FAQ
How does nxTrain choose Outbound or Return?
On iPhone, you can view both journeys at any time. On Apple Watch, nxTrain focuses on your next commute.
How often does it update?
nxTrain updates more around your commute windows, and less outside them, to stay useful without unnecessary background activity.
Will it affect battery life?
It is designed to be efficient, with smart scheduling and local caching to keep battery impact low.
Can I choose commute days?
Yes. Pick your regular days and use "Commuting today" for one-off travel.
What happens on non-commute days?
Background activity is reduced and glanceable surfaces may show "No commute today" until your next commute day.
Will it use lots of data?
No. It keeps requests efficient and reuses recent cached results where possible.
What if a train is delayed with no estimate?
nxTrain will show the next train with an estimated arrival time, so you have more certainty. If an estimate is later provided for the delayed train, it will appear in the app, iPhone lock screen widgets, and Apple Watch complications.
