### 3/5 — You need to add this feature

*2026-07-29*

Two words: “return tickets”

There should be an option to book the return ticket for the last booked ticket. 

Another suggestion I have is to add a swap button for the “from” and “to” stations

### 3/5 — Feedback

*2026-04-01*

The application works only with an active internet connection. In areas like Sector 5, where multiple network jammers are installed, the app doesn’t even open to display my tickets. I suggest adding features similar to RailOne that allow users to access tickets offline.

### 3/5 — User experience of booking ticket is not good

*2025-12-01*

Needs a search bar in source and destination selection page so that user can easily search metro station. Also provide a payment gateway rather SBI Online where user can easily open UPI app.

### 4/5 — Scopes to improve

*2025-11-09*

App is very useful and has great potential for future development. 1. Failed transactions should also be shown under transactions tab. 2. Validity of card should be shown at all times. Also recharge validity has to be mentioned while recharging. 3. Fonts should be leaner, bigger app interface has to be elegant.

### 2/5 — Very slow

*2025-10-09, version 2.0*

App is very slow at payment page. It takes long time for payment.

### 3/5 — Very slow and medieval

*2025-09-27, version 2.0*

Compared to alternate options like phone pe, paytm, payment and registration process is very slow

### 4/5 — Works well, but needs improvement.

*2025-09-26*

The app works well for booking tickets, but one feature that would make it much more convenient is Google Pay / PhonePe integration. Currently, users have to manually type in their UPI ID every time they book a ticket, which feels repetitive and time-consuming. Adding direct integration with popular UPI apps would make the payment process seamless and faster. Hope the team can add this in a future update!

### 3/5 — PLEASE ALLOW SCREENSHOTS

*2025-09-11, version 2.0*

The app is great but please allow screenshots so we can book for friends and family

### 4/5 — Enhancement Request

*2025-08-28*

Please provide a few minor features:
1. Add a search for selecting the source station and destination station in ticket purchase options
2. Please provide the name of the Area of the stations. It is hard for people to find the name with the actual station names.
3. During payment option, please provide a payment via UPI app, not only by UPI ID. Will provide a better experience.


Another thing that I would suggest is that in Train Time Table search, put circular circles with the colours rather than by the text with colour names. Will help you to fit more colors as the Kolkata Metro advances! If not so, you can add a scroll for the menu as well!

### 3/5 — The app needs a proper update and fixing

*2025-08-24*

There are a few issue in the application , firstly the the Yellow line is not available in the app ,
secondly when green line is selected the fare shows zero , when any station before Sealdah(eg esplanade) is selected and desitination selected is after shealdah then the fare is displayed as ₹0 . Please fix this issue and a request please sort the station not by alphabetical order but in their stationed sequence .

### 3/5 — Needs improvements

*2025-08-19, version 1.9*

UI feels slow and glitchy. However the app is really convenient as it eliminates the need to physically go to a metro station for metro card/ticket related procedures.

### 1/5 — Faulty and buggy app

*2025-06-19, version 1.6*

Can you please make integration with paytm app like those of bangalore, hyd etc. if not then please develop this so that there is no bug. Like literally im fed up with the app like money get debited and ticket does not come. Moreover there is no direct gpay and phonepe integration. Please do something its way too annoying to scan the qr from other phone and then pay

### 1/5 — Prehistoric app

*2025-06-14, version 1.6*

The UPI payment process is so outdated! Why do I need to give my UPI ID and who remembers that? You can simply redirect me to my UPI app (like so many other apps do) and I can simply pay from there.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App interface

*2025-10-21, version 2.0*

Worst app interface.
Very difficult for making payments.
Worst payment support for different payment methods.

### 1/5 — User interface

*2025-09-26, version 2.0*

Try to improve the payment interface, after making the payment it takes very long time to update for the confirmation.

