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

More often than not, trying to pull up the schedules you’ll be met with a “load failed” message. I end up having to go on the website to check the schedule. It used to work great. Now, not so much.

App works Great. Just wish Apple Pay was Option. Just would simplify purchase of tickets.

The new update to the schedule page is a very clunky web-embedded interface that is vastly inferior to the previous version. In fact, it does not even load at all for me, just providing errors.
