User Reviews

User reviews overwhelmingly criticize Presto for being region-locked to Canada, lacking reliable digital wallet support, and performing poorly with frequent login, load, and refund issues. Many users report slow loading, crashes, and compatibility problems on older iPhones. Several reviews describe poor visitor experience and misinformation about transit compatibility. A minority note that the app is time-saving or enjoyable when it functions, but that positive feedback is rare and often short-lived.
Pros
  • Time-saving and convenient when the app works.
  • Some users report enjoying using the app.
Cons
  • Requires a Canadian address/region to sign up; non-Canadians and visitors cannot use the app.
  • No reliable option to add Presto cards to Apple Wallet/Apple Pay; digital card support is limited or blocked.
  • Sign-up/login is prone to errors, and the app is slow and buggy, especially on older devices.
  • Loading funds can fail (credit card transactions declined) and refunds are slow and may incur a fee.
  • Visitor usability is poor and transit integration is inconsistent with Toronto expectations.
Recent reviews
The app continues to glitch out and not progressing. WiFi and cellular strong.

Can’t buy day pass, only month pass or single-ride. Asks to create PRESTO account, but that’s not possible if you don’t have Canadian address and phone number. Would be awesome for tourists, to explore Toronto on foot and by public transit. But with that app impossible! Better to buy day passes at subway station - if you’re lucky enough to have accommodations close to one! 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😵‍💫
