiliate link in sight!
