### 3/5 — Apple Pay stopped working after latest update

*2026-06-17, version 13.000.2*

I have been using the Trenitalia app successfully since June 2022 and have always found it to be an excellent app.

Approximately one weeks ago, immediately following the most recent update, Apple Pay stopped working for me.

I performed extensive testing:

• Deleted and reinstalled the app
• Restarted the iPhone
• Changed my password
• Updated my profile
• Tried while logged in
• Tried as a guest user
• Tried through the mobile website

In every case, Apple Pay launches normally and authentication succeeds, but the purchase does not complete.

Initially, manual Visa card entry appeared to work as a workaround. However, on a later purchase attempt, the Visa payment also failed and the application displayed the internal error message “label_payment_failed_title.”

The issue therefore appears to affect more than just Apple Pay.

Because the problem began at the same time as the most recent update, I suspect there may be an issue with the payment system introduced in the latest release.

I am posting this review in the hope that the issue can be investigated, because until last week the app worked perfectly for me.

### 1/5 — Impossible to log in to app

*2026-06-14, version 13.000.2*

I set up my account on the website, and using the credentials on the app does not work. Tried resetting multiple times. Useless.

### 1/5 — Nightmare

*2026-06-11, version 13.000.2*

This is the worst nightmare that any tourist may face. They can easily destroy your vacation and plans. Try to buy their tickets only when you really don’t have a choice and be ready for super delays and cancellations

### 2/5 — Buying a ticket

*2026-06-09, version 13.000.2*

This dumb app, will not allow you to buy a ticket for you and another person with out entering their entire life story. Actually evil when you are running late to catch a train… and there machines also don’t work…

### 1/5 — Too Many Glitches

*2026-06-05, version 13.300.1*

If you change a ticket it won’t update in order to add to your mobile wallet. Hides some trips if purchased on other sites. Complete garbage.

### 1/5 — Flakey

*2026-05-30, version 13.300.1*

Buy your tickets at the kiosk. When I sent to buy my last ticket the app flipped the to/from destination and I accidentally bought a ticket doing to opposite direction of what I had searched. I tested it afterwards and confirmed the app flipped the destination- I did not make a mistake. Trainitalia refused to issue a refund. The app sucks. Use the kiosk.

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2026-05-29, version 13.300.0*

Unacceptable

### 4/5 — Works well for researching travel and purchasing tickets

*2026-05-15, version 13.200.5*

Used this to purchase tickets on relatively short notice, saves you fumbling for change and waiting in line at the ticket machine.

### 1/5 — barely functional

*2026-05-14, version 13.200.5*

you can’t search you can barely make an account this app doesn’t work

### 1/5 — very unreliable

*2026-05-12, version 13.200.5*

login rarely works, finding existing reservations rarely works - the app is just a mess and not a useful travel tool due to numerous issues - I'm unsurprised because their phone and eMail based customer support is a disaster and the website is too simplistic to even allow managing existing bookings - just a terrible experience across the board.

### 1/5 — Does not work error codes

*2026-05-11, version 13.200.5*

In 2026 the Ai is there for people to utilise and here we are still dealing with apps that cannot even open total joke of an app

### 2/5 — Keine Sitzplatzreservierung möglich

*2026-05-11*

Für Interrail-Passinhaber ist es immer noch nicht möglich, buchungspflichtige Reservierungen für Sitzplätze zu kaufen. Bei DB, ÖBB und anderen Gesellschaften ist das problemlos in der App möglich. Bei Trenitalia geht’s in der App gar nicht und auch anders nur auf Umwegen. Absolut schlechter Kundenservice.

### 4/5 — Funktioniert aber könnte besser

*2026-05-10*

Noch immer kann die Suche nicht offen bleiben, ohne dass man gekauft hat. Nach einer Minute Inaktivität muss man die ganze Suche wiederholen, was sehr nervig ist, wenn man bloß (die bereits angezeigte!) Verbindung noch kaufen will
Edit: Probleme nach Update 13 mittlerweile behoben

### 1/5 — Cher

*2026-05-04, version 13.200.4*

Since update , I can’t log into app and all my history , purchases, tickets are gone . Ironically it has all my searches but nothing else . 
What is someone supposed to do !

### 1/5 — Cannot log in

*2026-05-04, version 13.200.4*

Used to love this app. Now I can’t log in. I do not use a VPN, have used both cellular and Wi-Fi, and reset my password MANY times. I can log into the website without issue, but there’s always an error with the app.

### 1/5 — Nuova app non funziona

*2026-05-04, version 13.200.4*

Non vi era alcun problema con la vecchia app. Invece avete rilasciato una nuova app che non porta alcun vantaggio e anzi non funziona.

### 2/5 — Di male in peggio

*2026-05-04, version 13.200.4*

Come peggiorare una app già non particolarmente efficiente, in cui è impossibile salvare la propria carta di credito e per comprare anche un solo biglietto da un euro bisogna completare un processo infinito inserendo ogni volta nome cognome ragione sociale numero carta data di scadenza etc. etc.? Si rendono i passaggi più lenti, con un tempo di reazione di circa un minuto per procedere da una pagina all’altra, col telefono nuovo e il 5G. Questa - al di là della nuova grafica - è la principale novità dell’ultima versione dell’app Trenitalia. Congratulazioni.

### 1/5 — The new version crashes

*2026-05-03, version 13.200.4*

The version that was updated in May 2026 or end of April crashes every step on the way and doesn’t work properly

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-05-02, version 13.200.4*

Can never log into app. Always says password is incorrect and have to reset it. Just use a web browser. This is useless!

