### 2/5 — Transfer problem

*2025-12-31, version 1.1.9*

The app will not let me transfer money from my other my keys cards that’s on my account.

### 2/5 — Cannot load fare card

*2024-01-22, version 1.1.4*

This app is useless. I have tried multiple cards multiple times and cannot get a fare card to load to my app. What am I missing??

### 1/5 — Unable to Scan

*2023-10-13, version 1.1.3*

It will never display the QR code??

### 1/5 — MyKey never works

*2023-10-06, version 1.1.3*

I think that they need to update the app so that you can tap your card through the app or through wallet. The QR code that they currently have rarely works. It’s too small and the scanners don’t recognize it. Updating the app would make it easier for people to use and IndyGo would stop loosing money. Just a thought.

### 1/5 — No QR Code

*2023-10-05, version 1.1.3*

QR code doesn’t display on iPhone 15

### 2/5 — Cannot load fare card

*2023-09-11*

I have tried multiple cards multiple times and cannot get a fare card to load to my app. What am I missing??

### 1/5 — App rarely scans on Indy busses

*2023-07-06, version 1.1.3*

I try and use this app every time I use take the bus. But it rarely scans when I try and ride. My screen brightness is set as high as it goes. This invariable pisses off the bus driver and all the passengers. 

Please:

Fix. 
Your. 
Stupid. 
Bus app. 

Thanks.

### 1/5 — All of my email address are already in use

*2023-07-05, version 1.1.3*

All of my new email address are already in use when creating an account. Still tried forgot password but isn't working, because guess what? I haven't registered any of my email address!

### 1/5 — QR not scanning

*2023-03-25, version 1.1.3*

I’m about to be the next person on this list with a QR code that won’t scan, I feel bad for wasting the driver time when it doesn’t work and I’m lucky they let me sit but this is ridiculous and it can’t be an ongoing problem, this has to be fixed because this is very convenient for a lot of people to not physically goto the center just to have a card in hand smh

### 4/5 — QR code stopped working

*2023-03-22, version 1.1.3*

The QR code was not showing up inveje screen. I had to order a fare card because the app was out of work, at least for me, for a couple of weeks. I tried to uninstall and install it again but the problem still happening.

### 1/5 — Rarely scans, delays busses

*2023-03-10*

Screen will rarely scan when I get on a bus. Screen is on full brightness with no cover screen. Indianapolis remains one of the worst cities in the union when it comes to public transit. 

It pains me people are getting paid for such technology.

### 1/5 — Qr code dissapeared

*2023-03-09, version 1.1.1*

New update made the QR code dissapear in my app, making the app useless.

### 1/5 — Trash….

*2026-01-20, version 1.1.9*

The app won’t allow me to delete lost cards. If you mark the card lost, or stolen now you can’t remove the card. The digital QR code never scans and now the balance shown is inaccurate even if I reload, close and reopen the app. It’s a shame the taxpayers paid more money to this transit program and we still have horrendous service and trash apps. The nerve of raising fares is a real head scratcher.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-06-18, version 1.1.6*

I have the app on an iPhone 16e and the QR code to pay doesn’t show up, even with a linked card and funds. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling app and signing in and out and doesn’t work. Called customer service and they couldn’t help, and the customer support email doesn’t work. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK RIGHT

*2025-05-27, version 1.1.6*

Will not let me manually enter the numbers required to add value from a purchased ticket. No numbers or text boxes pop up to let you type in all the info needed to register, update or add any value from station platform kiosk purchased tickets. And the scan text option via iPhone OS will not focus correctly on the numbers either. The perfect marriage of Bad App Design & Apple's integrated tech failure

### 1/5 — Poor website or dumb administrator

*2025-02-22, version 1.1.5*

I’ve missed tooo many appointments and even though my account is active it keeps saying that it isn’t

### 1/5 — All day fare?

*2024-12-22, version 1.1.5*

We aren’t able to get an all day pass with my Medicade card.

### 1/5 — Not updated

*2024-10-15, version 1.1.4*

QR code does not work on IPhone 16

### 1/5 — Can’t log in/Forgot password

*2024-09-25*

it says that it cannot send me a password reset email and also when I try to set up a new account with my email it says an account already exists, but I still can’t get the reset password email to send. Needs work

### 1/5 — Can’t pay for my friends

*2024-08-01, version 1.1.4*

App only works for yourself. Garbage product team behind this app.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-06-18, version 1.1.4*

App allowed me to sign up and verify my email; however, it won’t allow me to login. No keyboard will appear for me to input my username and password on my Apple 15 pro max with latest operating system. I’ve forced the app to stop and re-opened it, and the keyboard will never appear. I even tried turning my phone to see if it was a landscape vs portrait issue. Nope.

### 1/5 — Payment Options and Auto Fill issues

*2023-10-31, version 1.1.3*

Does this app accomplish its main goal for me to pay for my transit? Absolutely. But see below. The option to displayed for Apple Pay is not clickable. The auto refill option doesn’t work. I’ve identified my threshold to be under $5 to add $10 more dollars and my balance ($4.50) has not updated. Overall, I want this app to do well and hope more things become native to it (maps, etc.) - currently looks like a frame to a browser in some areas. Those items and payment options and auto-refill guided my score here. Looking forward to updates!

Updated: adding how finicky this is. Along with QR code has disappeared on new iOS and iPhone 15 even after un/re-installing. This app needs improvment

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-03-12, version 1.1.9*

### 5/5 — Fast

*2024-12-19, version 1.1.5*

I love it

### 5/5 — The Best

*2024-04-14*

I love this so much and I am happy to have it

### 5/5 — QR code

*2024-03-27, version 1.1.4*

I downloaded the app and it only worked once on the bus. Since then I tried many other times on Indygo buses but the validation machine on board could not read the QR code on my phone!

### 5/5 — MyKey

*2023-12-17, version 1.1.4*

Much better than the monthly pass. I recommend it.

### 5/5 — Great idea. Poor execution. Zero support.

*2022-06-16, version 1.1.0*

The paper tickets work every time. The app is awful. Hard to access. Can’t log in much of the time. Can’t connect the plastic card to my app. The QR code reader on the buses won’t read my code. And calling customer support is useless - 1 out of 5 calls got answered, and the guy I spoke to just agreed that the system was awful and he couldn’t help me. SO frustrating!

### 5/5 — Great transit app!

*2021-01-29, version 1.0.1*

MyKey is a good app: Simple. Easy to use. 

Last non-pandemic year I used something like 10 mobile transit apps in North America, and MyKey is as easy to use as any app in every major city without a team called the Knicks.

I like it!

### 4/5 — We should get a discount using tap or card

*2026-07-03, version 1.1.10*

📱🤳🏾

### 4/5 — Works better now.

*2025-10-23, version 1.1.9*

As of 10/20/25 it seems they have fixed the QR code issue on new iphones. I can ride the bus again now. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Reset password

*2024-11-07*

I couldn’t get the password reset option to work on the app but i did it to work on the Indygo website and then was able to get back on the app.
