User Reviews

Most reviews acknowledge basic functionality (finding stops and timetables) and some smooth operation, but a large number fault the latest redesign for poor UX, the loss of the widget, ticketing/ID problems, location-permission prompts, and reliability/data-loss issues after updates.
Pros
  • Core functionality to locate bus stops and view timetables is working for many users.
  • App can run smoothly and is usable for some users.
  • Timings are generally accurate according to reviewer feedback.
Cons
  • Poor UX/UI after redesign leading to a cluttered interface and many extra taps.
  • Widget removal eliminates a key quick-check feature.
  • Ticketing/Deutschlandticket issues including ID verification, login, and QR not shown.
  • Frequent location-permission prompts and privacy concerns.
  • Data loss after updates and reliability problems (data/favorites wiped, wrong connections).

Often, I have to log in every few days when I open the app. That's very inconvenient, especially when they control my ticket and I have to find my credential to log in to show them my DE ticket subscription.

Jedes Mal (!) wenn ein Update installiert wird "vergisst" diese App meine Login Daten. Das ist extrem nervig, besonders dann wenn man kurz vor Fahrtantritt ein Ticket kaufen will. Wenn man die App startet gibt es keinerlei Hinweis ob man eingeloggt ist oder nicht. Erst beim Ticket-Kaufabschluss erfährt man das.

Nach Update funktioniert nichts mehr. App Entwickler bracht einen neuen Job.
