### 2/5 — Mr. Right

*2025-09-17, version 8.1.151*

Why disappear bus and tram 1 day pass?

### 3/5 — Okayish

*2025-08-21, version 8.1.151*

It’s time to add travel card to iPhones Express Travel, to finally stop slow people from creating queues on each stop when they try to scan barcode from the app.

### 3/5 — Does not work since update in July25

*2025-08-16, version 8.1.151*

This use to be a great app. I have been using this app for almost a year but late July the app has become impossible to use.  I Cannot logon using either Face ID or email and password. I need my account deleting so I can create a new one altogether.

### 1/5 — Track delays

*2024-09-17, version 7.8.24*

Bus I take to work is regularly over 30 mins late and there’s no way to tell unlike other apps like stagecoach

### 1/5 — Outrageous Fares

*2024-09-02, version 7.8.23*

The prices keep increasing.

### 1/5 — Add Apple Pay

*2024-07-14, version 7.8.23*

Add the functionality it’s 2024

### 1/5 — Awful, doesn’t scan

*2024-07-13, version 7.8.23*

Sick of using this app, we code doesn’t scan, tried even with my screen protector off. It shouldn’t take ages for it to scan and keep moving your phone about in different positions, bus drivers act arsey with you when it doesn’t scan when in reality you’ve paid however much for a ticket.

### 2/5 — embarrassing

*2024-07-05, version 7.8.21*

this app is hella embarrassing when it doesn’t get scanned. it’s a qr code there shouldn’t be any issue.

### 1/5 — Payzone barcode doesn’t work

*2024-04-30, version 7.8.16*

I have been to 10 shops today and they have said that they do not do bus passes. Change to pay point. It’s getting ridiculous now.

### 1/5 — MAKE THE APP SUPPORT OLDER IOS

*2024-04-12, version 7.8.16*

Not everyone can afford to live on the latest Apple software update. I’m currently on ios 14 and half of the travel and finance apps I NEED TO LITERALLY LIVE MY LIFE dont work. I have to resort to paying extra for a swift card online which I can’t afford in this cost of living crisis

### 1/5 — Would give 0 stars if I could

*2024-03-28, version 7.8.16*

Downloaded at the bus stop only to be told by the driver “you can’t use those tickets, those buses don’t come down this road”
So had to pay twice. 
No wonder public transport is dying in the UK.

### 1/5 — Yes we have all GOT IT

*2024-03-13, version 7.8.16*

Can someone tell the software developer WE HAVE ALL GOT IT! Every TIME I open the app I get the how to use screen! 4 times a day; 7 times a week; 52 weeks of the year and every year till I die. On my grave stone I am going to have craved HE GOT IT! 400 years later; take the crayons off the developer. Half wit!  Now asking for your address when purchasing tickets;  what are they using it for?  No look up;  type away the old way!  Can select a country from a list;  100s before you get to the Uk.  Must have buses all over the world?  What a poorly designed app.

### 1/5 — QR code not scanning

*2023-12-02, version 7.8.16*

I paid for the day saver but the QR code does not scan. I called customer service and they said I should reinstall the app. It still doesn’t scan. This is the fifth time.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever!

*2023-11-17, version 7.8.16*

I made the mistake of not checking why the app already had a 2 star review and it’s the worst decision I’ve ever made. No app this bad should be allowed in the App Store. Purchased a 4-week ticket and I’ve had to explain embarrassingly to every driver why I can’t scan my ticket. Can’t log in with my details, can’t speak to any customer service agent about the issue, filled an online form, yet no response. It’s impossible to believe there’s an app experience this bad in 2023. Just shows the company has no regard for their customers. I would rate it 0 star if i had the option.

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2023-11-02, version 7.8.14*

NX is the most unprofessional and unreliable public transport company I have ever seen.

### 3/5 — App no longer wants to work

*2023-09-26, version 7.8.14*

So I’ve been using this app since it was introduced and had a coupe of niggles with it but nothing major, but having arrived home from holiday I’m unable to load the app (blank red sceeen) so I’m no longer able to do anything, and my app is up to date

### 1/5 — Unhappy

*2023-09-14, version 7.8.14*

My app is not working I have a ticket too as soon as I click on the app nothing appears

### 1/5 — Charges

*2026-08-26, version 8.3.4*

I have been in the UK for almost a year, and this was the first time I forgot to carry my student ID. Despite it being an honest mistake, I was immediately charged £60.

£60 is equivalent to around six hours of work for me. Now, because of one genuine mistake, a significant part of my earnings is gone. I understand that rules are important and must be followed, but there should be some consideration for genuine first-time cases.

