We need an app- here you go

This app is a piece of junk. Takes space on your phone. No value. Does nothing.

Hopeless

This does nothing that you can't do better already. Less. It doesn't give you timetables, which you can find online in a browser. It sends you to your browser for the trip planner. It tells you where train stations are, just like your maps app, but a maps app will also tell you how to get there from where you are, and everything else that's around it. It will tell you how to report broken fittings and equipment, though. Such as this app. Downloaded and deleted again within minutes.

What a 'derailment' of an app.

After not providing even enough data on your free in train wi-fi to download this app, I am sorely disappointed.

I grew up in Brisbane, using the trains, but am now an infrequent visitor and even less frequent user of the rail service.

This app, for a visitor, was utterly useless. It linked me back to a website (translink) that I had already found and used.

Seriously? When the first icon / menu item is "Report maintenance"... ?

Absolute Rubbish!!!!

WHY can't you just copy SYDNEY'S "Trip View"??? It is EVERYTHING your app needs!!!!!!

Rubbish

Journey planner takes you to a website that doesn't function on a mobile device. Won't pick up location and errors out because of it.

No journey planner in app

Without it, this is basically useless for 90% of what people want it for. Considering your API has access to live trip data, the fact this app opens the journey planner in safari (where it runs terribly, I should add), this is the quickest uninstall I've ever done. As usual, QR is terrible.

Looks nice, limited functionality

Much better looking than TransLink app but journey planner makes you open a separate app/browser... that's the main purpose of the app?? Kind of pointless

Doesn't value add

Links off to Translink journey planner. Does value add very much on top.

This is certainly no New York subway app. Which is a real shame. Could have been good if they were serious about understanding and improving their user experience.

Instead it's a senior manager's KPI tick in a box. Mobile app? Tick!

Limited but useful

While this app has limited functionality, the free TripGo app works fantastic for trip planning and not limited to QLD, and it lets you export the trip to your calendar. A network map would be handy in the QR app but reporting lost property is easy via app and station info is useful.

The app does what now?

Lost property, maintenance and station finder... these are the things we truly need in a QR app... oh yeah the actual timetables would be nice for 99.9% of people who haven't lost something, already know where their station is, and aren't in the habit of ordering bogie replacements for their local train. But what the hey, lets link to a crappy website for that instead of using open exchange data for transport natively in an app built by a government owned 'smart state' corporate who spends millions on signals that don't work... bravo QR... bravo