### 1/5 — App (and website too, for that matter) are complete garbage

*2026-08-22, version 13.500.0*

App and website will not accept new passwords and will not accept payment for train tickets.

### 1/5 — A pain

*2026-08-12, version 13.500.0*

The app is ok when it works, but periodically and most recently after the last update, it just doesn’t work anymore. Last week, I wanted to buy a monthly ticket, but suddenly I could only buy the weekly one. So I did, because I had to take the train, but after the purchase the app just crashed. I tried reinstalling, but to no avail. And of course, once you purchased a weekly ticket you cannot ask service support to fix the issue and buy the monthly one: after waiting for about 30 minutes at the phone, the obvious answer: we can’t do anything about it. Good job!

UPDATE: I went to the info desk and was told to reset the email. It was a pain and even after doing that, the issue remains. I was also contacted by the developer and told the issue had been fixed, but guess what?  Nope! Not working!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-07, version 13.500.0*

You can’t even track your train outside Italy. Will stick to Trainline to book my trains

### 1/5 — Fix this please and put the old prices back!

*2026-08-06, version 13.500.0*

You guys raised the prices of trains and your app isn’t even working…

### 1/5 — Garbage for the most part as is the website

*2026-08-02, version 13.500.0*

Garbage for the most part as is the website

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-07-22, version 13.400.0*

It charged my card after trying 3 different payment methods, said I already bought a ticket but didn’t give me a confirmation or ticket. But it seems everyone agrees it’s a joke including the train staff. Does Trenitalia seek to be an international laughingstock?

### 1/5 — Schade, dass der Ticketkauf nur bis fünf Minuten vor der Abfahrt möglich ist.

*2026-07-13*

Es ist super, dass man Busfahrkarten vom/zum Flughafen sowie Zugtickets kaufen kann. Allerdings ist das nicht mehr möglich, wenn der Zug in weniger als fünf Minuten abfährt. Dann bleibt nur der Ticketautomat. Bis das Ticket ausgedruckt ist, dauert es eine Weile. Wenn sich zusätzlich noch eine Warteschlange bildet – zum Beispiel in Desenzano, wo es nur einen Automaten gibt – dann viel Spaß beim Warten auf den nächsten Zug.

### 1/5 — Access?

*2026-07-06, version 13.400.0*

It would be a really handy app if they had some of the bugs ironed out like being able to log into your account.

### 1/5 — Cannot purchase tickets

*2026-07-02, version 13.400.0*

App does not fully function like most of the country

### 1/5 — Nate

*2026-06-23, version 13.400.0*

I can't even select s country when making an account, had to go on the website and I can't change the time of my ticket because it keeps saying ticket not found after correctly putting my ticket number and email in the retrieve ticket option.

### 5/5 — So easy but sooo good

*2026-05-20, version 13.200.5*

This just makes travelling by train in Italy so easy ! Decide which train you want, buy the ticket, get on the train and go. No need to worry about validating ticket, or getting a €200 fine if you forget. And when you want to head back, again find the option you want, buy the ticket, get on the train and relax.

### 5/5 — Si parte!

*2026-04-21*

È molto bello viaggiare con Trenitalia!

### 5/5 — Careful with changes!!!

*2025-09-16, version 12.600.0*

A horrible experience happened to me because I booked a train ride with one change. Turns out it’s not two trains. One of them is a bus and surprisingly passengers are supposed to take their own means of transportation to the station where the change takes place. So the first “train” time doesn’t actually mean anything. At the ticket office we couldn’t get a refund because they claim that the phrase Urban Transport means a bus 😰

### 5/5 — Easy to use.  Works really well.

*2025-09-08, version 12.600.0*

If you're traveling in Italy and plan to travel by train, this is a must have.  Note:. Only for Trenitalia trains.  Not Italo or other trains which have there own app.

### 5/5 — Follow instructions or it won’t work, really.

*2025-05-27, version 12.300.0*

Ok, after installing the TrenItalia app, you must register in the app and then close it.
Go to your email and confirm and it will assign you a “user” name, probably your name with a period between the first and last name.
BTW, there were no options to choose USA, America, or North America if you live in the US, so I just chose Canada. 
Then open the app and login with the user name they assigned you and your password.
Now the app should work well.

### 5/5 — It works again with ios 18/18.1

*2024-11-18, version 11.800.0*

Great app we use it frequently.

### 5/5 — Klappt sehr gut und ist einfach !

*2024-10-23*

An sich finde ich diese App sehr gut. Man kann, einmal registriert, sehr schnell buchen. Seine Reisebegleiter kann man auch einfach hinterlegen, dann ist der Ticketkauf noch schneller. Es werden auch immer die günstigsten Preis und Alternativen angeboten - TOP

### 5/5 — Top

*2024-04-13*

Fahrplanauskunft und Ticketkauf waren super easy und übersichtlich. Hat die Reise sehr erleichtert :)

### 5/5 — Sehr gute App, einfache Bedienung

*2024-03-28*

Super App, klappt alles ziemlich easy. Man muss nur wissen das man den Downloadcode kopieren muss und dann in „Meinen Reisen“ aufrufen muss (Check in).
Ansonsten werden sogar minutengenau die An-& Abreisezeiten der aktuellen Fahrt angezeigt. Also wirklich Tiptop und Daumen nach oben;)

### 5/5 — Einfaches Reisen durch Italien

*2024-03-28*

Ich kann die negativen Rezensionen nicht nachvollziehen. Seit Tagen reise ich durch Italien, und diese App vereinfacht den Kauf von Tickets erheblich. Es tut was es soll. Zudem ist die App sehr übersichtlich und einfach zu bedienen.
