Err code

Didn’t work for me. Just wasted $10

Response from developer

We're sorry you are having an issue with the app. Please contact us so we can help you. Also please remember that this app will not work on iPad since there is no Wallet to store passes of any kind on iPad.

So practical.

Works well. I even scan directly from my computer screen. No paper. I show my ticket from my Apple watch!

Great!

Great app! Does exactly what it says!

VIA finally does it for free on their app

This app was great when VIA didn't offer Passbook tickets, but now that there is a VIA app, this app is no longer necessary. Especially not at $11.99!! There's no reason to buy this app anymore.

Response from developer

Please, try the free VIA app. If it suits your needs, that's great! Free is great. We all love free! But if you don't have a VIA Preference number (such as a corporate traveler) or don't want to keep entering your VIA Preference password, or want a pass that is properly geo-localized and shows up on your lock screen or watch at the appropriate moment, you will notice that TrainScan is much more convenient.

Super

Simple Γ  utiliser et me permet de voyager comme si j'Γ©tais en 2015 quand la job me fait prendre le train.

Well Done!!!

This app is fantastic. It does one thing and does it extremely well. If only all apps were this well thought out.
Well done!!!

Exactly what I needed

I travel on the train much more frequently than flying, and I've wanted a simple way to have my VIA boarding passes accessible on my phone. Despite a number of suggestions to VIA Rail to use Passbook, it hasn't happened yet.

This app fills that gap by easily addimg the boarding pass to Passbook. It is also time and location aware. The passes have worked flawessly so far.

I highly recommend this for anyone who uses VIA Rail on a regular basis!

Works as advertised

This is something Via should provide, but in a pinch this works great.

My one worry was trouble at the gate, but the ticket-taker didn't even blink.

Works perfectly

Once I figured out how to turn the camera on - works really well. Would attribute to my tech clumsy nature. If you ride the train on a regular basis I recommend this app.

Sorely needed

It works perfectly and fills a gap with Via's ticketing system.

Simply scan your entailed boarding pass and increases a ticket in passbook and a calendar event.
