US Phone Number Doesn’t Work

I’m sure the app is functional if you have an Icelandic number, but I’m not able to input my US number as it keeps putting it in Icelandic format. Every part of the app requires me to put in my number, but it won’t accept it! Sadly won’t be able to use this on the trip, but I’ve heard you can use credit/debit cards to purchase tickets on the buses

Það vantar valmöguleika fyrir farmiða fyrir öryrkja út á landsbyggðina

Góðan dag. Það mætti bæta við valmöguleikanum til að geta keypt farmiða fyrir öryrkja sem hægt er að nota til að geta farið út á landsbyggðina. Það er óþarfa pappírssóun að þurfa að kaupa farmiða sem eru úr pappír. Kv. Brynjólfur. Það má líka hefja aftur sölu á farmiðum í gegnum strætóappið þar sem klappið virkar ekki alltaf.

Great idea, poor execution.

The app idea is great. Makes riding the bus even easier. However, app needs a phone number to confirm ticket purchase and even has a note to put 00 or +(country code) for foreign numbers. App will not accept US phone numbers. So was not able to utilize app at all.

Also, app needs optimization with how much internet speed it needs. I have roaming data which allows me to use Apple maps, Google maps, Pokemon Go, and other things. But Strætó app won’t even load unless I am on wifi.

Junk, apps in 2008 ran circles around this heap

It won’t send me a message.

It refuses to take my phone number and keeps going in and out of English and Icelandic, it’s buggy and Super frustrating to use!
