Ratings and reviews

I just installed the latest version today. The FAQ, the Contact Us, and several other links come up with page not found. That this is a brand new version of the app I find that unbelievably incompetent of the programmers. The only reason I downloaded the app was to get notifications as the system is changing as of July 1st. However, I cannot find any place in the Android version of the app to set up notifications. The instructions online seem to apply to iphone. That's on VRE and not the app.

Regardless of how I enter the credit card it's always rejected. This is the credit card I use everywhere. This is the credit card I use at the VRE stations. This app won't accept new style of credit cards where the numbers are not embossed on the front. The scanning of credit cards are absolutely atrocious. Hold the credit card in the correct position. Make sure to maintain it at the exact distance so all the borders are lit up. Don't move. Don't even breathe. Imagine if you had a disability.

What the heck?? You updated to an app that looks nicer but is literally unusable! Most of my selections don't actually take and it took me 4 tries to purchase one ticket and even then it didn't actually want to accept my finger print. Also, if my tickets are all the same, PLEASE make them stack. I do not need a new record for each 10 trip just because I bought them on different days! I also cannot increase the number of tickets I want any more which is unacceptable.
