Using Eurorail global flexible pass is a great way to travel in the European countries. A very convenient way where I had taken a 10 days flexible 1st class pass with a cover period of 60 days and have used it in full to travel to p various cities like Paris, Zurich, Vienna and now enroute to Florence, Rome , Nice and Paris.
Only challenge is to book reservation seperately in all cross country trains but the coverage is great, where all superfast trains like Euro star, TGV LYRIA etc are included. I would recommend all to use for convenience and peace of mind saving all your booking, journey details in one place.

Very easy app and practical. The planner is great!!! Especially when travelling to different cities. However some of the transfer times are extremely short for who travels for a longer period of time with luggage. There is one of our rides with 3 minutes for change, not allowing any room for delays, which happen in wintertime. The solution was to travel very early in the morning in a train which had no connection, which was the only possibility in the day. It would be great if in the app a connection ride could be modified in time, allowing for delays.

I'm not sure the app deals with time zones. I seemed to have problems with arrival times and using those to book an Uber for example. Information on how to get around at stations would be extremely helpful.

Easy to book, easy to travel to new places. And easy to change plans. The Interrail pass was the reason I got to discover and enjoy places I otherwise wouldn't fly to or go to by train.
