Doesn’t work

The app/website gives an error when I try to login.

Jamais eu une application aussi mauvaise

Bugs trop fréquents, impossible de se connecter facilement et donc impossibilité d’acheter un simple ticket … à fuir, privilégiez les machines/guichets en gare, c’est plus efficace !

Procédure d’achat beaucoup trop longue

L’achat d’un ticket comporte bien trop d’étapes et prend un temps fou. À plusieurs reprises, j’ai raté mon train uniquement parce que je perdais trop de temps à finaliser mon achat dans l’appli — c’est franchement inacceptable pour un service censé faciliter les déplacements.

L’ergonomie au pouce n’est pas du tout optimisée non plus. Sur un smartphone, on utilise souvent une seule main, surtout quand on court après son train ou qu’on porte un sac. Or je me retrouve systématiquement obligé de m’arrêter et de prendre le téléphone à deux mains pour arriver à valider mon ticket. Ce n’est pas pratique dans une situation où chaque seconde compte.

Il faudrait vraiment simplifier le parcours d’achat (moins d’écrans, moins de confirmations) et repenser l’interface pour qu’elle soit utilisable d’une seule main, avec les boutons importants à portée du pouce. En l’état, l’appli me fait plus perdre de temps qu’elle ne m’en fait gagner.
