Why doesn't it show journey anymore when you tap 'show journey' instead it shows a pop up on how "split save" works???? I didn't ask about that. I wanna see my journey, platform and timings etc. You have to refresh the app a random number of times for the "live tracker" to show at the bottom of the screen to show your journey. It's getting to be a bit too annoying to use now.

Hi Hashim, That doesn't sound right! Can you give us more information here > https://www.research.net/r/LNJLJBW so that we can investigate. Thanks, -Leah

This app is extremely easy to use. Time and again it helps me get tickets ASAP and it always gives me the cheapest option checking other apps. I live in the UK and use it there, but found it works in Europe as well. I was visiting spain and the ticket machines were broken. Massive line for ticketing service, waited for more than an hour and already missed two trains going to my destination. Checked the app, worked. gave me tickets immediately and was able to get out of line and right on train

I used to love this app, and now, I face it with irritation... in previous app versions, when I bought a ticket, I could go to My Tickets, click on the View Journey CTA for the relevant ticket and precise timings and platform information would come up, just like when you search for journeys. Now I'm getting zero info on platforms and have to click through multiple search walls before I find my journey's RELEVANT info... Will change this review if the app once again becomes customer centric...
