- Bug fixes - Minor improvements

User reviews

Frustrating

This app could be so good, but it’s so temperamental when it comes to payments. It says that the payment has failed about 50% of the times I buy tickets. I’ve even bought a ticket on it successfully then tried to buy an additional ticket for my child and it’s rejected my second payment. Live chat say there is a bug and I need to keep removing and reloading my payment details. It’s just too frustrating, I’ve gone back to buying a ticket on the tram platform…

Bad QR codes

The app doesn't work on an iPhone. It creates QR codes that won't scan. I've tried the app twice, and twice it failed. I'll just use the NCTX app. I'll delete this one.

Response from developer

Sorry your ticket wouldn't scan. That's frustrating, especially twice. We took your review seriously and tested scanning on several devices over the weekend, but couldn't recreate the issue. On iPhone, a few things usually sort it: turn brightness up to maximum, wipe the screen, and hold the phone flat and steady with the QR code facing the bottom of the green reader. If you don't see the green tick straight away, slowly move the phone slightly closer or further away until it reads.

Regional Live Data

It has a friendly interface. Good real-time transit status: buses, ebikes. As far as I’m concerned there are no moving icons for trams and trains. Not a big deal, but to have the bigger picture, would be good if you could still see all the moving transit Icons when zooming out few more levels.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! We’re actively reviewing how we can incorporate NET and train live updates in the Ride app. If you notice anything else, please share it via Account → Help us to improve.

Live Tracking is Fake

Advertisement claims the app can track buses live, which is not true. The 34C has a diverted route on university campus but the ride app “tracked” the bus on the original route. The app claimed the bus was across campus when it arrived at my stop.

Response from developer

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. While Ride does track in real-time, your feedback has highlighted an issue when deviated routes are being used. We will look into this as a matter of urgency and will update you via our blog (transportnottingham.com) on options and our approach to resolving this matter. Thank you for your feedback!

Getting better all the time

Live bus times and it even shows you the bus positions on the map! Outstanding.

I live in Derby and work in Nottingham and this app along with the eventual joined up ticketing is going to be a game changer.

Response from developer

Thank you for the review! It's great to hear the Ride app is working well for you!
