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

Require me to turn off phone features for full use My phone has a feature that's turned on automatically called gesture navigation (can use swipes to go back, get to home instead of buttons). The developers haven't updated their app and the menu button sits behind my status bar, making it unusable. Their "solution" is to turn off gesture navigation so I can swipe to access the menu. UNNACCEPTABLE. I should not be required to change standard features on my phone for bad app design.
