### 1/5 — Took the money but didn’t give me a ticket

*2025-11-10*

Paid for a train from Derby to York and it took my money just fine but even 30 minutes later the ticket never arrived. Left me standing there for hours, shameful display

### 1/5 — Going Downhill

*2025-10-03*

Used to use all the time .  Now awkward, clunky and missing out trains and connections.  Not worth bothering with

### 5/5 — Ms cawley

*2025-06-10*

Any time I have needed to contact staff they are always brilliant. So pleasant and helpful

### 2/5 — 2008 Level

*2024-11-26*

This app is truly awful. It is clunky, has virtually zero functionality and is slow. For some reason you can no longer book first class on the app. To do that you have to go to the website, which looks like it hasn’t been updated since 1997.

### 5/5 — Easy to use App

*2024-07-13*

Easy to use and select the tickets for my journey. I use for all my rail booking

### 5/5 — One of the best

*2024-06-14*

Always got great prices, simple to use and no charges!

### 3/5 — Too simple with very little information on purchased tickets

*2024-06-12*

I downloaded this app thinking that it would be similar in layout perhaps to that of Train line. I’ve been disappointed however and am unable to request refunds on it like I would elsewhere. Shows only tickets if they’ve been purchased as e-tickets. A bit more information please such as allowing refund requests to be made.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2024-03-18*

Bought tickets for a train which was cancelled. Was told the cost to claim money back would cost more than the original cost of the tickets.
Extremely impossible to make contact to sort this.
With the unreliability of trains at the moment, I won’t be buying tickets through redspottedhanky again.

### 3/5 — Fix your bugs

*2024-02-22*

Sometimes just refuses to work and gives errors

### 4/5 — App is fine, customer service is top notch

*2023-11-18*

While the app is pretty basic and not as slick as some of the competitors, I have found the service from Red Spotted Hanky to be excellent. I have had a number of occasions over the years where I have had to change or refund tickets due to user error and the team are always quick to respond and super helpful.

Review drops a star as paying with Apple Pay is a bit problematic and often requires a few tries!
