Pros and cons of Trainline: Buy train tickets app for iPhone and iPad

Trainline: Buy train tickets app good for

Like: - switch for return journey - search history - journey détail Love: - timetable generator

One of the best apps. I use. Clear screens, easy to use, gives all relevant info. and choices, recommend highly.

Adding the missing platform information would make this app perfect.

This app makes it so easy to book tickets. Very well-arranged.

Have used this app a few times overseas to book a train and it always was easy and quick and good to check on the go as well.

A great app that we used on our trip to the UK. Helped us keep our prices down

Some bad moments

The application does not inform the customer basic information such as the ticket price for children that are traveling with an adult.

Obviously its important to know the platforms to go. I have to laugh when I press plan journey and theres not even informations on what platform the train is. With the time its the most important information!!

In principle a nice app that works fine and does what it is supposed to do. However, it is not at all optimised for iPad which is a pity. Also, it doesnt tell you anything about platforms. Quite annoying as this is very basic and would be as useful as it is important.. Optimise it, add platforms and itll get 5 stars!

Constantly comes up stating theres a connection error, no matter what search criteria I use.

I use this app both on iPhone 5s and iPad mini 2. After I updated both two to iOS10, only on the latter doesnt work in spite that it says that the latest version is compatible to it. I am in trouble with the mobile ticket to travel. Awful!!

Customer service is non existent. They provide no contact information and God forbid you try to get a hold of them or get a refund they will gouge you for every little thing along the way! They care about profit not customer care. Please heed my warning. Just terrible. £13 per minute to call £10 Admin Charge on refunds
