User Reviews

Reviews are overwhelmingly negative. The top recurring issues are: frequent sign-ins and being logged out; crashes and instability; payments charged but tickets not issued or no fares found; live times/route data failing to load; and the app forgetting saved stations or journeys. A few users recall it used to work, but most report ongoing problems, especially around travel near barriers and at peak times. Overall reliability is poor, with little evidence of consistent positives across multiple reviews.

Pros

No consistent positives reported across multiple reviews.

Cons

Frequent sign-ins and being logged out, often after closing the app or shortly after use.
Crashes and instability: the app crashes or closes unexpectedly.
Payments charged but tickets not issued or no fares found/not available.
Live timetable data and journey times fail to load or aren't shown.
App forgets saved stations or journeys, hindering rebooking and gate entries.
