Ratings and reviews

Makes me log repeatedly.... Does not seem to let Google store the password, And does not work with PayPal properly makes me log in to PayPal every time I purchase a ticket, this seems to happen a bit less now but for the love of God add a purchase last ticket option! It's a pain to go through all the menus. A buy last ticket list would really help!

Useful for checking train times and sometimes buying tickets with no extra charge. However it does occasionally stop you from buying tickets for seemingly no reason, at which point I have to use another app or a ticket machine, which is not ideal if in a rush. In the last update (4.42.0) there aren't any platform numbers displayed, so checking times on it isn't much use on stations with more than two platforms, but this is only very recent so I hope this will be fixed quite quickly.

This app has improved compared to 2-3 years ago but it's still pretty bad and it doesn't work from abroad or with a foreign SIM, meaning I can't book train tickets while travelling abroad.
