User Reviews

User reviews praise the app for being easy to use with a clean, clutter-free UI. However, the most-mentioned drawbacks are reliability and performance problems (crashes, slow loads), contentious payment terms (subscription or convenience fees), account and data transfer issues across devices, and UI accessibility quirks on newer phones. Customer support and refund handling are also criticized. Overall, usability is good, but reliability, payment model, and account-management flaws dominate the feedback.
Pros
  • Easy to use / simple to navigate
  • Clean UI with minimal clutter
  • App is perceived as pretty cool / visually appealing
Cons
  • Frequent crashes, long load times, and stalls requiring force-quitting
  • Mandatory subscription or convenience fees / confusing payment flow
  • Account management problems: province selection limits, login failures, and passes not transferring across devices
  • UI accessibility issues on modern devices: settings/menu button hidden by status bar / clock
  • Poor customer support and refund handling / slow responses
