  • Terrible app

    This app is the worst. Entirely dependent on web connection after purchase, can't show your tickets if without signal. I ended up having to buy a second ticket as a result of this. No idea what brainless monkey has come up with this garbage. Layout and functionality are atrocious, too.
  • Can't buy tickets from US mobile phone?

    App seems great for planning and the idea of being able to buy mobile tickets is great. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with a US mobile phone. I set up an account but am unable to retrieve the PIN despite multiple tries. There doesn't seem to be any email support either, only a German phone number. I think I can manually enter my credit card but I apparently will have to do that every time I buy a ticket.

    Also - wish I could purchase multiple tickets and choose when to "activate" (validate) them from the app. Though I suppose that's ripe for abuse - people wouldn't validate until they see the policeman approaching...

  • New Update Very Disappointing

    This app was so great and after the recent update, it no longer works. I have resorted to using Google maps to find my routes with the bus or train. It is really disappointing that it attempting to make the app better, it had been made dysfunctional and pretty much useless.
  • The best BVG app right now

    Best app on the store at the moment. It's got all the functions that Fahrinfo lost with its latest update.

    You can search by address, click for earlier or later results, you can see departure times by station (extremely useful with buses since they almost always don't stick to the regular schedule), all maps are there, u-sbahn, tram, 24h, potsdam. Walking maps are there as well.

    And it even has some improvements over the Fahrinfo app, for example the departure times also show the real departure time right beneath with green/yellow/red fonts depending on the delay; and you can see the complete itinerary with all the stations you'll be passing by so you can make sure you are on the right track.

    Only things they could improve: add the "graph" view so you see all the itineraries side by side by time and not just as a list. And add the stations maps, so you know where the h the TXL or 200 bus depart from at Alex or at the Hauptbahnhof, if Fahrinfo updates and brings back that functionality I might go back to them.

    But all in all, best app so far! I might even stick with it even if Fahrinfo updates...unless they being back the station maps...then that'd be a dealsealer.

  • Best transport app for Berlin

    The original official public transport app for Berlin. Still the best and most reliable.
  • Essential Tool, But Slow

    I use this app every day to navigate point-to-point through the complex web of the BVG system. An essential tool. What is missing is access to view transit system maps. Also, the app is slow and freezes when you switch out of the app and back in.
  • Sehr gut

    Sehr wichtig und praktisch App.
  • Best one Out there !!!

    Always guides me through Berlin
  • Super

    Works well and better than any of the other apps for Berlin.
  • Great!

    Would be awesome for passbook compatibility so I don't need a ticket every time.
