Confusing

Don’t get it at all

App is rubbish

Bid for two seats and app later the app said there wasn’t enough seats and reduced my bid to one seat. If I couldn’t have two I wouldn’t one the remain one but there isn’t an option to not bid on the one. My bid was £50 but then I was informed I hadn’t won the bid but the winning bid was £47!

Seatfrog

The font is unnecessarily small and not expandable making it very difficult to use

Truly Trash

Made a bid on upgrading a seat then got completely locked out of the auction in the last hour citing 'internet connection'. The app was more than happy to search for any new tickets but the upgrade side of the app is now completely broken. Can't even search for new upgrades (which is the only reason to have it to begin with). An hour later it even had the gall to send me a notification about the auction I bid on. Clicked the link and predictably it was back to 'check your connection'. Still perfectly happy to try and sell an overpriced ticket from scratch though. Worthless waste of time. Rebooted phone, reinstalled app. Nothing, just useless. Seems like scam behaviour trying to sell you something that doesn't exist to get you to engage then pretends your connection is the problem

Promsies a lot, delivers little

App is all hype to get engagement and builds you up only to offer very limited upgrades, normally at not much difference from the original train operators prices
