Will you make your connection?

Railwise spots your connections and works with the real delays. So you see at once whether yours will work, and how reliable it has been over the last 30 days.

Same train every day?

Set up your commute once. If tomorrow's train leaves earlier, later or not at all, Railwise lets you know the evening before. Otherwise, you won't hear from us.

  • Tolle App

    Sinnvolle Funktionen, digital Island ist liebevoll umgesetzt und der Support ist sehr gut

  • Ein sehr cooles Tool

    Eine App, die mir zeigt, wie zuverlässig meine Verbindungen mit dem Zug sind, wie cool ist das denn! Klar, es handelt sich dabei immer nur um Wahrscheinlichkeiten, aber für eine grobe Einschätzung reicht das analysieren der letzten Fahrten alleMal. Danke an die Macher dieser fabelhaften App!

  • Tolle App

    Alles was der Zugreisende so braucht an Informationen (z.B. die Wagenreihung) in einer App! Da macht Bahn fahren doch wieder Spaß!

  • Just what I’ve been looking for

    Finally an app which helps showing which connections are reliable and which ones aren’t! So often l catch an earlier train just in case my booked connection „maybe“ won’t come, but with Railwise I finally have the option to see how reliable the connection is. Brilliant idea packaged in a appealing design. Thank you

  • Übersichtlich und

    Vor der Buchung einschätzen zu können, welche Verbindung statistisch pünktlicher ist, ist echt herausragend!

  • Ich liebe die App

    Ich habe aufgehört Bahn zu fahren, weil ich kein vertrauen mehr hatte. Hier habe ich empirische Werte auf die ich mich Stützen kann. Ich weiß nun, dass ein zur später oder 2 Züge früher wesentlich pünktlicher sind. Außerdem sieht die App super aus und das Ui ist mega gut

  • Super App

    Für alle die häufig Bahn fahren oder häufig Bekannte/ Freunde vom Bahnhof abholen ist es super um den Überblick zu behalten
