I have for PKP Rozklad and for Slovakia IDeme Vlakom. I haven't used either app for buying tickets, just journey planning and live departure boards.

I’ve discovered Rail Europe App and so far it’s been the best of a bad bunch to use.

And it's more expensive than using individual country apps or websites.

Hint, to book a reservation on Deutsche ShieseBahn it is cheaper to use ÖBB Scotty. Explain that one EU.
I take back my previous comment.
Planning a journey for next week and my destination doesn’t exist on Rail Europe.

Can anybody advise the app I need for Poland? And Slovakia?

Graham, and others, are probably better able to respond to this.

At least somebody doesn't think our system is the worst.

I'd like to read this article but unfortunately it requires a log in on my Czech phone.

A delay on one train isn't as simple to continue your journey automatically on the next train either.

You'd think the EU could sort this all out?....
