Linking Planners across Web and Mobile App

I find using the web easier to create plans of my coming trip and prefer it to the mobile app. It seems these two ways of creating trips are not linked albeit I guess the stuff is stored against my account. Is there a way to do this - create on one and port to the other preferably web to mobile app. 

Also I would like to print out my planned trip but it seems that I cannot print out a planned trip in detail from the mobile app. I can send an image to my email address and then print it out but not in detail. 

Also, whilst not relevant here but a whinge - this community web site registering process has a poor interface  … when something is in error it clears all the fields.    

All this is fairly elementary to IT savvy folk. What’s the problem!

Thanks for the very useful advice.

I have now tried Bahn.com which is good but seems to miss out (better) alternative legs for journeys from home in Yorkshire to London - easily overcome. So I will continue to use it for planning purposes.

I am still exploring ways to print out final (if there is ever such a thing) plan from the phone. I am an old school paper man, albeit that’s after 40 years working in IT. It’s like maps, you need the totality to see where the finer detail bit fits in.

Does Bahn.com support a full plan which I could store, amend and later print?

As far as I know, there’s still no way to link what you save on the web version with your phone.

But the best solution is, actually, not to use the web version at all. Use Bahn.com for all your research- it’s much more up-to-date. Then just enter your journeys into the phone app once you’ve finalised things.

For the UK, www.nationalrail.co.uk is actually more reliable.

I don’t know about printing, but I do tend to use the DB app (DB Navigator) and bookmark my trips. That way you keep a clear overview of all your train trips. It saves the journeys and it’ll give you automatic updates (if real time information is accesible for the DB systems). I don’t know if you can print it though, maybe via the website. Germans tend to be still more paper-focused than the European average nowadays :)

Some other national train planner apps have a similar functionality, but since the railways are still very domestically focused I’m afraid there’s not a single app, with that specific functionality for all of Europe alas.

On bahn.de, at the bottom right of the connections overview, there's a link "Print view”.

For planning purposes though I tend to use the old text-based planner (in English). Its results can easily be copied into a text file, or Google doc (with a monospace font like Courier) for common planning with friends.
