### 2/5 — Denmark train app

*2026-07-15*

It can work, but the interface leaves much to be desired, as others have pointed out. It also tries to use a fancy location-tracking system to charge you for by-distance tickets, but it's unreliable. For example if you stop for a while in a station it may decide you got got off the train and finalize your ticket. You may then notice sometime later when a conductor nabs you for traveling without one. Finally the website blocks purchases from outside the country so good luck trying to prebook long-distance travel.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We understand that the interface may not meet all expectations, and we are continuously working to improve it based on user input. Regarding the location-tracking system, we acknowledge that it can occasionally cause issues, such as prematurely finalizing tickets. This is something we are actively looking into to ensure a smoother and more reliable experience for our passengers.

As for the website blocking purchases from outside Denmark, we understand how this can be frustrating for those planning long-distance travel. We will forward your concerns to the relevant team to explore potential solutions. If you need assistance with booking or have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly.

### 2/5 — Not able to get a receipt

*2026-07-02*

Click get a receipt. Correct email on file shows up, when you click to get an email, you instead get a message. Saying “Something went wrong”

### 2/5 — Lacking Seat Selection

*2026-06-12*

With today’s technology it’s truly amazing that DSB Denmark is so far behind that they cannot get an app to allow manual seat selection.

**Developer response:** It is now again possible to select seat in the app. - Anita

### 2/5 — Difficult to plan

*2026-04-15*

Only seems able to search right now and not alternate trips or routes

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback regarding the DSB app. I’d like to clarify that the app does allow you to search for departures at other times. You can easily adjust the time and date in the search function to find trips that suit your schedule. The app is designed to automatically find the best route based on your input, whether it’s for now or later.-Joelle

### 2/5 — Commuter card

*2026-03-30, version 3.0.0*

So, I’m paying an enormous amount of money for my monthly commuter card, and it’s disappear from the app just because? It’s not my first time. Once I got fine because of that!

### 2/5 — Can’t Enter phone number with +1 prefix

*2026-03-28*

Got this app in preparation for an upcoming trip to Copenhagen but I have a United States phone number and the United States isn’t listed in the dropdown menu when setting up account phone number, so I couldn’t get very far.

**Developer response:** Several country numbers have been blocked from accessing our app, and that is unfortunately what you discover here 🙁 If you have to buy a ticket for travel in Denmark, then you can buy a ticket in the ticket machine at the station.-Joelle

### 3/5 — Decent app for a meh service

*2026-01-06, version 2.19.0*

The app in general is polished and easy to understand. The core features mostly work from the point you have picked out a journey plan. However getting there is hellish. The app retains the horrid logic of the website and many of it’s broken features. I have never once gotten the “Arrive by” feature working for example, instead having to guess a rough departure time based on the average length of the journey. The search timeout is a heinous limitation as well, as it can trip you up even if you’ve been viewing journey plans or about to book, requiring a whole new search. Which btw will be essentially from scratch, as the journey time field will be reset every time. 
Also wish there was a more complete timetable to view in the app, the departures only show about an hour in advance, which is not enough time to re-plan in case something happens to your train or bus.

### 1/5 — Bad UX and useless for railway journeys

*2025-10-13*

An app with english settings available should show more than the landing page in English!
And why isn’t it possible to look up destinations outside the city of Copenhagen?
Or why are only busses and metro lines shown?

**Developer response:** Hi

I’d recommend contacting our Customer Service Center at phone number: +45 70131415🙂
There’s probably something glitching in the system if you’re only seeing bus and metro lines.

Kind regards, Daizy

### 4/5 — SYNC with WebPortal and APPLE wallet

*2025-10-08, version 2.17.0*

Hello DSB team, Can you please deliver the following point to make the app with a better experience:

1. Billede in Apple Wallet
2. SYNC APP with Portal; this app are non SYNC 🫠

After this I will give 5 stars

### 3/5 — Okay experience and could be better

*2025-09-15, version 2.17.0*

The UI/UX is nice but loading is too slow compared to DOT. The ticket screen is too bright and dark mode could be darker. A feature request I would like to mention is the ability to add it as travel card in Apple Wallet maybe.

### 1/5 — Збої даної програми

*2025-09-12, version 2.17.0*

Сьогодні зіштовхнувся з проблемою щодо придбання квитка на заплановану дату, кошти списало з мого банківського рахунку, а квиток я не отримав. У мене питання - в чому проблема? Чому я маю витрачати свій час на повернення коштів?

### 1/5 — Rubbish!

*2025-08-30, version 2.16.1*

Could not get it to work. Bought a ticket at the station for 10% less than the cheapest option on the app. Does not support Apple Pay? Really? In 2025?

