Ratings and reviews

If your name contains accented characters forget about this app, it does not allow you to enter accented characters and the scanning feature strips all the accents away. Update: although after scanning the name fields are indeed editable you cannot enter accented characters into them. UPDATE 2: It is not possible to "report a bug" as suggested by the support because this function calls out an email client and the address field is not populated.

It used to work, albeit a bit slow and unresponsive. Now it's Appallingly slow. Created a booking three times. Each time it went to a blank screen after completing the selection process. After 3 minutes I hit the only button (to go back = Start again). Took 17 attempts (YES, SEVENTEEN) to get the return date to stay on screen long enough to select the journey time (it kept switching to a day or days earlier or later). Had to give up until I could phone someone (like in the nineteenth century!!!)

Could not use. I was offered this app in the email instead of filling in the passenger form, they said i could scan my passport. I could not add my booking, they asked for unit id and release number, but not booking reference. It is very confusing, so at the end i used the traditional form. I haven't explored what else the app can do, i am sure there are useful things but not for what i needed.
