Foreign Telephone number

Why is it such a big deal to send SMS to a foreign telephone number. I signed up as a foreigner but password reset does not allow the acceptance of another country code so the SMS goes nowhere and I cannot reset my password. Really terrible. I called the international customer service numbers and they don’t work. Why was this not tested.

Preference doesn’t work

Why put preference if you r just not gonna listen and do whatever the hell you want to do. Like never once have i ever gotten something I prefer. Then why do they have an option if you are just gonna do whatever you want. Hate the app. Whenever you try to book tatkal the app gets crowded. Like bro YouTube has lakh of people on it simultaneously but they don’t stop working. And for India’s most employing job to be working this way is shameful

Worst app

it’s a the mirror image of how efficient govt are!!

Its SHAMEFUL to call this an official app(iOS)

Pretty sure they paid equivalent of smaller country economy to get an app done by a 2nd year college student.
