TrainLog Express for iPhone & iPad

TrainLog Express brings professional railway tracking to your iPhone and iPad with deep iOS integration. The app leverages Apple's Core Location framework for battery-efficient GPS tracking, automatically switching between precision and power-saving modes based on your movement. All journey data syncs seamlessly across your devices via iCloud, ensuring your complete tracking history is available whether you're using your iPhone on the train or reviewing analytics on your iPad at home.

Built specifically for iOS, TrainLog Express supports Background App Refresh for continuous tracking even when your screen is locked, uses Face ID and Touch ID for secure access to your journey history, and integrates with the native iOS Share Sheet for exporting routes to Maps, Files, or third-party apps. On iPad, the app takes full advantage of Split View and Stage Manager, letting you track your journey in one window while browsing station timetables or maps in another.

The iOS version includes exclusive features like Siri Shortcuts for voice-activated journey recording ("Hey Siri, start tracking my train journey"), Live Activities on iPhone 14 Pro and newer for real-time speed and distance updates on your Lock Screen, and optimized layouts for both iPhone's compact interface and iPad's expansive canvas. Your tracking data remains private and secure, stored locally on-device and encrypted in iCloud with end-to-end protection.
