## Review summary

User reviews consistently report a malfunctioning IRCTC Rail Connect iOS app with widespread signup and login problems. OTP delivery is unreliable—sent to wrong addresses, not received, or limits are reached—impeding account creation and access. Registration and Aadhaar authentication often fail, with DOB mismatches and blocking validation. The app is described as unstable, crashing frequently, and sometimes logging users out mid-task. UI/UX issues abound: disruptive alerts that block interaction and inaccessible OK buttons on iOS, plus CAPTCHA and password-reset problems. Overall, the experience is frustrating and unreliable, with poor support for fixing these issues.

### Cons

- OTP/authentication failures and delivery issues across sign-up/login (OTP not received, sent to wrong email/phone, or max OTP limit reached)
- Registration/sign-up blockers and validation errors (error messages during account creation, inability to progress, Aadhaar DOB mismatch)
- Unstable app performance with frequent crashes, server downtime, and being logged out mid-process
- UI/UX problems with alerts and popups blocking interaction and inaccessible OK button on iOS; CAPTCHA/forgot-password issues
- Difficulty updating account details and MFA issues (unable to change phone/email, 2FA problems, poor or non-responsive support)
