User reviews

Scam for money

The app is full of push sudden windows to make you buy, full of useless extra info that make you uneasy to navigate the app too many options and even if it does have real time timetables it has been made not to help as priority but to take money from foreigners. Shame on you developers it use to be a nice app in te beginning now you give the app to the wrong people to design!

Gready

C’était bien quand il n’y avait pas d’abonnement, maintenant c’est aussi cher que Netflix, vous êtes fous

Can’t get past onboarding

After asking for location services, can’t continue. If kill and restart app, just a blue screen.

Awful and frustrating

Just nothing more than an attempt to keep selling you stuff when providing publicly available train information. Very frustrating and annoying

Route Navigation

Really bad! Type in place name…click on it…and suddenly the name changes. You have to do this 3-4 times before it actually uses the place you want. Stupid!
