★★☆☆☆ Works 50% of the time
Website is a total nightmare, so not a good backup. I’ll look for other apps to buy train tickets. It’s not supposed to be as hard as this.…
★★★☆☆ Not great for buying tickets
No charge for buying tickets, but they take so long to appear in the app. At least an email with a pdf version arrives fairly promptly so it can be scanned. And why can’t I add my tickets to my Apple Wallet?…
Top negative
★☆☆☆☆ Update on March 26 made app unusable
After update, I cannot sign into the app. Changed password online and still cannot sign in. Also, the update online made prior ticket purchase disappear.…
★☆☆☆☆ Glitchiest app I’ve ever used
Works at most half the time. Issues errors over vague technical difficulties…

🌍Geographic ReachNot ranked
This app is currently outside the top 100 grossing in all 9 countries we monitor (US, UK, DE, FR, JP, CA, AU, BR, IN). Niche or new apps often launch this way — popularity rankings appear once daily revenue clears the regional threshold.
Profile is built from iTunes Lookup + developer site scrape + ML revenue model. Empty fields show "Not found" — additional sources (Crunchbase, X, IndieHackers, Acquire.com) coming.
