### 1/5 — Couldn’t purchase ticket

*2026-03-03, version 2.1.7*

Attempting to purchase a ticket opens up SMS, which then just responded with an error.  SBB app worked to purchase a ticket though.

### 1/5 — poor service

*2025-09-19, version 2.1.7*

trams are so often late coming home from work, also drivers often do dangerous manoeuvres (like starting moving when people are on the road)

### 1/5 — An app to be ashamed of

*2025-06-30, version 2.1.7*

Dear developers,
Have you even tried to use this app?  Way to take a simple task and layer on complex and unnecessary information.
TPG, you do know that other app agencies exist, right? You went from 5 stars to 1 with this “improvement” and you have showed your customer base that you don’t care whether or not they have a positive experience or not. 
Time to get a bike

### 1/5 — Worst public transportation app ever

*2024-07-29, version 2.1.5*

As a tourist in geneva this is useless… The paper map is useless as well. Impossible to figure out where bus stops actually are. Please go to holland and learn what a public transportation app should be. I’m shocked

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-03-03, version 2.1.5*

Terrible app.  Why did TPG replace the old app with something that they clearly did not test.  Trip planner now gives bizarre, illogical suggestions.  Live tracking at a given stop is illegible - options don’t appear in chronological order.  Terrible.

### 1/5 — It’s a Downgrade not an upgrade

*2024-02-13*

This new version of the app clearly did not go through user experience testing. Bugs and crashing aside, this app has added unnecessary complexity and unhelpful features. If I could revert back to the previous version I would do so immediately. The developers should rethink this one…

**Developer response:** Hello. What bugs have you encountered with the application? What functionalities do you find less useful? Thank you for your future feedback and collaboration. Best regards.

### 1/5 — Confus et complexe

*2024-02-06, version 2.1.4*

La version antérieure était un modèle de simplicité et facilité d’utilisation. Cette version est lourde, manque de réactivité et présente les informations d’une façon confuse. Pourquoi distinguer les lignes de trams et de bus, le tram n’est tout de même pas un métro. Vous avez un meilleurs temps à utiliser Google Maps si vous avez besoin d’information rapidement.

### 1/5 — Old version was much better

*2024-01-22, version 2.1.4*

Before v2 it was stable and the ability to pick a stop on the itinerary of a departure and then see the departures at THAT stop for your arrival time was brilliant for working out connections. All gone. Now unstable, inaccurate, and hard to use. I tried tpg+ and that seems even worse. What went wrong?

### 2/5 — Bring back the old features

*2023-12-21, version 2.1.4*

No longer shows live connections which was super useful. Features of the previous version was much better and functional

### 1/5 — Truly terrible update

*2023-12-15, version 2.1.4*

It would appear that the user has been wholly ignored in this redesign. The UI and UX have been sacrificed for greater but way more complex functionality that simply does not work on a phone screen. For example text and buttons are way too small. Although packed with functionality, it is almost impossible to decipher the logic behind the UI, leaving the user not only squinting at tiny text but also desperately trying to navigate the system. It would appear that functionality from the previous app has been ignored and therefore I would imagine the app has been built without understanding the user and their needs and expectations. This is a monumentally bad update. Get a UX consultant and listen to what they tell you.
