User Reviews

Users find FahrPlaner useful and easy to use with reliable schedules and a good-looking UI, and some can buy tickets in-app. However, multiple reviews report stability problems (crashes/hangs), a confusing redesign that complicates navigation, a time-format bug, and issues with the location button and in-route ticket purchasing. Overall, the app is valuable but unstable and UX-fragile in its current state.
Pros
  • Easy and convenient to use.
  • Reliable and accurate departure/arrival itineraries.
  • Visually appealing, polished UI.
  • Supports in-app ticket purchases and cross-border card payments.
Cons
  • Instability: crashes and hangs, including after updates and when using nearby stops.
  • Redesigned UI/UX makes navigation confusing and station selection error-prone.
  • Time display bug: 12-hour vs 24-hour clock leads to incorrect timetables.
  • Current location button often doesn't work correctly.
  • Ticket purchasing flow is not consistently accessible from the route view (missing/limited in some cases).
