User Reviews

The Helsinki HSL app is praised for its navigation and city-wide route-finding capabilities, but is overwhelmed by international SMS verification failures that block account creation and ticket purchases. Recurring glitches, unresponsiveness on mobile data, and loops in verification further degrade usability. Tourists face additional friction due to regional restrictions and limited payment options for certain features like bike sharing. Support responsiveness is also a common pain point, leaving users stuck and often needing workarounds or reinstallations.

Pros

Strong route planning/navigation for Helsinki, helping users find routes and navigate the city.
The app concept and in-app transit focus are appreciated by travelers when it works, offering a streamlined transit experience.

Cons

SMS/phone number verification fails for international numbers (including US numbers), preventing account creation and ticket purchase.
Verification SMS looping or non-delivery blocks core functionality (cannot verify, cannot buy tickets, app locks or becomes unusable).
Frequent glitches and instability (e.g., delays loading tickets after charges, app unresponsive on mobile data, endless verification loops).
Limited accessibility for tourists due to regional restrictions (IP blocks) and payment method limitations, impacting bike-sharing and other features.
Customer support and remediation appear slow or unhelpful, with unresolved issues and workarounds requiring reinstall or risky workarounds.

Recent reviews

To purchase monthly or package tickets you need to create an account. To create an account it sends you an sms to verify your phone number. FOREIGN PHONE NUMBERS WON’T WORK. Once you attempted to create an account, the app is locked and you can’t even purchase a single ticket as a guest. You need to delete the app and download it again. Contacting support from the app doesn’t work. Search sales locations that sell physical cards ( at $5!) doesn’t work. Didn’t expect that from a major European capital city
