User Reviews

Users broadly praise the South Shore for a convenient, affordable Chicago-bound option and find the app useful when the schedule works. However, the major pain points are the new schedule UI (clunky, slow, and hard to use), lack of Apple Pay/online payments, and recurring reliability issues (delays/crowding). Delay updates are hard to locate, and the app can be slow or unstable at times. The most mentioned themes are the schedule UI overhaul, payment limitations, and train reliability challenges.

Pros

Provides a convenient, affordable rail link to Chicago from Indiana, with trains roughly every couple hours.
The app is generally useful and easy to use when the schedule functions properly.
Some users perceive improvements to the experience as positive.

Cons

The new schedule UI/trip planner is clunky, slow, and hard to use; it replaces a quick schedule overview and often requires entering origin/destination each time.
Apple Pay is not supported and online ticket payments are not available.
Trains are frequently delayed, crowded, or skip stops, raising reliability concerns.
Delay/status updates are hard to find in the app and not prominently displayed.
Occasional performance issues (slow loading, spinner that doesn’t disappear, and unusable state)

Recent reviews

When the app was updated to include the Monon corridor, the schedule became harder to read and use. The app no longer remembers selections or scrolls to the relevant times.

It always freezes and the schedule is hard to look at? It’s not appealing at all. I truly hate it

The recent upgrade essentially renders the app useless. You have to buy round trip tickets before you can see the return trip schedule. It’s worse than Amtrak and that’s not saying much.
