rubbish app-doesn’t work-don’t waste your time

This app asks many questions, makes you fill too many forms of registration, and never completes payment! I bought my tickets from the machine

Response from developer

We’re very sorry that your ticket purchase clearly didn’t go as smoothly as it should have. Over the past few days, several issues unfortunately came together that may have affected your experience: for a short time, payments with US credit cards were unavailable, and yesterday our payment service provider experienced a widespread outage. 🥴 Regardless of these incidents, we are aware that there is still room for improvement when it comes to registration and the first purchase flow. We are actively working on making this faster and more seamless. Kind regards, your WienMobil Team! 😊

Avoid Vienna

Highly recommend avoiding Vienna. I got shaken down by security for a “fine” payment at a subway station, even after paying the fare. Unless you’re planning on paying over €100 for no reason I’d stick to Budapest or Prague.

Response from developer

Please note that a ticket purchase is only successful when the ticket appears in the “My tickets” section of the app and you receive an email order confirmation. If a payment fails or no ticket is shown, no valid ticket has been issued. If a ticket purchase has actually taken place, this is clearly traceable in our system. In that case, any unjustified fine can be refunded at any time. Please contact us at support@wienmobil.at and we will reliably review your case. Your WienMobil Team!

Peu fonctionnelle

Cette appli se bloque tout le temps. À chaque fois je suis obligée de la désinstaller et la réinstaller pour pouvoir acheter mes tickets.
Je n’ai pas d’explication pour les blocages. Ça se produit n’importe quand. L’appli fonctionne et 5 minutes après elle ne fonctionne plus. Et c’était comme ça tous les jours. J’étais parfois obligée de la désinstaller plusieurs fois avant que ça ne fonctionne.

Hello, we are sorry you're having trouble with the app. 😔 Could you please share a bit more detail about what causes it to crash? You are also welcome to contact us via email at support@wienmobil.at. Thank you very much and have a nice day! Your WienMobil Team!

Geniale App für alle Wien-Besucher

Sehr übersichtliche und benutzerfreundliche App. Zu den gewählten Startpunkten/Zielen werden in kürzester Zeit verschiedene Routen vorgeschlagen, dazu wird jeweils eine Karte mit der Streckenführung angezeigt. Trotz aller Begeisterung noch ein unverschämter Wunsch: Vielleicht könnten auf der Karte noch die U-Bahnstationen zur Orientierung angezeigt werden. Dafür würde ich in der Bewertung noch einen 6. Stern reinbasteln :-)

Anmeldung fehlgeschlagen

Aus irgendeinem Grund kann ich mich nicht in die App einloggen, und das bereitet mir große Probleme, weil ich eine Jahreskarte habe. Was soll ich tun, wenn mein Ticket kontrolliert wird?

Response from developer

Hallo und Entschuldigung für die Umstände. 😔 Bitte kontaktiere uns unter support@wienmobil.at. Wir helfen dir dann rasch weiter! Liebe Grüße, dein WienMobil Team.

Lacks basic functionality

This app lacks support for essential features, e.g. telling you which ticket is needed for the travel - something that I’ve never seen missing in other cities. Also, the length of the log in process and consequently time wasted is out of proportion to just buying a single ticket.

Response from developer

Hello and thank you for your feedback, we’re happy to take it on board. Comments like yours help us continuously improve the app. These aren’t just empty words, but something we genuinely mean. 🤝 Your WienMobil Team

I store my digital annual pass

If I could add the annual pass to my wallet, I’d be equally happy. I got my annual pass in the mail & was pleased to see it was already registered to the app.
It is nice having a backup of the card

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and are pleased that you had a positive experience.

Not user friendly

You have to spend 30 minutes filling out information before you can buy a ticket

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We are already working on significantly streamlining the registration and purchase process. Kind regards, Your WienMobil Team

Lack of privacy

Requires a totally unreasonable amount of personal data just to buy a bus ticket. Lame.

App got us fined

The 7 day pass does not make it clear that it does not include the single stop between the airport and the “city zone” we were each fined €105 for a €2 ticket we were supposedly missing. The app makes no mention of where the city zone ends when purchasing the ticket. Really put a downer on the whole trip. Overall we feel scammed.

You can do better

Buying a ticket is an absurd experience, seemingly designed to test your patience. One of the worst UX I’ve seen in a long time

Response from developer

Hello, you're right: There's still plenty of room for improvement in the purchasing process, especially the first time with registration and entering your basic information. We're actively working on it and hope to offer you a much smoother experience soon! Thank you for your honest feedback!

Benachrichtigungen

Benachrichtigungen sind gut was die Auswahl der Linen betrifft, wenn aktiviert kommen die aber IMMER, 24 Stunden (auch wenn ich schlafe!). Man kann zwar die Zeit eingrenzen (Settings), aber man nicht einstellen das die Nachrichten nur dann kommen wenn die App offen (in Verwendung) ist. Man kann zwar alle Störungen anzeigen, aber die Auswahl der Linen (unter Benachrichtigungen eingestellt) greift dann auch nicht. Also habe ich die wieder abgestellt, man sitzt ja nicht 24/7 im Bus/Tram. Sonst gut und notwendig - speziell die Zuklin Bus fahren fast nie nach dem Fahrplan (Aushang).

Not all of us can get 16.0

So sort this out. Used to be a great app but now we‘re locked out.

Response from developer

Hello! We understand that it can be frustrating that our app now requires at least iOS 16 (current version: iOS 26). Updating the minimum requirement is necessary to keep the app secure, stable, and up to date. Many of the features and security measures we implement today are unfortunately no longer supported on older iOS versions. We’re aware that this change may be limiting for some users - which is why we only make such adjustments when truly necessary. As an alternative, our web version at www.wienmobil.at remains available and works on older devices as well as other operating systems.

Great app!

It works very well and it’s very convenient. The only issue I find is I cannot buy the ticket for and from the airport.

Kauf umständlich

Einfacher Ticketkauf sehr kompliziert und hürdenreich. Übersicht der App (Linien, Verbindungen…) durchschnittlich.

Prachtige app

De WienMobil app was ontzettend handig voor tickets te kopen en te navigeren met het openbaar vervoer.
Ik zou het elke inwoner of toerist aanraden!

Intrusive

Extremely intrusive app. It forces the user to register with another app, it requests birthdate, names and other information that is NONE of their business. You can always enter false information but then, what is the point of even using it. Pay cash.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We understand that entering seemingly unnecessary information can be annoying, especially for tourists. We’re working hard to improve the app and make it more user-friendly for visitors.

Typisch Europäisch

Wer einmal zB in Süd Korea am öffentlichen Nahverkehr mit App Unterstützung teilgenommen hat, weiß was hier fehlt: Umfeldbeschreibung an den Bahnhöfen, Umsteigebeschreibung zB Austieg in Fahrtrichtung oder vorne oder hinten. Die App sollte im Beisein der Entwickler von einem nicht Großstädter getestet werden…. Die hier im Schnitt vergebenen zwei Sterne sind gerechtfertigt.

UX from 2009, I struggled

1. The app uses location but doesn’t prepopulate it to the start of the trip
2. The app defaults to discounted child tickets and at first didn’t show the standard option, took restarting it to get it
3. It required registering via a web view, out which there is no way to log in after confirming the email. The email was recognized as spam and I had to search for it
4. After successful registration, I had to fill out a long address form to complete the purchase of the ticket. Why collect if you’re not going to use it? This should be illegal.

Looks like the app was contracted for cheap. These days you can make this kind of apps better with AI…
