Ratings and reviews

The new update is pointless change for the sake of change. The app was fine, but now the search tab takes you to an unintuitive "favourites" style page but the information is tiny as half the page is taken up by an advert. Clicking anywhere other than the tiny "view more trains" text just takes you to a page trying to get you to buy a ticket or a holiday. Just unfriendly UI, clearly designed for advertising, takes far longer to just get to the old search page showing all the info. Pure greed.

If I SPECIFY a city+substation, I don't want other stations in results. This comes up often & it's a service failure AFAIC. Nice-Riquier is not Nice-Ville. If I specify Riquier, I know what I'm doing & don't want my results cluttered with other stations + want to eliminate accidental NON-REFUNDABLE buys from incorrect stations. Second, I've twice now had an inspector waiting for the app to deliver a QR code ticket because of delivery times after purchase. That needs to resolve in <10sec.

What have you do e to this App. It used to be simple to use now you've made it guess work as the train you think you've booked doesn't pull through and ends up near enough being the same time as your return train which isn't what was wanted. Seat booking has given 2 seats in different carriages on the outbound and any between 8 seat numbers on the return. Days are numbered using this, doesn't default to the search page on opening instead wants to give me some random journey elsewhere.
