Train Brain – iPhone App Review

September 22, 2009

Train Brain has one purpose in life and that is to help you find the next light-rail train in Minneapolis and tell you when that train will arrive at your destination.  The light-rail currently has 17 stops between downtown Minneapolis and the Mall of America.  Train Brain covers all of these stops.

If you’ve every used the Metro Transit website or their mobile web app you know that it can be cumbersome and sometimes time consuming when you’re on the go.  Fortunately, Train Brain is here to help will all your light-rail needs.

Train Brain utilizes the Metro Transit light-rail schedule and GPS to give you  an easy to use interface to find out what time and where your next train will arrive.  Lets say you’re not at the light-rail station and you want to know when a train will arrive at any of the 17 stations.  You can do that too!  The interface allows you to select from anyone of the available stations.

Key Features:

  • GPS integration
  • Covers all light-rail stations
  • Ability to choose northbound or southbound routes
  • Get directions to the light-rail station via Google Maps
  • Cheap! $1.99 and well worth it!

Additional Note: This will work with iPod Touches as long as you have a data connection (Wi-Fi).
