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! ### 1/5 — Check-in feature doesn’t work *2026-02-02, version 2.15.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Fehlerhaft *2025-08-14* Check-In-Ticket lässt sich nicht einrichten. Frustrierend. **Developer response:** 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 ### 1/5 — KeinStern verdient *2025-07-08* 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. **Developer response:** 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 ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work for visitors *2025-07-04, version 2.8.0* 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 ### 5/5 — alex likes it and so do i *2025-05-29* i have to admit i was skeptics at first. but it really it a swooping pleasure using this app. switzerland is fine! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We are pleased that you like our app. :-) We wish you a pleasant journey, your ZVV ### 5/5 — Excellent support *2025-01-25, version 2.5.3* I found a bug in the app, got in contact, got a response and the problem was fixed with the next release. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Latest updates crash *2025-01-15, version 2.5.2* App crashes every time when searching the timetable. Needs an update. ### 1/5 — Ständige Fehler *2025-01-05* Erste Bestellung hat mich eine Stunde gekostet **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Wir bedauern die Probleme bei der Nutzung der App. Bestehen diese weiterhin? Und auf welchen Screens / bei welchen Funktionen genau? Beste Grüsse, Ihr ZVV ### 1/5 — Eine der schlechtesten ÖPNV Apps, die ich kenne *2024-12-13* Vollkommen unmöglich ein Ticket zu kaufen. Button ist ausgegraut, egal was man macht. Fast alle Links in der App führen zu 404 Error Websites. Wer programmiert so einen Unsinn? **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Wir bedauern die Probleme bei der Nutzung der App. Bestehen diese weiterhin? Und auf welchen Screens / bei welchen Funktionen genau? Beste Grüsse, Ihr ZVV ## Frequently asked questions about ZVV ### What does the ZVV app do? The ZVV app provides real-time timetable information for public transport throughout Switzerland.
