## Review summary

The app is praised for its clean design and decent trip planning, but it suffers from serious reliability and data problems. Recurrent issues include NFC interfering with ticket display, frequent timeouts and crashes, delays not updating or surfacing disruptions, and ticket/pass loading and balance problems. QR code loading is slow and scanning unreliable, and several requested features are missing. Overall, planning is functional, but ticket handling and live updates are consistently frustrating for many users.

### Pros

- Easy-to-use design and user-friendly interface
- Good trip planner / travel planning features
- Real-time tracking in map view (live updates)

### Cons

- NFC interference: app does not disable NFC while showing tickets, causing interruptions/backgrounding
- Frequent reliability problems: timeouts, errors, and crashes; ticket purchasing and loading often fail
- Delays and disruptions not updated or surfaced: information not reflecting reality
- Ticket/passes loading and balance issues: passes fail to load, purchase history disappears, tickets become unusable
- QR code loading and scanning issues: slow QR loading and unreliable scanners (some reads trigger NFC)
