Ratings and reviews

Very glitchy and cooperates with payment options intermittently. One would expect that if the ticket vending machines are poorly organized the app might be a better. The app is just as confusing. The makers for both the app and the ticket vending machines should look at models of other companies which provide a better flow for purchasing tickets. Registration these days via 3rd party provider (Google/Facebook) and payment options (GPay) should be preferred over spinning your own.

Very poor. The app says the Deutsche Ticket will be updated every month automatically. This doesn't happen, old expired ticket is shown. Got a penalty today because of it. Have to spend time and go to customer service to solve this.

Its a better app than the ones it replaced because it gives a realtime train locstion map. Unfortunately, it still suffers from the fact that it doesn't provide any valuable information as to why a stop is closed or why the train isn't running. I have to go to two different sites to discover the possible cause for cancellations and the most i can ever find is a generic message. There needs to be more realtime messaging in the app as well as for favorite routes.
