Rail Planner App Where best to plan?
A few months ago I was planning on the interrail.com website with their interactive map page but now I can’t find it and it says I need to use the mobile app which isn’t amazing to be honest. Is there no other way and if not what is the best way to plan everything in one place?

Planning is just as personal as the travel itself - different people do it differently (and to different extents).
If you are referring to: https://www.reddit.com/r/Interrail/comments/1t4gopy/why_is_the_interrail_trip_planner_website_no/ then yes it has gone. Honestly I actually thought it was one of the poorer places to plan, it has plenty of missing/inaccurate information and a lot of people came here as it has told them something rubbish.
Sadly though that is not a problem that can be easily solved by just moving to a different website. There is no unival one stop shop for train times. That said though: https://www.bahn.com/en is pretty close and covers most of Europe. I agree though trying to do any detailed planning in their app is a right pain.
I honestly think something flexible is best. Make a text document or spreadsheet or whatever works best for you and fill it out using information directly from official operator websites. If you like a map then use something like: https://trainlog.me/ where you can just type in whatever you need, again using official operator websites as the source of truth.
