more v1.28.0
Plan your trip just by asking.
1. Running late with your hands full? Tap the mic next to Starting from and ask the way you'd ask a friend: "Home to Work by 9am", "Central to Parramatta after 6pm", "get me to uni tomorrow". KRAIL picks the stops and the time for you, right on your phone. It knows your own labels too, so "office" finds your Work stop. Rather type? Type it instead.
2. Lots of alerts on your trip? Open Service Alerts and KRAIL sums them all up in a few short lines at the top, so you know what matters before reading the lot. Tap thumbs up or down to tell us if it helped.
3. Planning on your iPad next to your calendar? KRAIL now runs side by side with other apps in Split View and Stage Manager. Resize it however you like: when there's room the map sits beside your trip, and when the window is narrow your trip gets the whole screen. On iPhone Duo, KRAIL fills both screens. Open it up and the map sits right beside your trip.
4. The mic and the alert summary work on iPhones with Apple Intelligence.
5. Fresh timetables, stops and routes from Transport for NSW.
If KRAIL makes your commute easier, a quick rating helps other Sydneysiders find it.

v1.27.0
You can talk to KRAIL now.
1. Hands full on the platform? Tap the mic in stop search and just say where you're going. It's for the moments when typing is a pain: you're carrying shopping, it's raining, or the train is two minutes away and you're still on the stairs. Speak the start and type the rest if that's quicker. Your phone does the listening itself wherever it can, so the audio stays on your phone.
2. Searching for a stop is easier than ever. You don't have to type a stop name exactly the way it's written. Get it close and KRAIL finds it.
3. Lose your signal in a tunnel? KRAIL reconnects automatically the moment you're back above ground, so your timetable is already waiting.
4. Fresh timetables, stops and routes from Transport for NSW.
5. Fixed: tapping Show previous departures now leaves you where you were reading instead of jumping, and service alerts stay put when the list refreshes.
