Good

Easy to use

Omg

So glitchy and hard to use

Pathetic excuse for an app

Freezes every time you go to plan a trip

Why cant they develop one app with all the features?

Multiple apps but still i had to use web to buy tickets.

Do not use

Their activation process is abysmal and there is no way to cancel activation or to import pre purchased tickets. There is a meaningless 5 minute timer in which you can not even cancel activation