### 1/5 — terrible experience

*2025-08-21, version 2.16.1*

I just bought my ticket by apple pay with a non-Denmark credit card. I got all the notifications from my foreign bank, but an error popped up in DSB. Great, I paid for nothing.

### 3/5 — Mr

*2025-08-21, version 2.16.1*

The app works but it is at the bottom of travel apps around Europe

### 1/5 — Do Not use it!

*2026-07-26*

Do not waste your time with this app. The app has a serious issue with the ticket purchase flow. I selected Plan and Buy, chose a train from Copenhagen to Malmö, and instead of letting me purchase a ticket, the app forced me into a seat reservation only flow. It then redirected me to reserve bike space—even though I wasn’t traveling with a bike—and provided no way to proceed with buying the actual ticket.

The workflow is confusing, appears to be broken, and leaves users unable to complete a simple purchase. An app for a national railway should make buying a ticket straightforward, not force users into a dead end.

**Developer response:** We are so sorry for that, but a ticket from Copenhagen to Malmö can't be bought in the DSB App. You can only buy a bike ticket in the app. Next time when you need a ticket to Malmö you can buy it at the station. //Joelle

### 1/5 — United States

*2026-07-21, version 3.2.2*

How do we login with our 10 digit cell phone numbers when the app only allows for 8 digits

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-06-13*

Im traveling and don’t have text messages with my e sim . I cannot verify my number , and cannot use this app. at least use WhatsApp or data messages to verify phone numbers or use email seems very stupid to only use sms texting. Wasting my time and energy on this app!

### 1/5 — US cards and Apple Pay rejected

*2026-06-06*

Payments rejected while my US bank confirms not rejected by them. Used to work a couple of years ago with US Mastercard. No help line to call?

**Developer response:** I'm sorry that you have experienced problems with payment. I would advise you to call our Customer Center who can help you on +45 70 13 14 15. Anita

### 1/5 — We fixed minor things you won’t notice

*2026-05-19, version 3.1.2*

You removed seat selection and return search, seriously? In that sense, if you cut your arms off, you will roll over faster, right?

### 1/5 — Can't access my ticket, stuck in a login loop

*2026-03-12*

Second day of using the app, trying to activate Pendler20, the app logged me out and when trying to log in back, it gets stuck in a login loop. So I am stuck too at the station not being able to travel with the ticket I had purchased.

**Developer response:** We are aware that the app did not work as intended. The error has been corrected. -Joelle

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-12-05*

Doesn‘t work

**Developer response:** I'm so sorry for that! Next time you experience this you can call Customer Service on 70 13 14 15. -Joelle

*2025-11-23*

Station search is bad. Only few info about departures (10 trains or so) and lot of malfunctions

### 1/5 — Not working anymore

*2025-11-20*

Yesterday it was working, but today I cant Check in anymore

### 1/5 — Stop allowing to buy the sit in the first class!!!

*2025-11-07, version 2.17.2*

The train is full: the app is allowing you to buy the sit in the first class anyway! The wagon is EMPTY! and the rest of the train is full!!!  and even if you paid the sit you’re not allowed to sit there otherwise you have to pay again a full price ticket!!! This is unaffordable!!!! Ppl are like sardines with same wagon fully empty bc of it!!!! It’s not even save for the ppl who have to stand and stay in between wagons!!!!

### 5/5 — Super App

*2026-05-25*

Die Fahrrad Sitzplatzreservierung funktioniert gut! Man muss nur wissen, dass es  bei nachträglicher Reservierung passieren kann, dass keine Stellplätze mehr frei sind. Deshalb am besten immer Fahrkarte und Stellplatz   zusammen  buchen.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-03-18, version 2.21.4*

Impressed

### 5/5 — Last release unstable.

*2025-08-13, version 2.16.0*

iPhone 7S iOS 15.8.4 for this version is absolutely unstable last release. The release of a given application cannot be opened. The process remains hanging in the background of the processes. Please fix this quickly I can't show my fare. THX

### 5/5 — Vipps

*2024-10-31, version 2.8.1*

Efter opdatering åbner Vipps før MobilePay

### 5/5 — I❤️DSB

*2024-10-25, version 2.8.1*

Et af højdepunkterne ved min ferie i DK er togturen fra CPH lufthavn til Jylland. At køre uforhindret igennem det spraglede danske efterårslandskab i et topmoderne lyntog er bare det bedste. Og DSB app’en har gjort alting lettere ☀️🙏🏽😍

### 5/5 — Not currently working

*2024-09-20, version 2.6.2*

Normally a good app but at the moment I can’t even open it!
