User Reviews
Multiple reviews point to a country-restriction barrier: signup requires a Swedish phone number, SMS verification often doesn’t reach US numbers, and there’s no email backup. Combined with the app’s rejection of foreign cards and occasional setup crashes, the app becomes unusable for international visitors. These recurring issues dominate user feedback.
Pros
Cons
- Account signup is blocked by country-specific verification (requires a Swedish phone number)
- Verification codes/SMS do not reach users with US numbers, hindering international signups
- No backup verification method (e.g., email) leaves international users with no alternative to verify the account
- Foreign payment methods (credit cards) are not accepted, making purchases impossible for many foreigners
- App reliability issues during setup (the app can crash, buttons may be unresponsive, or refuse to start)
Recent reviews
I think y’all are too harsh on this app. Granted you must have a Swedish account to buy a ticket but I still found it very useful. I went to the UL bus terminal at the central station and bought a week long pass. Used the app to check routes and times each I needed to go somewhere. It was perfect. Times and routes were accurate. I loved the in-app map option to show you exactly where you are and where to go for your next bus. Don’t sell this app short without giving it a try. One must utilize any tool in a way to accomplish their goals and not just whine about how imperfect it is. Perhaps the real issue is outside the phone.
