Ratings and reviews

Always losing my selections. I'm traveling with my family and I'm constantly having to add the travelers back in, and change age, type in ages, when looking for new routes. Every other travel app I use remembers this by default from my last search. Also when I look for a different route while in the same app session, it won't display prices. When you then select to book or check prices, it reverts back to a previous search criteria that I had moved on from. So frustrating.

I almost didn't download this app because the recent reviews were so terrible, but it seems to work fine for me. Bought a ticket, not too hard. Took a US Visa card no problem. Does seem a bit bloated (100mb), and time wasting intro and "let's take a tour of the app" animations -- more traditional and simple would be better for a train app -- but overall it fulfilled its function without undue hassle.

Purchased a metro ticket: I had to install a series of different apps, needed to create user accounts with all kinds of intransparent services, and was asked to upload my photo for validation... All of this with the result that the ticket has been paid but vanished from my phone. In the end, I purchased my metro tickets at a machine using cash and will continue to do so. That was more efficient and took less time than trying to figure out this app.
