Ratings and reviews

The Play store really needs to consider giving us the ability to rate POS apps like this one 0 stars. The app ate the info for both my physical & digital cards, and when I try to add them back, the Add Card page just... doesn't load. Ever. It's insane that a company that's being added to EVERY major transit system in the Bay Area doesn't have a functioning app OR website. What a farce.

It does not display my correct current balance on the card. I can't do any account maintenance, most clicks just give me blank pages. Since installing the app, the scanners - on any bus, at BART - never display the charge/refund for my rides. And they never told us that we had to have a separate Google app to actually use the phone to pay, which is not linked to the regular Clipper Card account.

this app was mildly ok, until the last few weeks. It hasn't updated at all. I just tried uninstall/reinstalling it & now I can't log into my account. The app was mostly good for finding bus schedules **Edit** I feel like you have to reinstall it ~6 months to keep it working somewhat well. Even then I find I have to depend on the website to buy my bus pass or check my card balance.
