### 5/5 — No brainer to switch to train hugger

*2023-10-30, version 2.0.10*

Costs the same (on average - sometimes the booking fee is 50p more than trainline, sometimes less), and they plant a tree with the booking fee! Love the emails you get saying where the tree has been planted 🌳works just as well as other apps. I’d love it if you could share a ticket with a friend (ie when I buy 2 tickets, for my partner’s ticket to appear on his app too).

### 5/5 — first-rate service

*2023-08-03*

a great app. Also when I had to claim a refund after a rail strike, there was very helpful and efficient personal service over the phone.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2023-07-30, version 2.0.7*

Really easy to use!

### 5/5 — Intuitive and effective

*2023-06-28, version 2.0.5*

It’s a really nice way to contribute positively and save some money. I really like the ability to use Apple Pay

### 5/5 — Easy and Green

*2023-06-13, version 2.0.5*

The booking process was very easy to navigate and complete. While I would normally hesitate to purchase tickets at this price, the fact that they are certifiably planting trees with the extra money makes it worth the cost from my P.O.V.

### 5/5 — Great stuff!

*2023-05-15, version 2.0.4*

Easy to use like other services but then they plant a tree! Fantastic!

### 5/5 — Brilliant idea!

*2021-05-20, version 1.0*

I’d be buying train tickets anyway, so to use Trainhugger, pay the same price as I usually would, and know they’d be planting a tree because of that transaction - it’s a complete mo brainer! I’ll be buying all my train tickets from here now. It’s a fantastic idea. And I love the ability to keep track of the trees planted on my behalf too.

### 1/5 — Avoid these clowns

*2023-08-26, version 2.0.8*

‘80% reduction in fares’.  Absolutely not.  Categorically, 100%, not factual.

### 2/5 — Please fix sign in issue!

*2022-05-14, version 1.0.4*

I want to use this app to book trains because I love the concept but the sign-in issue (you have to log in again everytime you exit the app) is a real barrier. Please fix this!

### 4/5 — GREAT BUT - NEEDS FACE ID OR PASSWORD TO SIGN INTO APP EACH TIME

*2021-12-03, version 1.0.4*

GREAT BUT - NEEDS FACE ID OR PASSWORD TO SIGN INTO APP EACH TIME. This should be added as an urgent update

### 5/5 — the best UK train app

*2025-06-21, version 2.2.3*

I use TrainHugger for all of my rail bookings. It's very efficient and costs no more than the other apps in terms of booking fee. The bonus is they plant trees whenever you travel by rail. They also do special events like sponsoring the Massive Attack concert in Bristol, enabling a new wood to be planted and people to travel to and from the concert on special trains. Brilliant company, brilliant app.

### 5/5 — Everyone should be doing this

*2025-05-23, version 2.2.3*

I love companies with specific goals and objectives for their profits. This is a such a simple way to turn something mundane into real good.

### 5/5 — Cheaper than trainline!

*2025-03-28, version 2.2.2*

Love the Train Hugger app. Cheaper than Trainline, easy to use and plants trees as you tot up your journeys!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-01-19, version 2.1.11*

Easy to use and better prices than trainline. Love hearing when they plant a tree due to my bookings!

### 5/5 — Brilliant, simple & does good!

*2025-01-13*

Great App I I’m planting trees too. Fantastic

### 5/5 — Treeeeeee’s

*2024-10-06, version 2.1.9*

Aside from easy to use AND saving money on every journey, they plant a tree with every trip. Train travel is expensive but as an alternative to car travel with this incentive of a tree ‘I’m in’

### 5/5 — Plant trees, save time & money: what’s not to like

*2024-09-21, version 2.1.9*

As easy to use as Train Line and also plants a tree with every train ticket you buy. I love Train Hugger

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-09-02, version 2.1.7*

It works just as well as Trainline and cheaper sometimes and I love getting the email after my journey to say which tree has been planted and where 
Make a positive change today and download this app :)

### 5/5 — Best discovery yet

*2024-07-09, version 2.1.6*

I came across this company on Instagram, saw a raw footage clip of the founder(?) saying why he creates this company and I wholeheartedly agreed with everything he said and his vision stood for. I’ve bought several long train journeys through them now and it’s been like half the price of what I would usually expect to pay for that route and time of year - plus who doesn’t think we need more trees in the UK?

### 5/5 — Do the right thing

*2024-01-09*

Brilliantly simple app and doing the right thing by the planet. Double win!!
