### 2/5 — Did not work for me

*2025-05-03*

Downloaded app. Purchased one day pass. Ticket image on iPhone did not open gate. Must have done something wrong. Bought a paper ticket. Worked fine. Out $11.00.

**Developer response:** Hi, you can request a refund at customer service.

### 5/5 — UK user experience

*2024-03-11*

Was able to by 1 day passes every day for my 3 days stay in Rotterdam.
Payment is straightforward with apple /Google or Samsung pay.

This is important to know as international debit card don't work in public transport in Rotterdam and credit cards will incur extra cost.

The app doesn't quite help differentiate the RET transport (metro/tram/bus) vs national rail unless u spend some time understanding the  system and logo for each transport mode when u look for itinerary from point A to B.
