Then you press for a link to new password and no link is sent? Absolutely ridiculous and scandalous prices ### 1/5 — Can’t sign in!!!! *2026-05-27, version 1.3.02* I’ve cannot sign in or change the password. This is so annoying. ### 1/5 — cant reset password or buy tickets without jt *2026-05-18, version 1.3.02* so bad. get it sorted. hire some young smart developers and designers, pay them well and listen to their feedback ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2026-05-07, version 1.3.02* Won’t let you log in, won’t send you a password re-set, this app will create an existential crisis for all its users as it steadily convinces you that you don’t exist and perhaps never did. Don’t use this app if you want to go anywhere ### 1/5 — Utterly abysmal *2026-04-30, version 1.3.02* Translink should be ashamed of themselves for subjecting the NI public to this app. Ulster has suffered enough! ### 1/5 — useless *2026-04-19, version 1.3.02* this app has tenfold the issues of the previous app. no way to reset password from old app and no way to make new account without a new phone number. i simply want to be able to purchase a ticket before getting on the bus why must i have an account to purchase an adults single. i’d understand for a ylink but this is ridiculous ### 1/5 — Waste of public money *2026-04-18, version 1.3.02* This app is embarrassingly bad ### 1/5 — Worst transport app in the world *2026-04-16, version 1.3.02* The user experience of this app is a joke. It all starts when you have to scroll through all the stations instead of just typing in where you want to go. Then it gets worst. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2026-04-15, version 1.3.02* App logged me out for no reason. Couldn’t remember my password, tried to reset it and it doesn’t work resetting it on the app. So now I can’t use the app at all and will have to go back to buying my ticket elsewhere. Please fix ### 1/5 — Do the developers of this app own a computer?? *2026-03-24, version 1.3.02* This app exemplifies everything that is wrong with NI public service. Unfit for purpose from the top down. Used public transport apps throughout the UK & Ireland this one is hands down the worst. ## Frequently asked questions about Translink mLink ### What types of tickets can I buy with Translink mLink?
