Ratings and reviews

Buying a ticket requires more steps than before the new version. Click on starting point doesn't offer the closest station, you have to click the icon additionally. The default number of tickets to buy is 0, means I have to select 1 every time. It would be nice if I could pick the homescreen since I don't need the map but tickets to buy...too many clicks and unnecessary steps,pls consider this as a feature request, ty

I'm sorry to say this, but using your app has become a major pain. I want to use it to get real time info on future rides. The map and the automatic location reading is just getting in the way. Please make it possible to favourite entire routes again instead of the one-sided location to destination searches. You are optimising the whole program for a niche group, and not the actual Berliners.

Update 10.2024: The best way to fix their annoying location integration and slow search is to remove the location permission from the app. This way you don't have to wait for the lookup and you can enter the start location as before. General: App is barely usable since the update. The map overlay is useless and the location lookup for every search makes the app slow and almost useless. The product development seems to ignore all user experience for meaningless features.

What's new

Bug fixes and improvements (e.g. calendar interaction, map display, ticket purchase with landscape mode, company data field). Payment profile extension. Support for Android 10/SDK29 (note: no more security updates from Google since 03/2023).
