What permissions does SBB Mobile need and why? Location For connections from your current location, the GPS function must be activated so that SBB Mobile can find the nearest stop. This also applies if you want to have the nearest stop displayed in the timetable. Calendar and e-mail You can save connections in your own calendar and send them by e-mail (to friends, an external calendar). SBB Mobile requires read and write permissions to be able to import your desired connection into the calendar. Access to the camera SBB Mobile requires access to your camera to take pictures directly in the app for your personalised touch timetable. Internet access SBB Mobile requires internet access to search the timetable as well as for ticket purchases. Memory To support offline functions, e.g. station/stop list, connections (history) and purchased tickets, SBB Mobile requires access to your device’s memory (saving app-specific settings).

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SBB Mobile at 61% against TAXIS.CH's 0%. SBB Mobile also leads on ratings volume (75 vs 2). TAXIS.CH's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TAXIS.CH holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SBB Mobile has 75 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of SBB Mobile's written reviews are positive against 0% of TAXIS.CH's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
