Our verdict
IRCTC Rail Connect is the official IRCTC app for searching trains, checking seat availability, booking and cancelling reserved tickets and managing your IRCTC account. Recent versions add biometric login and an all-class availability view. Many 'IRCTC' apps on the stores are travel agents or fakes — the real one is by 'IRCTC Official' on Google Play and by IRCTC on the App Store.
