It was great before the last update Now there s no day pass options and some of the single trip options are missing I have to buy tickets from the machine as it s Cheaper than using the app It was great before Cola480
With the December update the app decided to delete my personal payment method without any notification and change my primary payment method to my company credit card Turns out all my train purchases from the past month have been going through the wrong card Having to apologize to my company for a mistake this app made is ridiculous With every app update it gets more frustrating to use Check your Payment Methods the.amazing.chocolateer
The newest version refuses to let you buy any ticket as soon as the train is scheduled to leave even if the train is late This is particularly annoying with class upgrades There are many mornings it takes a few minutes to realize there are no seats in 2nd class I would happily pay to upgrade my to first class but the app won t let you as of the second the train is SCHEDULED to depart There is no accounting for late trains and no grace periods for class upgrades Please let me give you my money More money for SBB and no more journeys spent miserable and hot standing in 2nd class Need more time for class upgrades SwissAir is the Worst
Due to a connection error a ticket was purchased twice The app does not provide any support contacts and the email sending the ticket is invalid I was hoping that mobile would be a priority and that customer support matters here as well App ok but no support ChefkochZ
In the latest update zone extension tickets are no longer possible This would be fine if my profile knew what kind of monthly pass I already have Instead I now have to input an itinerary for only the stops that font cover my pass so I can buy the appropriate ticket For example I have a ZVV pass that covers the city of Z rich If I want to travel from Z rich HB to Langnau Gattikon I have to input an itinerary from Z rich Soodober Leimbach to Langnau Gattikon Then I can buy the ticket that covers the missing zones But this is very complicated Usually I want to know the schedules from where I leave Also I often don t know at which stop the zone changes requiring me to look up a zone map Basically this is way too complicated What would be easy is that the app knows my ZVV pass and never asks me to pay for zurich city zones even for an itinerary starting from Z rich HB No more zone extensions AlpTek
Please SBB make the app remember its state for more than 1 minute Every time I want to check the time of the connection that I looked up just few minutes ago and I go back to the app I have to search again Please fix that Certainly not a RAM limitation iPhone 7 Great app just 1 minor flaw jansoucek
Used this app for a 3 week trip around Switzerland Italy and Spain The app accurately shows train schedules and was very handy for us to use getting around Great for at least several countries nprguy
Having just returned from a trip where I relied heavily on the excellent Swiss rail syste I would recomend this app without reservation It was a huge help in planning travel and getting from place to place the times are reliable and it has a number of nice features like being able to save trips and get reminders Especially useful if your German or French is rudimentary Amazingly effective Drfloon
Blows all US transit apps out of the water The best transit app in the world Coldmode
can t save templates for tickets that I buy every other day have to go through the process every time forced to enter password on every ticket purchase should use finger print map functionality is incorrect most times Wrong location for bus stop no directions within large train stations does not allow to link in 1 2 travel pass so I have to get it out every time Not creative and rigid zero fun to use Very poor app functionality Swisspetel
Well designed app easy to use and well updated Recommend highly the user experience is excellent Excellent intuitive fast bn1511
Very very easy So easy to use Excellent service Train jockey
Great App Use it every time I am on vacation in CH Makes traveling with the family very convenient Best Way to Travel in Switzerland Auntie JFrei
The touch interface is pretty and easy to use even while rushing to the train station The app contains all relevant real time data I do wish that it would remember your search time and date between searches while the app is open Buying a ticket works perfectly so easy and quick Excellent everything you need and a lovely interface Hippo Green
Covers all public transport Great app for planning a trip commute in Switzerland Hansel12345xct
For somebody who lives in Switzerland and uses the app occasionally it is ok However it doesn t give you any option to purchase international tickets The DB app is much more advanced and more intuitive My opinion not worse downloading Lack of functions Fridaybuddha
You just type where you want to go and it shows you the steps to follow in a very user friendly way Perfect for the tourists Carlosph20
The best train app I have used A must for travelling in Switzerland best train app armanbn
Very simple to use user friendly Great application AyglAygl
Great app Use it every day Touch timetable is excellent Outstanding Zuribild
Fantastic job and thanks for continuous smart updates Just great Martin 10012
This app is a must have for many reasons It simplifies the process of buying train tickets and is incredibly user friendly I am surprised it isn t a paid app given the stellar quality and reliability Excellent app SBB App Buffalo tamer
Easy to use and reliable Great app The2ndCool1
Crashes from time to time slow to load search results Ok but not reliable Jake44567
Tried multiple times to redeem a promo code after choosing the ticket the app crashes the purchase does not go through I tried with another iPhone and the same happened Please fix Crashes after entering promo code Mouhyy
old app was better incompetence doesn t even begin to describe SBB IT department favorites are gone barcode scanner gone history gone no more force touch instead we get the moronic tiles buggy gantenbeyn
Das neue Interface finde ich super Sehr schnell und intuitiv Tickets ber dir App zu kaufen funktioniert perfekt mittels TouchID ABER Nach dem j ngsten Update zeigt die App keine Verbindungen an und es gibt h ufig die Fehlermeldung 504 Das R dchen dreht und dreht trotz Internetverbindung und kann anscheinend keine Verbindung zu dem SBB Server aufbauen Sehr sehr nervig Fehlermeldung 504 usobs30
