Ratings and reviews

The new app is is incredibly unwieldy and overcomplicates everything by making you trawl through dozens of menus and options to book even the simplest tickets. I have just booked a Bayernticket, and it took ages compared to the old app. There also seems to be no way of getting out of a booking process once started. Very frustrating, counter-intuitive and time-wasting.

An earlier version of my review stated that this "new" app was incomplete. Updates in the past weeks have seemingly(?) matched the features to the previous "old" app, but I stand by my opinion that the app is not well polished. Many of the animations with the new pull-up sheets for tickets/upcoming journeys still feel clunky. The updates have still failed to address a bug with Android 14 "predictive back animations" so the app crashes when trying to use them from the Reisedetails/trip info page.

This app is a must-have! I used it more than a dozen times during our 3-week trip to several German cities. I was able to purchase tickets rather than fussing with a machine, and to easily check updated arrival times, platforms, and seats. I see the negative reviews about difficulty in purchasing tickets but did not have that experience. My credit card information was stored the first time I used it and retrievable every subsequent time. It isn't just for the Inter-City and Regional trains -- it's also for the S-bahns as well. Ticket options are explained in English as well as German (perhaps other languages too?), so it was a snap to tell that for example an S-bahn group day ticket in Munich would save my wife and I money in spite of the ticket allowing up to 5 adults to commute together. We also used the "reserve seats" feature whenever we traveled on busier trains (especially Fridays) as we had luggage and could not go car-to-car searching for seats. The tickets are stored in the app for easy retrieval, and there is a "Komfort" check-in feature so you don't have to show your ticket to the conductor. Here's the real test of its usefulness: it will even tell you where to stand on the platform to be aligned with your car -- very useful for reserved seats when you have luggage. It was especially useful when one of our trains was canceled (while we were on the platform) and I could tell exactly what my options were. There are a number of options you can invoke so be sure to play with the app to find all it can do for you. Highly recommend!!!
