垃圾中的战斗机

对多款手机未进行适配，比如iPhone air。反馈后依然死猪不怕开水烫，几个月也不更新，功能做的一塌糊涂，还要多次各种宣传口径劝导用户不要使用第三方平台购票，但是你12306又无法满足功能需求。
小小而美？

Yahooメール以外全滅

Gmail、iCloud、Outlookは鉄路12306のメールは受信できなかったので要注意。

购票方便，英汉双标

购票方便，候选比自己刷新页面出票方便多了，还能攒积分兑换车票。
英汉双标，切换英文语言无广告，简洁，用回中文语言后，跟哪些民企开发的国民级应用差不多，该有的广告，大头横幅，启动屏……都有，属于是上行下效了，哈哈哈哈哈
就就是一直在
