NO STARS

I down loaded the app but can’t register a new account. It states I already have one which I don’t, so I ask for a new password and an error sign on message keeps appearing and won’t let me continue. Weirdly I can log out.

Glitchy & inconsistent

I have used calmac app to book my ferry tickets for many years - having stayed onna Scottish island for almost 4 years it was essential. However now I find the app doesn’t accept the destination port after typing in so you waste time adding the return port, only to find it is now set as destination. Tickets no longer save to Apple wallet - SOMETIMES …
Previous details don’t persist in the app so you need to rewrite for each ticket and finally, the buy tickets button is difficult to find. It should be there on the opening screen not having to be searched for.

Unable to log on

Every day receive the same notification that Port Ellen is closed till 2029. Why send the same notification daily! Tried to log in to try and stop notifications but after adding password it just flips back to a blank password box.

Does not work correctly

Every time the phone shuts down you have to log bag in. Challange when poor signal some places.
Vehicle details are incorrect and have to be corrected every time so what is the point in saving your details
Ticket should be saved in the Wallet on your phone.

Can’t log in on iOS

Stupid app. Try to log in and it takes you to the webpage. You log in there but it doesn’t log in on the app. So app is useless if you have an account
