User Reviews

BudapestGO offers convenient digital tickets on a phone and planning aids, but reliability varies. Recurrent problems include payment failures, verification and login issues, offline/underground limitations, inspector fines and scam concerns, and slow performance. The app’s usefulness depends on location and network quality, with significant risk of payment/validation problems for many users.
Pros
  • Digital tickets on the phone with convenient payments (card payments and some Apple Pay usage).
  • Useful planning aids and, when working, real-time transit information.
  • Possibility of cost-effective long-term passes (e.g., 15-day pass) for longer trips.
Cons
  • Payment processing failures and incorrect charges (e.g., large card charges and repeated errors).
  • Registration/verification issues (verification emails not received, login problems).
  • Poor offline/underground usability (must have data connection; QR validation can fail below ground).
  • Reports of inspectors demanding cash fines and perceived scam behavior, causing tourist anxiety and confusion.
  • General performance and UI glitches (slow loads, design issues, unstable behavior).

How about you go travel before building this app for a country. London, Athens, Chicago pretty much anywhere is simpler than this. Shouldn’t take 15 min to buy a pass. Just accept Apple Pay scan. Or make the app simple

The app is generally reasonably well designed and functional, but the supreme annoyance is that whenever you open the app to show your ticket, it can take anywhere from 10 seconds to several minutes before the splash screen goes away and your pass/ticket barcode displays or other functions are available. There are comments on Reddit saying that every time the app is opened, it has to download all of the routing and transit vehicle data (real-time locations, etc.) before the app can proceed. If that is the case, then that speaks to an absolutely terrible design and implementation. Tens if not hundreds of thousands of people use this app every day, and downloading tons of data every time every app is opened is a crushing load of demand on the transit agency’s servers. No wonder it can’t keep up. That type of data should either be cached or lazy loading in the background should be utilized. Forcing queues to get on the buses or lines at the elevators into Metro stations to be held because hundreds of people can’t get the app to load their tickets is a terrible design, and I have seen it happen every day that I have been in Hungary.
