** Subscriptions? Oh no! **

Yes, there is an optional subscription - but the app is usable without needing to subscribe.

Here's why you might consider subscribing:

* Support future development of the app
* View the current location of train services
* Show estimated arrival time for disrupted services
* Remove the 5-route limit
* Pin services onto the first screen

If you choose to purchase a subscription, payment will be charged to your iTunes account, and your account will be charged for renewal 24 hours before the end of the current period. Auto-renewal may be turned off at any time by going to your settings in the iTunes Store after purchase.

If you actively use iOS accessibilty features (VoiceOver or Dynamic Type) then you won't need to subscribe - all premium features will be available for you to use for free.


** Responsive developer **

I welcome comments, suggestions and other feedback - but I can't promise to respond to every message.
