Ratings and reviews

This app is a tourist trap . It has hidden information to cancel your DB subscription before 10th of the month you are buying it for otherwise it will automatically charge you for the next month. Locals know about it but for the tourist it could be a sad surprise. The payment will not be returned if you missed the cancellation deadline even if you will write an email inquiry. Avoid this app and the whole DB system with its late trains and rescheduling mess .

It would be better if it had planned timetable for day as well as night transport for every direction, if you would add map with lines would be also very useful, map itself is good.

Since 9 November it stopped working and even does not open on my mobile phone anymore. The Android shows a message saying that the application has a bug. I tried on another device and it has the same problem. Re-installing resolved the problem, but I can't see my D-ticket anymore.
