Ratings and reviews

Please don't download it if you are a foreigner/tourist and doesn't have a Chinese ID. it is frustrating to even sign up and doesn't support on my android phone.

Very, very difficult for foreigners to get their identity verified online, which is a must before you could buy tickets. The app and website keeps prompting the system is busy, try again later everytime you try to submit your photos. Tried multiple times, different platforms, in English, in Mandarin. Nothing works. Why can't they just make things easier for everybody? Too many barriers makes everything inefficient.

Always networks busy!! Cannot upload passport to verification! Please improve App
