Ratings and reviews

Another of the useless public transport apps of Barcelona, what this app does is like extracting data from a fixed schedule or pdf and nothing else. Does not show the stops between the start and ending point, does not show the current status of the train or the platform number or the amount of delays or anything. Needless to say you have to put a lot of effort to find these functionalities in the app, but still of no use. This app might as well be renamed into a somewhat pdf data extractor.

It's a useful app, a bit quirky to use BUT SOMETIMES INFURIATING! For example the repeated messages on the alert service, I received somewhere between 50 and 100 messages about the same issue. Long after the problem was solved. Quirky because of little things like: Why not default to SEARCH when entering a station in the itinerary section rather than a separate function? No details available on the trains, basic info such as which stations they stop at en route would be handy.

For the use I give it, it's perfect. I'm a student who takes the train on the daily, sometimes at different times, and with this app I can set my usual route or routes as favourites and quickly check the related timetables for the day, which really helps plan my routine concisely. It is also worth mentioning that it takes into account changes in the service, without which I'd be lost sometimes. I don't use many of its other features but I don't need them either.
