Ratings and reviews

the update made things worse. I can't log in to my account. I ended up missing my train to go to work.Every time I try to log in, I keep getting an error message. Update: after trying several times to log in, now I get a message saying that my password and email don't match existing records. I'm using the same email address a.d password I've used to log-in. I tried calling customer support, but they told me they couldn't do anything at the moment because of the upda and to just call back later.

It works... but also doesn't. My card functions. I can use it. BUT, the app fails to do anything else. The app just doesn't work. Want to change your profile? Fails to load. Want to see where clipper retail locations are? Fails to load. Trip planner... fail. I once needed to change my payment method and the app lost its mind. I had to use my PC and access my account via the browser. As long as I can pay for rides, it gets one star, but this app is still trash.

Having the clipper card on the phone helps alot,however it is sometimes problematic. The card,or reader is not always working together,I have tagged off with the signal it has been only to see it didn't register correctly. A few days ago it did it again,and a reading error code appeared on the terminal,I think I was charged the full amount instead of getting the correct fare. I still don't why the card has to be disabled once activated in a digital wallet app. Bad decision!‐
