Visiting Koln on holiday. Arrived at Koln hbf having purchased three tickets in advance. All showed up in my tickets. I kept an eye on the first ticket to make sure it became valid at the time of my trip. The time arrived and instead of becoming valid all 3 tickets just disappeared! Used a ticket machine instead, but later I discovered the problem. It had simply logged me out without warning. Once I signed in again the last 2 tickets reappeared. Not great if it logs you out during ticket check.

Hmpf. Kinda need the app, shame that the UI is a little clunky, crashes from time to time, and similar to praying the a train actually arrives you may equally pray that payment for your ticket goes through. eezy.nrw is imo superior and much more stable. or just get a deutschlandticket and forget about it.

I have no clue how this app can fetch data so extremely slow even on WiFi. If it weren't for buying tickets, I would instantly uninstall this app. Also, it is absolutely ridiculous that one has to enter personal data to pay when being registered while none is needed without an account. And of course, I have to retype my payment method's details again on every purchase.

Hello, unfortunately our load balancer did not optimally distribute requests from Cubic (= app developer) to our information system; that's why it has been that slow. But this has been fixed since the end of last week. You only have to register with your full data when paying by SEPA or credit card and want to save your details. Best regards, KVB
