SBB Preview is an app by Schweizerische Bundesbahnen SBB in the Maps & Navigation category, listed since at least May 2016. It includes native code only for x86 32-bit and ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.
It asks for 17 permissions, 6 of them sensitive, including precise location, camera and record audio.
