An official app from JR-EAST in English is released.

Another handy app related to train information has been released from JR East on March 20th. What makes this app different from other train apps is that it delivers detailed information on Yamanote line; its congestion situation and temperature on the train. The Yamanote line is a loop line in Tokyo that connects the major city centers like Tokyo, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro and Shinagawa stations. Information on train delays, network map, and station maps are also provided in the app.

Available in both iOS and Android.
