### 1/5 — Not a good German experience

*2022-11-13*

As a business traveler for the US, I’d expect this app to run as well as their trains. Unfortunately this app is buggy and often unresponsive - especially when you need it the most, the need to open the ticket you already purchased.  I’ve taken to grabbing a screenshot of my ticket as to ensure I can show the porter on the train. But even from the hotel with good Wi-Fi this app can be buggy and a frustrating experience.

### 1/5 — Walking distances and times wrong

*2021-05-30*

Trying out sprinti planning in Springe region, the app gives crazy routes with several km walking distances timed at minutes. Suitable stops seem to be based on the times, not the distance. Suspect a bug mapping driving times to walking method.
Walking times in town also crazy- 3.6 km in 12 minutes? With setting walking speed SLOW?? 
At most MVP to play with on the couch.

Not competitive with apps if other European public transport providers.
