Ratings and reviews

I'd avoid. More often than not you get into a (bot driven?) bidding war where a fisrt class upgrade costs as much as buying a first class ticket from the train provider. Secondly, it's not reliable when it does work. I just successfully bought a first class upgrade only to board the train and find no free seats available. Had to sit in coach class as a result. Their app and Web site does not make refunds easy, unlike the train providers themselves. The service doesn't really work as intended.

Won an auction but the extremely flakey card verification proces in the app failed repeatedly on four different cards that I tried, so we lost our upgrades. I have subsequently tried adding perfectly valid card details in the app but these have all failed. Having read other reviews (now) I see this is something you claim to have fixed in a recent update...well it doesn't appear to be fixed. Feeling very nervous about trusting this app with payment card details.

Obviously saw the very low review score before downloading but decided to give it a go anyway. The app actually looks great and seemingly works well when finding auctions and tickets. But then it all falls apart, it's impossible to add a payment method and the process is bugged. I can't bid on anything without adding a payment method first so all in all it's completely useless.

What's new

More improvements are here, hurray! We've been working hard on your requests, and this latest release adds loads of useful details to your auction search results, including prices, the number of watchers, and the current bid amount. There's also bug fixes (of course), and a much smoother, more reliable check out process. What do you think? Let us know and rate the app - we genuinely take all your feedback onboard.
