Ratings and reviews

UI could definitely benefit from improvement, but it's usable. Would be nice for a setting to have the app open in English without having to manually toggle it every time you use it. I would give it 2 stars for the online ticket purchases, however, since the server seems to be down a majority of the time I need to buy a ticket, so I just buy physical tickets now. But, it's probably the fault of Handyticket, so I'm not faulting DVB on this. Though maybe you guys should talk to them about this.

All I wanted was to buy a single tram ticket. I was presented with a registration form asking for my gender, name, birthday, address, phone and god knows what else. I don't want to type all my personal data to a transit app with freezing fingers on my phone as I'm standing at a tram stop. Please add a simple login option if you must have it, like a email/password, or Google/Facebook login. Or better yet, allow people to buy a ticket without registration.

It lacks basic features like saving a route for easy retrieval. You can favorite stops, but not routes. Most people look up the same stops everyday to check for delays, it would be good to have a widget that displays only one or two stops. If a widget is too much work, a view in the app that stores your favorites and always displays them would do as well.

What's new

This version fixes some bugs in the backend, including the ability to save connections in the calendar again. The purchase of the 4-card via PayPal has been deactivated for the time being.
