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

Hello! I tried purchasing a ticket 3 times now with no luck. Once through PayPal and twice through Visa Card. I am not able to complete my purchase, haven't received a receipt and fortunately my card had been charged either. Now I was able to purchase a ticket via a ticketmachine since I had some time but if anybody is in a hurry it's difficult to explain to the conductor why a valid ticket can't be produced since your app doesn't seem to work. Looking forward to your reply!
