User Reviews

Most reviews condemn the app as a non-native wrapper around a website, plagued by slow performance, crashes, and intrusive ads. Users report loss of key functions (railcards, booked trips, live tracking) and reliability problems (white screens, repeated prompts). A few note that the content remains useful for times and planning, and that a rail discount applies during booking, but overall the experience is dominated by speed, usability, and consistency issues.

Pros

Content for live train times and journey planning remains useful when the app works.
Senior rail discount is still applied during booking (positive for some users).
Some reviewers note the app previously offered useful rail information and planning features.

Cons

Not a native app; it’s a wrapper around a mobile website, giving a browser-like experience.
Very slow performance with long load times or the app failing to load at all, including crashes.
Ad-heavy interface with intrusive pop-ups that block navigation and degrade usability.
Loss or degradation of key features (e.g., cannot add railcards, booked trips don’t appear, cannot track the current train, price info may be inconsistent when redirected).
Reliability issues include white screens, repeated prompts, and redirects calling the external site.
