The app doesn’t work in U.S.

UPDATE #2: I just did the app update and now I’m back to my original issue below. The app is broken again.

UPDATE: I reached out to SNCF on Facebook Messenger and they responded with an apology for the broken app issues. The app now seems to be working as before. The lack of communication on their website and the system answers here in the App Store are frustrating. But I’m glad everything is working now.

I downloaded the app a few months ago and it worked fine. Now it won’t work at all. I know the standard response is to contact SNCF through Messenger with details…which I have done. But there are plenty of complaints here. It is not working in the US and apparently not in Canada either. The latest updates have made the app useless for us.

Unusable update

Keeps loading. Literally cannot be used to book tickets. Now what?

Useless in English

If your tickets won’t validate or account screen wont load, change the language of the app to French in the settings of your phone and everything will work just fine. Switch back to English and you’ll have all your tickets loaded. This is an ongoing problem that they are too lazy to fix.

Broken Again

The can’t connect / spinning bug was fixed on August 5th. The app worked fine for 3-4 weeks but is now broken again today, September 7th. Could you please review what’s changed since August 5th and fix it permanently!

A major problem!

Sometimes the app works. Most times it does not!

Terrible doesn’t work

When I go to book a train and pay it changes the time and I now can’t book the one advertised and it does this on every ticket

New version never connects

Terrible. Put in a destination and you get a spinning wheel for eternity. Changed my wifi, tried it on data, restarted my phone. Nothing. Even if you try their annoying AI help that refers to itself as a person, no answer. 100% fail.

Not fixed …App still doesn’t work

Cannot get past customizing notifications permissions… just keeps spinning…can’t import train tickets I booked for France. The website is much easier to set up account and access tickets from there.

Always glitchy

I genuinely have no idea if someone vibecoded the backend but there’s always issues with either importing tickets, retrieving information, or even using their support function. It just doesn’t work.

Unusable

App does not work. Cannot proceed past the notification consent screen.

Notification Screen

Can’t get past the notification screen. I click accept or reject or custom and nothing happens. App is unusable for some reason.

Efficace

Facile à utiliser

Trains and Ter

Really perfect 👌

Nothing is this bad unless done on purpose

If I am sent to hell I fear the journey between the circles will be booked by SNCF

Data mining

Makes buying a train ticket as difficult as possible, wants to know the names and date of birth of all passengers, which appears as an error when you think you’ve put in all the details. Coming from England, where were think it’s pretty bad, this is saying something.

Translate please…

Have attempted many times to have correspondence language fro this company changed from French to English — however, for over a year now every email (from inOui / SNCF / SNCF Connect) is NEVER in English. Have sent messages, emails, and tried to phone — but still no joy. VERY FRUSTRATING…!!!

Pas mal

J’ai réservé à partir de Montréal pour Reims, j’ai trouvé que c’était pas mal malgré quelques petits trucs qui auraient pu être plus User Friendly de l’application, sinon, merci!

Needs a little more information

Finding the correct train and platform in a busy terminal can be stressful for tourists. The information regarding the train in the app/ticket only shows your destination not the final destination that is displayed on the information boards eg the train Brussels to Lille is shown as Strasbourg, so having that in the app would be ideal. Having the actual platform, if possible would be perfect.
