Ratings and reviews

It gets the job done, but it's nowhere near as good as it could be. The app should have native alerts, schedules, and realtime train locations. Additionally, I'd love to have a home screen widget that has my active ticket, so I wouldn't have to keep the app open while on the train or scanning at north station. Also, why link to the transit app? If that data is available, why not build that in natively? This app could be amazing, but is lacking a lot of native features to really excel

*Edit* - Seems there's a new 2024 feature wherein if you activate your flexpass, then close the app, then bring it back up, it does NOT default to your active ticket on the main screen. I assume they are now trying to trick people into activating an extra ticket on the return trip. The "Alerts" button should be on the app's homepage given that the trains are delayed all the time. Instead, you have to click on a tiny thing in the upper right hand corner and then select from a utilities list.

It's certainly better than having to use a kiosk and printint out a paper ticket 🤷 You pick your origin and destination, the app lists all the price options for the specified trip and let's you purchase the appropriate ticket. It even lets you buy the Cape Flyer or Weekend Pass if you prefer. Conductors then scan activated ticket bar codes on the train.
