## Review summary

Most reviews praise BVG Tickets for being easy to use and work well when it functions, with positive comments about BVG service. However, recurring problems dominate: payment failures (Apple Pay/cards), slow or intrusive location features, tickets not appearing or QR codes missing, and general reliability issues (crashes, errors, timeouts). These recurring cons severely impact the user experience and could lead to fines or abandoned use.

### Pros

- Easy to use and intuitive interface.
- Generally smooth operation when functioning as intended.
- Positive sentiment toward BVG service and the app (e.g., praise and thanks).

### Cons

- Payment issues: inability to add payment options and frequent Apple Pay / card errors preventing purchases.
- Location/geolocation problems: slow, stuck loading, or unnecessary tracking causing delays.
- Ticket generation/validation failures: tickets not appearing after purchase or QR codes missing/not generated, making validation impossible.
- App reliability problems: errors during use, slow loading, crashes, and login/token issues.
