Ratings and reviews

Horrible and unnecessarily long verification process. Overkill. And when I tried to sign in it said my account doesn't exist so I had to start all over. Totally cumbersome! When you actually DO get logged in, be prepared to enter your login info at every turn. I can even select a train station without being sent back to the login screen. Not sure wo approved this horrible app or who the crappy team behind it is, but they really botched what should be a pretty simple app.

I've had no problem buying tickets, but the fact that schedules are not included in the app is just boneheaded!

The app works fine but when your in a rush its not the easiest to use. It would be a lot easier and faster if instead of searching destination times you could just say "I need a train from point A to point B" and get an list quickly with times for that day. If you're in no rush the app is fine.
