iPendler Swiss app review: for Switzerland

Introduction

Whether you’re traveling through Switzerland as a tourist or a resident, you’re sure to find iPendler Swiss absolutely invaluable for ensuring that you don’t overshoot stations when moving around by train, bus, tram, or ship.

Whenever I’m traveling in a foreign country I invariably find myself in a cat-like state of alertness which basically equates to constant low-level stress because I’m always concerned I’m going to miss my intended stop or station.

This is one app that should definitely help you to avoid this kind of stress so it receives a very strong recommendation from me.

Never Miss a Stop

This app features a GPS alarm clock to ensure you never overrun your designated stop while traveling in Switzerland, and you’ll find full coverage for more than 24,000 bus, train, ship, and tram stations across the country.

All you have to do is specify the distance from the station at which you would like to alarm to sound and you’ll be reminded before your arrival so that you can wake up, compose yourself, and be ready to disembark when the time comes.

GPS Integration

iPendler Swiss also features an integrated search facility to help you more easily find the stations you need, or alternatively you can use your device’s integrated GPS in order to quickly see nearby stations. This latter option is ideal for setting an alarm when you’re a little closer to your destination.

In case you wondered, this app has been specifically designed to not cause excessive drain on your battery life while GPS is running, plus it features multitasking which enables you to continue listening to music or podcasts while the alarm continues to run. The developer really has thought of everything!