### 1/5 — Government apps are the worst what do u even expect from them. I pay their salary & gives the worst

*2025-09-22, version 2.0*

It’s the worst app. Very bad service charges my money & doesn’t refund after pay

### 1/5 — Very poor app no transparency

*2025-09-13, version 2.0*

After doing the top ups the card balance are not getting updated. Even while showing at the gate, top ups done not getting updated.

It is not showing the debit transactions on the card shows only top up transactions. 

Poor app design, new user have to lot of research before using the app. 

As I have 3 metro cards there are no options to save the card in the profile. Every time top up the card, it needs to manual entry. 

No transparency in the card Translations.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2025-09-07, version 2.0*

Quick keyword search for station is mission on IOS

### 1/5 — Payment issue and page loading issues

*2025-08-26, version 1.9*

Please maintain & develop the app properly as this os related to transactions things . 1st & very important problem is payment is not possible directly from “pay now” button and page loading time is too long to keep patience

### 1/5 — Terrible UI

*2025-08-18, version 1.9*

People have to know which line to take to search for metros. The UI should be as simple as user entering onboarding and departing station. The app should suggest which line to take and where to change lines if multiple lines are involved. Please check DMRC app for more reference

### 1/5 — Payment done but qr generation failed

*2025-08-02, version 1.7*

I have booked from this app three times . After successfully payment showing internal server error . It was happened to me 3 times

### 1/5 — payment issue and customer support

*2025-07-31, version 1.7*

This weekend the transaction failed with internal server error post payment. Till now no refund came. Even i don’t know how to connect with customer support. I  asked at normal station ticket counter and they have no clue how to connect with customer support. I tried 3 times and result was same.

### 1/5 — Can’t Pay

*2025-07-18, version 1.7*

When you add an upi id , it throws an error and you can’t take screenshots so that you can pay via QR , please fix this issue in ios

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2025-09-18, version 2.0*

Very smooth and user friendly app

### 5/5 — A suggestion, Not a Review

*2025-09-11*

App is getting better day by day & adding features continuously.. I am using this app from the very beginning of the app launched.. So I can see the difference of the modern version from the very first one.
So for a long time user, I want to see this app getting even better. So I have some suggestions which can definitely improve user experience as well as the convenience of the travelers.
Suggestions :
1. Please provide a search option for the stations in  "QR Booking" section for both the "Origin Station" & "Destination Station ".
2. Please provide the "Line" colour beside the stations when searching for the stations.
As example : I searched "Esplanade" & beside it Colour "Blue" and "Green" is showing. So that the passengers/users can understand that it's a "Interchangeable" Station. Same goes for the Noapara station.. Many more interchangeable stations will come after every line's full operation.
3. Minimize the size of icons so that it looks compact and crisp..
4. Please provide Various UPI Apps for direct payments in the payment section..Most of the passengers do not know their VPA.. So it will be a game changer if they just select an UPI App and it redirects to the app for payment.
5. The last one.. Please Provide Ticket Booking or Smart Card Recharge facilities directly on the Various UPI apps just like Delhi Metro or other metros in some Indian cities..
Thank You

### 5/5 — Metro Kolkata App

*2025-08-31*

Need a little bit redesigning of interface. Which I know will be available. Rest all is good but show the updated metro stations which are functional
And under construction

### 5/5 — Queries regarding new extensions of yellow line

*2025-08-20, version 1.9*

When the service bimanbandar to nopara or vice versa extension be updated?

### 5/5 — Card payment

*2024-10-09, version 1.3*

Wonderfull

### 5/5 — Super slow payment gateway

*2024-10-04*

3 out of 5 times, I got super slow recharge gateway issue. Be it in wifi zone or in mobile network zone.

### 5/5 — Must have App for Daily Commuters

*2024-05-14*

Finally Kolkata Metro has launched their ios app. You can know train schedules, recharge your card and also book MTickets (For Green Line only). We as a citizen of this country should use the official app for our daily commute. We have a fair enough digital infrastructure in India and youngsters should use it more.
