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

Utterly useless

Don’t bother trying to find your tickets on here you get redirected to their totally useless website, and good luck finding them there. Even ScotRail manage to show your tickets on their app and they are completely useless.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE OTHER IDIOTS IN REVIEWS

This app is a huge improvement from the legacy Calmac Status app. This has many more features and useful tools than its predecessor . Sure, it is not perfect, as with any app, but gosh, people are so over critical here (probably because they do not know how to use it ;) )

Rubbish
