What's New in VRN eTarif

1.35.402

October 1, 2025

Stabilitätsverbesserungen

User reviews

Only works with German phone numbers, apparently visitors are not welcome at the RVN.

Requires. +49 phone number to create an account. Unusable if you have a non-German phone.

Can’t register

Sounded great but can’t register with UK address.

Grauenhaft

Wie man so eine miserable App unter die Menschheit bringen kann, ist nicht zu erklären. Schauderhafte "Benutzerführung", komplett missraten in jeder Beziehung. Alles läuft schief/anders als man es erwarten sollte. Die Entwickler solllten a) entlassen werden und die Nachfolger sollten sich mal Google Maps/Uber/usw ansehen, wie man eine Verkehrsapp heute macht. Oder noch besser: keine x apps und nicht funktionierende websites/apps von VRN/RNV/RMV usw machen lassen, sondern - wie überall auf der Welt - in funktionierende Verkehrsapp (Citymapper usw) integrieren.
