User Reviews

Overall, SBB Preview is praised for providing useful, accurate travel information and a generally reliable, personalized experience across languages. However, multiple reviews flag recurring usability and reliability issues: login problems where users can’t stay signed in or don’t receive codes, intrusive privacy/ad banners and policy confusion, and geolocation problems such as slow location fetches and location-missing notices in timetables. Some also note missing features compared with the standard app. The app remains helpful for planning and travel, but these recurring issues affect core usability and should be addressed to improve user satisfaction.

Pros

Useful, accurate travel information and easy to use.
Generally reliable and useful for frequent travelers.
Personalized experience and language support improvements.

Cons

Login/sign-in issues: cannot stay logged in or receive login codes.
Intrusive privacy/privacy banners and ads; cookie popups and policy confusion.
Location/geolocation problems: slow location fetch and location-missing notices in timetables.

Diese App spioniert ständig aus wo hin man geht und was man macht. Schön und gut. Aber nur Daten die nicht vorhanden sind sind Sicher.

App opens and the first I can see is some ugly placed Temu ad... Quick sanity check in the regular SBB app if this was there already before, no it isn't. So why are those taking time to test your new functions being punished for their help? Feel free to place ads in your apps, the moment when it's not necessary to pay for the yearly half tax subscription, so public transportation can even be considered to be an option... EDIT: Nope, the option to disable ads as explained doesn't exist!

The new requirement for Bluetooth to be turned on makes the app unusable, because it burns through my phone's battery. It's unsustainable. Before the requirement for bluetooth was added it was a good app.
