This app helps you get around Switzerland using the awesome Swiss public transport system. This app is *not* affiliated with or supported by the SBB corporation in any way. It is a personal side-project - an alternative to (but not a replacement for) the official SBB app.
Introducing PIMP MY SBB -- its easy to use while running for the train, and its designed from the ground-up with speed in mind. Compared to the official SBB app, it starts faster and is more optimized for repeat-travel (like going from the office to the gym, or from home to church, etc).
You enter labels for locations you travel to, and simply pick them from the spinner-control the next time you want to travel to them. Little details like automatically selecting the opposite direction when you reopen the app mean less time is required to find out what platform you need to be on, right now.

Latest reviews of Pimp My SBB! app for iPhone and iPad
The app is much quicker than the official SBB Mobile app and is geared towards repeat travel like commuters. There is also an interesting implementation of the " leaving in" countdown function. The interface (and name) represent some individual choices. No in app ticket purchase and it is not location aware yet, but it can easily take the place of SBB mobile for timing daily repeat trips. If you are going someplace new you will want the SBB app.
I love the app but I think some of the train times are old . Please check that it accesses the most recent database! Thanks!
Thanks for fixing the app! I use it daily so its much appreciated. Much faster then going to sbb or zvv. Love the app!
Love this! Easy and simple to use.
