### 2/5 — Bad user functionality

*2026-07-19, version 5.5.4*

The app is just not fluid. I appreciate the integration of Apple Pay into the app, but the user functionality is not quite there. I feel like the app is 10 years behind.

### 3/5 — Confusion with buying tickets

*2026-07-16, version 5.5.4*

It is confusing trying to buy tickets to get to the payment section. I did not want to enhance my journey with access to the lounge so I didn’t click on that icon. You have to click on it and then remove it before the tab for going to payment appears.

### 4/5 — Good service

*2026-06-11, version 5.5.4*

App gets stuck at times when left idle for a while. As for the rest, excellent service.

### 2/5 — Gioco di tariffe?

*2026-06-08, version 5.5.4*

Stavo per pagare quando ho ricevuto un messaggio di errore. Mi ha inviato a provare più tardi. Ho provato diverse volte sia con l’app che con il sito web e, finalmente, due ore dopo sono riuscito a pagare, ma la tariffa è aumentata. Non mi sembra giusto.

### 4/5 — Italo from NY

*2026-04-11, version 5.5.3*

Very easy to use!

### 3/5 — App needs work

*2025-09-18, version 5.4.2*

App is glitchy doesn’t work very well, train service is good

### 2/5 — Glitches often

*2025-08-11, version 5.4.1*

Will not open on WiFi often or at all. Seems to be down quite often.

### 3/5 — App no longer works

*2025-07-18, version 5.4.0*

Was a great and convenient substitute for the website, but it hasn’t been working at all recently. Just redirects you to the site.

### 1/5 — Keeps rejecting password

*2025-06-16, version 5.3.2*

App keeps rejecting password during account set up. Tried multiple browsers. No luck

### 1/5 — Won’t work since latest update

*2025-06-02, version 5.3.2*

Very annoying, did recent update and now won’t work. It’s a pain as currently travelling in Italy….

### 2/5 — App stopped working

*2025-06-02, version 5.3.2*

App worked great until new iOS update was installed on my iPhone 2 days ago. Now it won’t work and directs me to website despite reinstalling. Still works on devices that aren’t updated.

### 1/5 — App has not been working lately.

*2025-06-02, version 5.3.2*

The app keeps saying “It has not possible to launch the app. Check the network status of your device and try again in a few seconds.”  It has been like this for a few days.

### 3/5 — Language

*2025-03-14*

I don’t know italiano

**Developer response:** Dear Customer,
The Italo Treno App is available in English as well. To select your preferred language, simply open the menu, navigate to Settings, and use the language switch option.
Kind regards,
Italo

### 1/5 — Price

*2026-04-02, version 5.5.3*

Changed 10 Euro in 5 minutes

### 1/5 — Pessimo

*2026-03-31*

Não tem opção de outra língua exceto italiano

### 1/5 — Non riesco a registrarmi

*2026-02-07, version 5.5.2*

Su IPad non funziona, non riesco nemmeno a registrarmi. Inserisco tutti i dati per la registrazione e poi non c’è nessun tasto per proseguire con l’iscrizione.

### 1/5 — The “High-Speed” Train That Never Arrives

*2025-10-02*

Italo completely destroyed my travel plans. Two back-to-back delays of more than 2 hours made me miss not just one, but multiple connecting trains. This company has no respect for passengers’ time, money, or schedules.

Calling this “high-speed rail” is a joke — what they actually deliver is chaos, stress, and zero accountability. If you care about reliability, stay far away from Italo.

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2025-08-07, version 5.4.0*

As others have mentioned, the app no longer works. It just keeps saying it is not available and to go to their website. No point in downloading it until they fix it.

### 1/5 — App Down

*2025-08-07, version 5.4.0*

It has been more than a week that the app is not working. No resolution given. Useless app as it is

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore

*2025-08-06, version 5.4.0*

App has stopped working and asks you to goto website.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-07-17, version 5.4.0*

Had the app went to get tickets and nothing shows just search function
Stupid

### 1/5 — App is not working

*2025-07-14, version 5.4.0*

Same as what other mentioned. The app is not working anymore and directs you to their website.

### 1/5 — Non funziona

*2025-06-27, version 5.3.2*

Da più di una settimana che quest’app non funziona. Dice che devo controllare lo stato della rete, ma tutte le altre app sul mio telefono funzionano senza problemi, quindi non è la rete. Inutile.

### 5/5 — Rome to Florence

*2026-08-06, version 5.5.4*

Eccellente!

### 5/5 — Muy Cómodo !!

*2026-06-19, version 5.5.4*

Es muy práctico y fácil de usar. Lo recomiendo mucho para hacer sus reservaciones y más cuando son con anticipación, ya que puedes ahorrarte dinero. Si vas de ida y vuelta a un destino es preferible que compres tus boletos de ida y vuelta en una sola exhibición para que ahorres, ya que si pagas ambos boletos separados, el de ida y el de vuelta, te saldrían más caros.

### 5/5 — Train

*2026-04-03, version 5.5.3*

Very easy to understand, clear and easy to book.

### 5/5 — Great & easy app for tourist

*2026-02-07, version 5.5.2*

This is an easiest app to book fast train tickets. My first time to Italy and I had no issues to book all my train trips through this app. I’m very happy with it!

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2025-12-13, version 5.4.7*

Easy

### 5/5 — Great support

I am very happy with the speed and success to bay this ticket

### 5/5 — App

*2025-05-20, version 5.3.1*

Easy to use.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-03-08, version 5.2.3*

Well designed,easy to navigate  and to process payment. We were not giving the option to choose sit type for the return, that was the only thing we found odd.

### 5/5 — Serviço de qualidade

*2025-02-27*

Empresa impecável! Pontual e serviço de bordo excelente. Quando voltar a Itália usarei novamente os trens da Italo.

### 5/5 — Book Direct for better prices

*2025-02-13, version 5.2.2*

Always check this site as they have fast trains and often special prices that you don’t get when using aggregators.
