What I like best about this simple app is its complete and utter foolproof method of not being able to actually scan the smart card at all and basically not work in any way what so ever. It’s a novel approach to an app that should work by being able to scan a smart card, and generally work in some basic fashion. It makes you reconsider the very meaning of life itself by contradicting the very meaning of an app.

Errors
Everytime you attempt to scan a card it proceeds to bug you with so many errors its unbelievable.

Full of bugs
Such a simple app yet actually a useful one for checking on and activating flexi passes on my smart card. Yet despite this it hasn’t been updating in years and is full of bugs. Activating a ticket shows an error has occurred every single time. Odd it’s like it’s been built and completely forgotten about in at least 3 years!

Don’t rely on it
It’s bad. Just really, really bad. I’ve complained to GWR, and they don’t care. And it hasn’t been updated in years, which tells you how much National Rail care.
For one, it throws a ton of errors that you’re just supposed to ignore. Keep trying, and you’ll usually get there.
But then sometimes, it just doesn’t work. You can have a smartcard full of tickets ready to go, but the app just won’t activate one. And you know the train company will fine you if you board without a ticket. So you don’t have any choice but to buy another ticket — a paper one, that actually works.
I’ve wasted so much time and money on this app, it’s ridiculous. With all the duplicate tickets I have to buy, there’s no point in renewing my flexi-season anymore. It’s cheaper just to buy paper tickets every day.
EDIT: I loaded £60 of flexi tickets onto my card, and the app refuses to activate them, and GWR say it’s none of their business. What an absolute scam of a system. I quit. The bus takes longer, but at least it’s honest.
