Ratings and reviews

Seems design is based on iPhone first? Some more red and green helpers to help navigation would be nice. For example when trying to activate a multi charge ticket it won't tell you why it cannot be activated. It is missing an origin station to be selected and also a number of charges. Then you can tap activate. But before then you can't and you don't know why. You only seem to use yellow and black as colours! You can definitely use green and red for feedback!

Used to be a great app, but suddenly it won't show me certain busses (like the M1 tram replacement) and suggests I walk instead. Sometimes it just gives up and declares there's no trip possible at all??? Went back to use the browser route planner. Which is annoying. Hope this glitch gets fixed asap

I tried buying a 7-day ticket. It said there was an error charging my card. Then I tried again. It said the same again. But then I check 5 minutes later, and money is charged twice and I have two identical tickets! How can I refund the second same ticket? UPDATE: support was quick to respond and refund. So I'm increasing to 4 stars. I appreciate the work.
