I haven’t seen anything like this. ### 1/5 — App is designed for adds *2025-05-26, version 5.7.2* Installed the app and tried to check train live status but the adds never stop. So I have to give this rating & review and uninstall the app. ### 1/5 — First class is no first class standard *2025-04-08, version 5.7.2* dirty seats tables and washrooms ### 1/5 — Not recommended *2025-03-01, version 5.7.2* Full of ads ### 2/5 — Lot of features to be improved *2025-02-27, version 5.7.2* Give it to private party to debug all issues I see on mobile app. I guess big boss don’t use it to see the problem and qty of ads it shows, before showing 15 seconds information. Am from Canada and totally disappointed by its performance. Please fix the issues. Thanks ### 1/5 — Worst App *2025-02-11, version 5.7.2* One of the worst app, don’t even try to install. After every single click they will show you the crazy advertisements. Disgusting !!!!! ### 1/5 — Entire password system stinks *2025-02-08, version 5.7.2* Password update requires. Never able to validate account. Many people have had this problem. Unfortunately for such an important app there is no update. It’s a shame. ### 3/5 — Mind of its own *2025-01-30, version 5.7.1* The app is good but could be better. Many times the app hangs up and says services is unavailable. ### 1/5 — NO GOOD *2024-12-26, version 5.7.0* THIS APP DIRECT YOU TO ITS SUBSIDIARY AND ALLOT SEAT AS PER THEIR WISH NOT BY PASSANGER REQUEST, THOUGH ALL SEATS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF BOOKING , AND YOU PAY FOR SERVICE COMMISSION TO SUBSIDIARY WHICH YOU DO NOT RECEIVE. ### 1/5 — Dreadful *2024-12-23, version 5.7.0* The app itself is excellent, but there is an intrusive long advertisement every single time you search. It renders the app useless unless you pay to remove the ads. It would be better if they were honest and charged for the app. ### 2/5 — Tech & customer service *2024-12-16, version 5.7.0* I am unable to complete my profile. When I login and select update profile, nothing happens on the webpage. When I called the customer service I’m told just wait and try again after sometime. ### 1/5 — To many add *2024-12-12, version 5.7.0* Unable to use due to frequency of ads ### 1/5 — Too many ads, very annoying and bad user experience *2024-11-04, version 5.7.0* Why can’t government of India provide a simple, user friendly app free of ads? Is the government so poor that they revenue out of these pesky ads? How money are you really making out of these ads? Or is it feeding some minister’s son’s or relative’s business? User Experience is bad. E.g. it’s tough to figure out how to book a ticket. One eventually one finds out how, when one clicks on “book” it take you to Apple App Store link for a third party app or a game app. Really? Govt. of India needs to collect this click ad revenue and can’t provide simple, user friendly booking experience? I’m deleting this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Make the app Advert free *2026-08-31, version 5.8.2* this app should be advert free it is frustrating to flash adverts when users are planning their travel ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-07, version 5.7.7* This app is ridiculous, too many advertisements, just deleted this app. ### 1/5 — Difficult to use app *2026-07-03, version 5.7.7* Too many ads The ads occupy over 70% of the page ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-06-21, version 5.7.7* Ads in every step.
