MyCaltrain back on sale!

I've reposted the MyCaltrain iPhone app to the app store and updated the schedule due to popular request - depending on your definition of popular - it's currently undergoing Apple review and if it passes it should be available in a few days.

If you like it, please take the time to give it a nice review.

Thanks,

Neil.

MyCaltrain Source Code

If you'd like to have a go at updating the Caltrain widget to the new schedule, then here's the source code.

The schedules are stored in the app as text files which were created by cut and pasting the timetable from a page on Caltrain's website.

As long as the text file format is the same, you should be able to do the update, rebuild and test.

The source code is licensed under the GPL.

Let me know if you get something working.

MyCaltrain removed from sale

The Caltrain schedule undergoes a revision this week, as the app isn't up to date I am withdrawing it from sale to prevent confusion for riders.

As I currently don't ride Caltrain, and because the app is given away for free, I can't justify spending time on this project anymore - so I currently have no plans to update it and bring it back.

Thanks to everyone who used the app and liked it, especially the guy who gave it the stella review.

If you like the app and fancy a bit of iPhone development I am more than willing to send or post the code so you can update it and put it back up for (free) distribution. Please email me or post a comment if interested.