A warning or an option to show valid ID later would have been much more reasonable. Charging a student £60 for forgetting an ID for the first time feels extremely harsh. This experience was very disappointing, and I hope the policy is revised to be fairer for students.

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2026-07-28, version 8.3.4*

You buy a ticket for a week , which is by calendar is 7 days. You will only receive 6 days... Explain me that....

### 1/5 — Payzone barcode problem

*2026-05-21, version 8.2.70*

This barcode that generate for payzone payment is not working !! I tried it in alot of shops and

### 1/5 — Basically took my money

*2026-01-17, version 8.1.151*

Purchased a 1 week on the 11th of Sunday, today is Saturday 17 and it’s gone even from expired passes so stay away from this app and use Swift or something else

### 1/5 — Stupidit update

*2025-07-10, version 8.1.17*

Pointless update couldn’t even get on the bus because of it fix up

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-06-23, version 7.8.24*

I can sign in on the website but this rubbish app refuses to accept the same login details.

### 1/5 — Wasted

*2025-02-20, version 7.8.24*

Waste service in Westmidlands

### 1/5 — Horrible Customer Service

*2025-02-07, version 7.8.24*

Issues with MTicket are impossible to resolve. I bought a bus pass that was never credited to my account and was told to contact my back by the customer care agent. I did and bought a replacement pass since I still needed to move around. NXBus staff ignored the dates on both transactions and cancelled the second bus pass. Every effort to clarify the issue was frustrated by the staff because they did not want to admit that they made a mistake. The entire time I was treated like a scammer who was lying, even though I submitted evidence to NXbus (multiple times) that I paid for two tickets and they had cancelled the wrong one.

### 1/5 — facing problem

*2024-10-11, version 7.8.24*

not working in 15 pro with 18 version

### 1/5 — Usman

*2024-09-26, version 7.8.24*

My friend bought monthly student ticket from app and they deduct money from their account and didn’t authorise the ticket. Such a pathetic customer service we are trying to call but they are not picking up the call as well. Pathetic app display and pathetic customer service.

### 5/5 — NX Bus mTicket

*2026-08-13, version 8.3.4*

Perfect.

### 5/5 — Latest update

*2025-07-08, version 8.1.17*

Modernised look and feel to the app in the latest update. Simple to buy and scan tickets

### 5/5 — No issues

*2025-02-07, version 7.8.24*

Had app for a few years now and never had any issues. Tickets available for use immediately after purchase. Occasionally the scanner on the bus doesn’t work, but usually the driver is already aware of the problem.

### 5/5 — It works

*2022-03-18, version 7.8.0*

Previously payment was not taken and could not buy tickets. Seen comment relating to how it is still not working reinstalled the app to try and it now works for me.

### 5/5 — About time!

*2018-02-14, version 4.4.19*

Your slowly catching up too London , and it’s about time I actually use the bus now more because I can pay via card , before I would just get an uber. Yes I am that lazy and waste money so thanks for saving me some :) only gripe it’s small but still valid . Please introduce short hop fare to the app. 

Thank you

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2018-01-11, version 4.0.52*

Great app, allows you to purchase bus tickets instantly with a small saving on cash fare. Buy the ticket before boarding and simply show to driver via phone. Saves hunting around for change and had no problems with app so far. Recommend

### 5/5 — No more change needed

*2017-11-30*

This is very helpful for me as I never know when I am working or going out! The app is easy to use. All you have to do is select your ticked and then buy it (it’ll give you the option to save your card for future use) once you paid for your mTicket it will appear in your ticket wallet on the app all you have to do is click activate and you’re ready to go. Just simply get on the bus and point your phone at the driver. I was worried at first that drivers would find it weird and not accept my ticket but so far I’ve been using it for a week and it’s been going really well. All the drivers recognise my ticket. No problems so far.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!!!

*2016-11-10*

I have been using this app for the past week and I love it!
I don't have to look for change anymore or keep having to pull out money from the cash machine for change. The ticket is downloaded to your phone and you are good to go.
When you are using it for the first time please purchase your ticket before you get to the bus stop as you need to enter your card details. Once you have saved your card details then you can easily buy your tickets wherever!

### 4/5 — Scan QR Code Message

*2023-03-05, version 7.8.11*

An option to dismiss the scan QR Code message on app opening would be nice.

### 4/5 — The New update has now saved me!

*2022-03-13, version 7.8.0*

Keep having to buy tickets day in and day out because I always used the app previously, before they started maintenance. Since the app has finally got back into shape, I can finally get tickets worth their value. ☺️
