1. 5/5Purchased tickets with no problem!

   I was able to order tickets without making an account first, and paid with my Visa card with no problem. Confirmation was immediately sent to my inbox. I was unable to do these things on my laptop, and very happy it worked on my phone.

2. 5/5No Problems for a US Traveler

   I found this app to be easy to use, quick, and informative. I purchased tickets using my US credit card without issue, immediately received confirmation emails, and was able to easily access my tickets from the app home screen. On the day of travel, my app updated as changes to my train’s schedule occurred. I’m very pleased with ÖBB.

3. 1/5Pls reorganize data flow!

   The app needs to check if seat reservation can work BEFORE attempting to charge the credit card. We have to go through a lot of steps to confirm that we are legit users of the credit card and after that failing the entire transaction because a seat reservation cannot be made is AWFULL customer service. If some high level manager has an issue with this, You can always bring up a message that “a seat reservation cannot be made at this time” and give the user the chance to cancel. Also, but less important, if seats can be reserved in one leg of a trip (in my case Budapest to Wien) but not the second leg (was Wien to Frankfurt) then the user should have to option to make the reservation for part of the trip. Finally, IF our address info is given to the credit card company (to confirm billing address) then if the payment fails, we should be told to confirm that our address in the app should match the cr card billing address

4. 3/5Could be more complete

   Easy to buy simple tickets for immediate use. However, some trips must start within 2 hours of the valid date & time. Adding a discount is difficult, and if you reserve a seat you can’t reserve your partner’s seat where you want it. You could be next to each other or separate. Unless you buy two separate tickets. You do save money over buying tickets at the station, but sometimes the savings aren’t worth the hassle of this app. And, of course, finding schedules, etc., requires you to use the ÖBB Scotty app.

5. 2/5Good for planning, Ugly for purchasing

   The Good: Easily see many options for departure station, departure time, and price. There is a way to search with a lengthen the transfer time for intermediate train changes (the wine glass symbol in the top right corner), but it’s not a default, it must be applied for each search. The Bad: The tickets may say they are refundable, but that’s not entirely true. Standard OEBB business practice is refundable only until you download the ticket as a pdf, printed the ticket, or saved an e-ticket. The true useable ticket is more like an airline boarding pass and it’s not refundable. Also, the e-ticket is just a pdf copy on the app under My Tickets tab that requires several steps to reach. There is not a way to put any OBB discount pass or ticket in Apple Wallet. It’s best to download the pdf, save it on your phone (Folders in On My iPhone, if you have an Apple phone) in case you don’t have cell service and print a hard copy before hand. The Ugly: It’s 99.9 percent impossible to purchase anything through this app or the OBB website with a U.S. issued credit card. OBB uses a third party card processor called SaferPay. It automatically declines 99.9 percent of attempts within microseconds. My wife and I tried dozens if not hundreds of times over several weeks and were only successful twice. This with multiple credit cards, all with the latest 3-D Secure. The work around is PayPal, if you are okay with high fees and their find print trickery, or using a third party vendor app such as Trainline or SBB. I think DB might also work. Even those apps at the very end redirect you to the OBB app to download the e-ticket or the pdf (you cannot do both).
