This app works fine… until you actually need it. As long as trains run normally, it’s okay—but that’s exactly the problem. During disruptions, platform info doesn’t match the station, routes become unreliable, and updates come too late. I’ve missed multiple alternatives and ended up waiting hours longer than necessary. It doesn’t help in chaos—it reports it after the fact.

The app needs some work... When trying to buy other products like the flex season ticket, it always gets stuck during the payment process, your money gets taken but there is no ticket or the payment does not go through, so I have to manually buy tickets everyday to go to work. It's so annoying and frustrating that this app is not given proper maintenance. No wonder the app rating is so low. It's not reliable.

Simply doesn't work. After setting up an account, return later to buy a ticket, click the Login button, nothing happens. Day after day. Uninstall. Their website works perfectly with my account, Login, purchase, receive digital ticket, done.
