Revolutionary

Honestly what an amazing app! For once, there’s an app that’s better than Google maps! It was sooo helpful for all travel throughout Zurich, even better than the SBB mobile app. It’ll not only tell you where to walk on an interactive map, it’ll tell you what platform and different times and gives you live updates of where your bus and train is! I wish all cities had an app as good as this!

Check-in feature doesn’t work

The check-in ticket slider feature is currently nonfunctional. When attempting to configure it and register my U.S. phone number, I do not receive the verification text message required to proceed.
Additionally, the application takes a considerable amount of time to determine my location, which proves inconvenient when trying to purchase a ticket quickly.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the inconvenience. We’re aware of the SMS verification issue with US numbers and are working on a fix. Please note that the speed of location detection depends on the quality of the GPS data the app receives from the device, which can vary by location and device. Best regards, your ZVV

Fehlerhaft

Check-In-Ticket lässt sich nicht einrichten. Frustrierend.

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid, dass es beim Einrichten des Check-In-Tickets zu Problemen kommt. Bitte wenden Sie sich unter 0800 988 988, contact@zvv.ch oder direkt über den Chat in der App an unser Support-Team, damit wir uns persönlich um Ihr Anliegen kümmern können. Beste Grüsse, Ihr ZVV

KeinStern verdient

Extra zu Hause installiert und 10er Ticket gekauft, nur um dann zu merken, dass Haltestelle Bahnhofsquai in der App nicht gibt und Kreditkartendaten nicht gespeichert werden. Zustand der App wie vor 35 Jahren.

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für Ihre Rückmeldung. Es tut uns leid, dass Sie Probleme mit der ZVV App erlebt haben. Die Haltestelle Zürich, Bahnhofsquai/HB ist in der App grundsätzlich vorhanden. Auch die Speicherung von Kreditkartendaten ist in der App vorgesehen. Es könnte sich also um ein technisches Problem handeln. Wir würden dem gerne nachgehen und helfen – am besten wenden Sie sich an ZVV-Contact (unter der Gratis-Nummer 0800 988 988), damit wir die genaue Ursache prüfen können. Beste Grüsse, Ihr ZVV-App-Team

App doesn’t work for visitors

If you don’t have Swiss pass it just makes you enter your name and birthdate repeatedly without allowing you to buy tickets.

The bus’ payment machine was also broken so we spent 5 minutes trying to buy a ticket delaying everything

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback – and sorry for the inconvenience! Purchasing tickets is also possible for guests without a SwissPass. Having to enter your details multiple times, combined with a broken ticket machine, certainly shouldn’t happen. We take your feedback seriously and will review how we can improve the user experience. Best regards, your ZVV
