Ratings and reviews

This app used to be good but it is now broken. The QR code is 3mm^2 and unscalable so cannot be scanned. This issue happened before, was fixed and now it's back. The other main gripe I have is more policy. When you purchased a 7 day ticket previously you actually got a full 7 days, now it cuts off at 3am on the 7th day of activation so it's really a 6½ day pass. Additionally the £1 saving for using the app is gone so there's no reason to opt for the app over paying the driver any more. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Decent enough app, but strange route numbers (5a, 5b etc) which is confusing (it wasn't rocket science to work out that the three different 11 services on different routes to Lytham was obviously never going to work). Awful dull grey colour scheme - why a different colour to the trams? And uncomfortable rattly buses. Why are seats more uncomfortable now than they were when I worked for the company 40 years ago? At least they haven't blown millions in taxpayer money on Chinese electric buses.

App is quite good and easy to use. The pricing of tickets needs to be looked at by Blackpool transport. When it is cheaper to pay cash to buy a single ticket, than buy a ticket using the app, there is no incentive to use the app...edit 19/03/26, if I'm going from Cleveleys to Fleetwood or Blackpool, with a friend, it is cheaper to get an Uber
