Simple to use and great app that automatically adds the train trip to calendar

Fills the gap that VIA left, and does it nicely.

This app is very easy to use, and the latest update takes away its last problem. It does what VIA can't or won't, and it does it pretty simply.

Trรจs utile

Trรจs bonne application et facile a utiliser.

Quick and easy

Works just as described. If by chance one of your tickets is from a station not yet in the database (as it happened with one of my tickets), email the developer and he adds it quickly, fixing it on the server side. Didn't even have to update the app to get it to work after he added it.

Scan and done!

I concur with the previous comment: it does one thing, but it does it well. I didnโ€™t even need to print my boarding pass and scanned the bar code directly from my computer screen. A suggested add-on would be allow the same information gathered for Passbook to be pulled into iCal. Before buying it, I paused and wondered how long it might take for ViaRail to build this functionality into their own website. Then I remembered it is a crown corporation, so I decided to download the app. :-)

It works. Itโ€™s great.

The app does one thing, but does it perfectly. I feel like itโ€™s an app from an alternate universe where apps are simpler, have fewer bells and whistles, and instead of monetizing social graphs just cost money to solve problems. I think I like the universe this app is from.

Excellent! Works as advertised.

I was skeptical, but I was so sick of having to hunt for the email that I spent the money. So far it has worked perfectly. No Via employees have had any issue with using it, and it scans perfect on their devices.

Shame on Via Rail for not having Passbook support on their tickets!!

If you travel on Via Rail regularly, get this app

Fumbling through emails looking for your pass - fugetaboutit! This app does just one thing, but does it very well.

Amazing! Finally an app to handle Train pass emails

Many thanks to the developer. Stop Traveling like an animal :)
