### 4/5 — Please support apple wallet

*2026-06-28, version 6.6.12*

Thank you

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2024-12-29, version 6.6.5*

Registrierung eines Zahlungsmittels nicht möglich

### 1/5 — 6er Mehrfachkarte nach 4 Fahrten nicht mehr verfügbar

*2024-11-29, version 6.6.4*

Meine 6er Mehrfachkarte war bereits nach 4 Fahrten in den abgelaufenen Karten, und konnte auch nicht mehr ausgewählt werden

### 4/5 — Online Zugang

*2024-09-04, version 6.6.1*

Leider ist es immer wieder / noch unmöglich, aus Deutschland neue Karten zu kaufen. Entwerten ist kein Problem. Bin ich in der Schweiz, gibt es das Problem nicht.

### 2/5 — Stellt den nervigen Hinweis ab

*2024-03-16, version 6.3.2*

Eine an sich tolle App, aber seit dem letzten Update werde ich jedes mal beim Öffnen darauf hingewiesen, dass ich 20% spare wenn ich Mehrfahrtentickets kaufe.
DANKE! ICH HATTE ES SCHON VORHER VERSTANDEN. 
Die Nachricht nervt! Bitte stellt das ab.
Von daher nur noch 2 Sterne bis das beseitigt wird.

### 4/5 — Spracheinstellung funktioniert nicht

*2023-04-13, version 6.3.0*

App tut was sie soll und ist zuverlässig in der täglichen Nutzung. Allerdings gibt es ein Problem bei der Sprachwahl: die Sprache wird nach jedem App Start auf die Telefonsprache zurückgestellt. Meine Telefonsprache ist Englisch, TNW würde ich aber gerne in Deutsch brauchen. Da gibt es aber offenbar einen Fehler, der meine Auswahl immer wieder übersteuert. Wäre schön, wenn das behoben würde.

### 5/5 — Prix

*2023-03-20, version 6.1.1*

Un peu Cher

### 5/5 — Love easy app

*2022-09-20, version 6.1.1*

This is a very easy to use apps, keeps my tickets accesible.  Thanks.

### 1/5 — Zu viele Bugs

*2022-04-22, version 6.1.0*

Stürzt ständig ab

### 4/5 — Gut

*2021-11-05, version 6.0.0*

Finde die App gut und ganz praktikabel. Es funktioniert alles wie es soll und ist recht anwenderfreundlich. 
Ich konnte bisher leider keine Erklärung zu den Abgrenzungen der Zonen in der App finden und dass man für eine Auskunft über die Fahrzeiten in eine andere Anwendung abspringen muss finde ich etwas umständlich alles in einem wäre natürlich schöner.
