Ugh

Bad app. Awful to navigate, no info on pricing.

Terrible

I simply just tried to make an account and every verification link it sent was broken. Cannot bypass it, and didn’t work to try on a desktop either.

Terrible app and web

App and website always have errors that prevent me from reloading my cards. Highly disappointed in quality of an app that is related to public transportation

Horrible app

Honestly this app is just terrible for lack of a better word. Too much going on with nothing that actually helps. Why can’t I re-connect my Apple Wallet when it’s broken in-app? Why does my auto reload go through early, taking away days in paying for and making me double pay?

These days, just pay with your credit card and don’t use clipper it’s a headache

Mayor Lurie? help?

Spinning, spinning, spinning – the app obviously has not been working. Very frustrating.
In a recent KQED Forum podcast interview it was claimed that Clipper and its app is now, finally, up to speed.
We need some Mamdani-style direct action by our own Mayor to actually get this thing running and achieve excellence. Let’s go!
I’m looking forward to updating this review…
