User Reviews

Most reviews complain about speed, unreliability, and poor usability. Users report long load times, frequent failures when loading balances or reloading cards, and inconsistent information such as schedules or balance. The UI is often described as unfriendly and login is cumbersome. A small portion praises the design or efficiency when it functions, but persistent issues dominate.

Pros

Looks good and well-designed UI.
Efficient when it works (some users report).
A few users express positive sentiment and say they are impressed.

Cons

Very slow and slow-loading app with long response times.
Unreliable: transactions often fail and card reloads don’t work.
Cumbersome/unfriendly UI and difficult login flow.
Information and scheduling data not loading or inaccurate (time/balance).
Cannot add products to cart or complete purchases due to UI issues.

This app is exceptionally bad. Takes extremely long to load and updates on the app doesn't happen in real time. At the train stations you et encouraged to download the app if you have a smart phone, "for people on the move".... that definitely not the case. Yet the information you need from the train station kiosks.
