### 4/5 — Doesn't accept amex

*2026-05-08*

If you try to enter an amex number, it doesn't complain, just pretend you're still missing a digit.   Won't allow you to store a credit card until you buy your first trip, but tickets last for 90 days so it's probably not a deal breaker.  Not much in terms of when to activate tickets (like, does staff need to see you do it - appears they don't).  Also, doesn't keep the security code, that's silly

### 1/5 — Requires account

*2026-04-03*

Lack of Guest login option. Forcing to open an account

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. If you wish to buy a ticket without creating an account you can do so on our website https://www.thamesclippers.com/ . Please keep in mind that season tickets and carnets are only available in the app.

### 2/5 — Dilapidated app

*2025-12-22, version 8.2.1*

Doesn’t remember your login, no Face ID.
Alongside this you are dealing with exorbitant ticket prices and ticket inspectors who need evidence that your 8 year old child is a TfL travel card holder. No common sense used at all.
Boats are packed despite more users than ever (mainly down to popularity of Battersea Power Station).
The problem with this is that you have to activate a ticket BEFORE joining a queue to board… so if you give up on boarding a boat due to queues then you have flushed money down the toilet.
The actual experience on the Clipper is great… the rest of it is pants… and this app needs basic modernising.

### 4/5 — Doesn't accept amex

*2025-11-10*

Won't allow you to store a credit card until you buy your first trip, but tickets last for 90 days so it's probably not a deal breaker.  Not much in terms of when to activate tickets (like, does staff need to see you do it - appears they don't).

### 2/5 — Circularity Bug

*2025-09-08*

App keeps asking me to download the app to see live schedule!

### 1/5 — Cannot trust the capacity info

*2025-08-23*

The capacity info says ‘Quiet’ yet when the boat arrives there is not enough room for us to board. :-(

### 1/5 — Why Hide The Timetable

*2025-07-06*

Terrible redesign

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We listened to our users and created a journey planner to make it easier for our passengers to check the timetable on the go. But we understand that some people prefer to see the whole timetable, so we have brought it back and can now be accessed from the menu. We hope this helps.

### 5/5 — V8.0

*2025-06-11*

The latest update to the app (V8.0) is a very welcome update. The changes to the UI and UX has made it so much easier to use the app. 

And bringing real time departure and capacity information to the your personal phone is very welcome.

**Developer response:** We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We're happy to hear you're finding our app useful.

### 5/5 — Uber upped their game

A total game changer for the best of London travel. The ease to get tickets and see departure times is a vibe. Impressed.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-06-05*

Really love the app. It’s easy to use and makes planning my journey so simple. The Where’s My Clipper feature is my favourite,being able to see where the boat is on the map is such a game changer 🫶
