Trainspnrstatus.com has launched a simple Android app to check PNR status on your mobile. Through this app you can check your PNR status in three easy simple steps. 1) Find your PNR number printed on your ticket. 2) Enter 10 digit PNR number in the app UI. 3) Hit Get status button.
PNR aka passenger name record status is one of the most important metrics in the Indian railways. Whenever a traveler books a reservation or tatkal ticket in the Sleeper class or AC coach, he/she gets a confirmed or a waiting list ticket.
Each ticket has its own ten digit PNR number. Travelers can ignore this number if their seat is confirmed. The PNR is a thing to watch out when you don’t have a confirmed ticket. In the case of an unconfirmed ticket, travelers must enquire PNR status at regular intervals. If they don’t do so, they may have to travel standing or sitting on the floor of the coach unless some other passenger is ready to share his/her seat.

The official IRCTC website provides an intuitive interface to check PNR status. When we’re traveling, the site may not load in the mobile phone’s browser because of network connectivity issues. Hence, we should download and install an app that allows us to see the current PNR status. The best Android apps that allow us to do the same are as follows:
