1/5Not visitor/foreigner friendly, subpar UI experience.
I spent almost 2 hours trying to figure out how to use this app and I give up. Even though my device is in English, only about 40% of the app is translated into English, and I use the term “translated” loosely. The app does nothing to help users understand the ticketing system or the regions. The app will not let me purchase otherwise valid ticket-starting location options. UI lacks basic things like cancel buttons for dialogs. The error messages are nondescript and provide no information on how to correct invalid inputs. You also get no information on “price level” and no guidance on how to choose it. The app collects irrelevant user information like address and displays my PayPal email (no apps do this). Relative to the importance of utility this app is attempting to facilitate, as an app developer, I have to say this is one of the worst apps I have ever used. They need to learn from the BVG app. For all my fellow travelers, just buy from the ticket vending machines at the stations. This app is for experienced local public transit users familiar with this area.

1/5Pathetic app
I initially entered PayPal as the method of payment for the Deutschlandticket. It didn’t work. Unfortunately, the app did not permit me to replace PayPal with a credit card, even though I tried to change the payment method thrice. As a result, I deleted my VRR account. They obviously don’t want your business.

1/5Problem with payment method
Tried 4 times to enter my Visa credit card to save as my payment method. Didn’t work without giving me any clue as to why it didn’t take it. Card works at their ticket vending machines no problem.

1/5Gut, wenn die App denn funktioniert
Super Idee mit der App, wenn sie denn funktioniert. Geht bei mir immer mal wieder, aber nicht verlässlich. Was bringt es mir denn, wenn der Bus gerade kommt, ich einchecken will und dann das Zahlungsmittel abgelehnt wird. Am nächsten Tag geht’s dann wieder, mit der gleichen Karte. Wenn ich mich nicht auf die App verlassen kann, ist das schlecht.

1/5Useless
Was für ein Schrott! Ich habe zwei Stunden damit verschwendet, eine Zahlungsmethode hinzuzufügen!
