The main goal of this build is to upgrade the app to be more compatible with the current iOS release (and remove the pesky warning about the app being slow). Because of changes in how iOS handles contacts, please review and update the email addresses of any notifications you have configured. Also, if you use notifications please go to Privacy - Location Serivces and set RailTime to "Always". More to come soon!

Minor bug fixes - much more coming in the next release!
2.4

iOS 7 compatibility! Twitter now uses the iOS methodology of twitter access so separate credentials are not required.
2.2

Facebook Integration! If you're running iOS 6 and have entered your Facebook credentials in iOS, RailTime can now post your trip to your Facebook object graph.
The train board now shows "from" and "to" on the headsign, so you don't have to notice what direction the arrow is pointing to make sure you're going in the right direction.
Users that only have 1 line seldom (if ever) go back to the "Lines" screen, so they never see the "Subscriptions" button. This caused quite a number of users to have to ask how to renew their subscription. Now, we love hearing from you, but we don't want to make things harder! So, we've added a "Subscriptions" button to the Info page.
Also on the info page, we've added a "Help" button that takes you directly to the FAQ page on our website.
Lastly, we fixed a few bugs that could have caused duplication of train data on your device. We think we have the problem licked - but please let us know if you experience such an issue (or any other issue for that matter).
2.1

Fixed crashing issue for iPhone 5 users
2.0
2012-09-21
Built for iOS 6, including resizing for the 4" retina display!
1.9
2012-08-29
Tweaks to the algorithm that calculates connections at 125th Street and Grand Central Terminal for better connections.
Removes storage of membership data in the user's keychain, which was causing corrupt data issues.
Support for the "Bus" status in the MTA's data feed to signify when a train is being replaced by a bus.
1.8

Modified the route planning to allow traveling from one line to another through Harlem or Grand Central Terminal. It's a bit slow, but at least it works!
1.7
2012-05-25
Fixed an issue where schedules would show trains that would not normally discharge passengers at the destination station (they're for pickup only). Some people have liked this "feature", but more and more users are having difficulties because the conductors are not accepting their tickets to disembark at those stations. PLEASE NOTE: After upgrade, unless you remove RailTime from your device and reload it, the schedules will not be correctly reflected until the next data update is sent to your device.

Happy New Year!
The most requested RailTime feature is here! You can now see track and status information for your trains!
We've also tried to improve false positives for tracking (when RailTime thinks you're on a train when you aren't). This is dicey, since GPS on a mobile phone in a moving train is far from precise. Your feedback and tracking logs are welcome and appreciated!
Lastly, we've included the first phase of multi-line trips. You can now view 2 train trips between lines (for example, Stamford to Tarrytown). We're planning to add the ability to do a 2 train trip on one side - that's still in the works.
