Nothing works

Trying to plan our trip to Switzerland and all the resources online point to downloading the app and buying a Swiss Travel Pass through the app but nothing seems to be working. Constant bugs and errors with cryptic error messages. I had to verify my identity by uploading a picture of my passport and then nothing happened. Everything is unclear. How is there only 9 reviews and they are all negative? Something is seriously wrong, feels like the app was made by a devshop in India for very cheap or something.

Worst trains in Europe

Hilarious how much this company charges for tickets when their track layouts are so screechy you literally have to block your ears when they arrive, the AC is constantly not working in the middle of summer and the WiFi is completely unusable (though they still have the gall to ask for your mobile number to verify their useless 6 mb/s internet). The best way to describe the experience is stingy

Not getting SMS to buy Swiss pass

App UI is confusing

The SBB app looks better than many government transport apps, but the UX is still confusing. Important details like platforms and departure times are harder to find after buying a ticket, even though they are clear before booking. The app also lacks clear navigation and feels cluttered when managing tickets or routes. The app also feels super engineered, with too many layers and features making simple tasks more complicated than they need to be. SBB should improve the UX and UI to make the app simpler and easier to use.

Perfect!

The application works perfectly for what you need and is very user friendly. As a traveler, I think this app stands out compared to the surrounding countries.

App is Horrible!

Good for planning, terrible for purchasing. Refused repeatedly to accept a Visa card or Apple Pay to purchase transportation tickets. Technical support is nonexistent.

Einfach nur schrecklich!!!

Keine Bahn-App auf dieser Welt kann irgendwas. Aber diese ist besonders schrecklich. Null Sterne ist leider keine Option.

Response from developer

Guten Tag. Danke für Ihr Feedback. Ich bedaure Ihre negativen Erfahrungen. Leider enthält es zu wenig konkrete Informationen um Ihnen eine valide Antwort zu geben. Bitte ergänzen Sie das Feedback. Was sind Ihre Wünsche, an eine Bahn-App, die SBB Mobile nicht erfüllen kann? Danke für Ihr Verständnis. Freundliche Grüsse.

Excelente Aplicativo

Pra quem está viajando pela suíça esse aplicativo é excelente e indispensável.

Make “cancellations” clearer

We’ve been trying to use the app while there have been “cancellations” leading us to use different routes and panicking about buying the right tickets. When the app lists a cancellation it doesn’t mean you can’t get there, it means there is a rail replacement bus. So not cancelled. We didn’t know this and thought we had to take a stupid route to get to our destination and buy mulptipke different tickets for buses, trams and trains. PLEASE make it clear when a cancellation means a bus will be taking you rather than it actually being cancelled.

Can’t purchase tickets

Decent app to make reservations but it won’t allow international credit cards apparently. Even through Apple Pay it doesn’t work with my US credit card. It just gives a generic error that it couldn’t charge the card. I’ve traveled all over Europe using this same card and this is the only app/website that gives me problems. I’ve tried at least a dozen times. I tried many months ago and then again today. Sad

ヨーロッパの鉄道系アプリで1番かも

とにかく便利でした
アプリのインターフェースにストレスがなくスイスパスを使ってスイス国内を周遊できました
ホームと時間を調べるのが簡単で、しかもスイスの鉄道は時間に正確なので助かります
駅名の候補を出してくれるので検索しやすいです
スイス旅行の際はインストールをおすすめします

Does not work

Can’t buy a ticket with a credit card card that works fine anywhere else. Can’t create a swiss pass login. Doesn’t explain what the issue is just says to try again later

Corp Account gelöscht

Wieder mal eine grandiose Leistung der SBB Entwickler. App Update und mal schnell ist der Corporate Account im Portemonnaie gelöscht. Bravo!

Hallo. Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Ich bedaure Ihre negativen Erfahrung. Wir geben jeden Tag unser Bestes, damit SBB Mobile Ihr zuverlässiger und damit wertvoller Reisebegleiter ist. Freundliche Grüsse

Inefficient

Eating all the battery after update. Phone dead if using this app…

Response from developer

Goog day. Sorry to hear that. Try activating Bluetooth only while actively using EasyRide, as constant Bluetooth scanning may significantly increase battery consumption on some devices. Thank you for your understanding. Kind regards.

Cant create account

“Unexpected error” keeps happening

Response from developer

Hello. Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience creating a SwissPass login. Creating the account is not part of the app; it’s simply used to log in to the app later on. You can also create a SwissPass login directly at swisspass.ch (via your device’s browser or a PC/laptop) and use those login credentials to log in to the app. Best regards.

Worst buying experience ever

It is impossible for a foreign that is coming for a business meeting to buy one simple ticket using the app. It is insane
