    Sadly, not yet. Indian Railways love Windows more it seems.
    Both Android and iOS versions have been promised. Arrival date is still under wraps.

    They launched on Windows because of the tie-up between the Indian government and Microsoft. They have promised an Android and iOS version too and it shouldn't be too long before the apps debut on respective app stores. I think a responsive site would have been a better solution.
