### 1/5 — Pointless

*2025-02-01, version 1.9.2*

Outdated, slow and poorly laid out. Many new stations missing. They ask for feedback but never do anything with it. 

You’re better off deleting this waste of time and adding one from one of the train companies.

### 2/5 — Can’t even book more than one person. Smh.

*2024-10-22, version 1.9.2*

Not a great app. Not helped by the totally confusing ticket options. No wonder people get fined. Even the people who run the trains don’t understand their services. Only train nerds on Youtube get it, but we’re not all Geoff Marshall. I can’t even book a ticket for more than one person that’s how rubbish this app is!

### 2/5 — Just about useable

*2024-10-06, version 1.9.2*

Significant downgrade in usefull functions to navigate cancelled/delayed trains and last minute platform changes, but unlike the new iPhone version this still has some use and it’s nice to be reminded on every screen how much I’ve saved by not buying tickets direct from them!

### 1/5 — Nags and out of date

*2024-09-28, version 1.9.2*

Poor app not updated. Keeps nagging you for feedback and yet hasn’t been updated for new stations e.g. Marsh Barton

### 3/5 — Please do not update this iPad version to be like the iPhone version

*2024-08-13, version 1.9.2*

The new iPhone version is useless, I’m giving the iPad version 3 stars as its not perfect but better than the new iPhone version which I wouldn’t give any stars. On this version why have the stupid response “ you can’t plan a journey in the past” I know that perfectly but I might want to recheck a journey from earlier in the day. Agree the app has got worse over time… was great say 5 years ago. Also the way of setting the time is really irritating

### 3/5 — Needs updating for new stations

*2024-07-09, version 1.9.2*

East Linton Station is new - it opened in December 2023 - so almost 8 months ago.  After a brief hiatus period - it appears on all the websites and apps - including National Rail website and iphone app - and you can book tickets etc.  However, for some reason it does not appear on the ipad version of the app.

### 1/5 — MISSING STATION

*2023-09-19, version 1.9.2*

Tottenham Court Road Elizabeth line does not exist on this app.
Very strange mistake for a key central station… confusing

### 1/5 — Absolutely awful!

*2023-08-03, version 1.9.2*

Layout is ridiculous!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t list all stations!

*2023-06-19, version 1.9.2*

My nearest railway station opened a couple of years ago, but still isn’t listed on this app! Useless - I’ll have to uninstall it. Disappointed.

### 1/5 — Completely hopeless

*2023-04-11, version 1.9.2*

Completely hopeless