In my case without being able to buy a bicycle day pass ticket this app became useless as I need to go now to an automatic vendor machine and don t hope to buy such a ticket online on the SBB desktop site using a 4 or 5 inch screen as recommended by such ignorant SBB staff 5 years back Some traveler
I am trying to use the application and the server is suffering You can feel it How did they decide to allow an update as this without making sure that they had the right server response The app seems to have good ideas but if it is not usable then what is the point Lots of bugs Chelas
I don t want to store my card or address details in your system Don t want to have to put them in each time either Please add a he Apple Pay button so both my card and personal info can each time go into your system automatically Please add Apple Pay button option Robert Huebi
This latest update causes the app to crash and close as soon as it opens Nothing I do seems to change this and therefore it is completely broken and useless Crashes immediately when opening Hobbes1987
Convenient for purchasing tickets and good UI UX but bad for when your ticket gets checked in the middle of a tunnel ride with no reception Apparently the ticket checking workers have not been informed about the obvious lack of reception in a dark tunnel affecting the ability to load my ticket on this app Patience from the ticket workers would be nice I got a rude lecture and loud sigh from the ticket worker who was annoyed and didn t understand why she needed to wait a few seconds for my ticket to load in the tunnel between Visp and Bern Also while for security purposes having to sign in every time I use the app is understandable it s frustrating in situations above They should have a feature that keeps you signed in unless a person deliberately logs out Difficult to show ticket to ignorant ticket workers in low reception E12abeth L.
I used this for my whole trip and it never let me down I heard other travelers complaining about other apps This one had up to date info with warnings changes highlighted in red and even included al public transportation Coolest part was that it even told you were you were on the train route so you could keep track of how many more stops before yours Very good app Life saver and time saver Amazing accuracy Ht333
Very useful to find train schedules and buy tickets and use on the train in lieu of paper tickets Doesn t let you buy a travel pass though Nice yaro obba
Incredibly difficult to use Not user friendly Difficult to find what you re looking for Not user friendly Eddy8362
This new update 5 1 for SBB doesn t open with my older iPod Touch with OS 6 1 Wish I can revert back to the old app so I can still access the timetables Doesn t Open MaBarIV
Im really tired of finding a route on the local trams in Basel then clicking farebuy to find that the stations Basel claraplatz are not found Please fix this so that I can buy TNW tickets from the timetable I regularly travel with my family It would be helpful to save their names and birthdates Not much has changed in the last year still terrible usability and I regularly buy actual tickets with cash rather than deal with trying to buy tickets on the app Routes not found for purchase
Why the feature FareBuy does not working Please fix the farebuy bug Good but needs some improvements
What a fantastic application Can browse entire European timetable
This app looks like it will come in handy during business trips to Switzerland One comment I wanted to make is that the departurearrival toggle switch is color coded opposite that of the iPhone settings where typically blue indicates the active selection Cant Wait To Try
You dont need a chip card to find and buy tickets for any Swiss public transit Works for bike supplements halfprice cards local metro upgrades the whole nine yards Search the national schedule pick a train bus cable car etc and order a ticket against the CC you have on file Issues an eticket barcode right on your phone Just dont run out of battery because that will make it hard to prove to the conductor that you really did buy Limitations Wont sell international tickets although does a good job with timetables If you need local bus or metro it wont sell you a ticket until you search the route from the main station to main station but then you can buy alternative tickets local upgrade upgrade origin local transit upgrade destination local transit or both Easier than the platform vending machines faster than waiting at the counter
This app would get 5 stars easily if it worked properly all the time The timetable function alone makes this very useful app Since the last update odd things happen 1 Take Me Home button does not work Instead it only searches based on the last location searched 2 Timetables work for the remote stations that I travel to but FareBuy always returns with station not found Significantly annoying Please get this fixed Needs big fixes since last update
It is a very usefull App and it is very detailed Awesome
I just LOVED it Thats why writing a late night review while still in Switzerland If you dont have a data plan like me I looked up all my routes in the hotel the night before and took pictures of the timetable schedules that I can pull up offline anytime Mid you enter arrival and departure cities and time if you want the app gives all the train timings with connections and where to change platforms platform numbers etc every so many minutes Very simple and easy The changing platforms are usually next to each other so take the train right across and the times given are usually few minutes apart thats why I love the app and the Swiss transport system Mostly the trains have same times weekdays and run about every 2060 minutes depending on the route The timetables at the stations and the little timetable books given at the station as well as the tourist information services are awesome Awesome App cant do without it in Switzerland
This is a great tool if you travel within Switzerland Easy to use and accurate A must if you travel in Switzerland
I have had this app for a while but it proved its value this past weekend I was stuck out of the country during the European flight stoppage due to the volcanic ash and was able to use this app to help me get back home Not only was I able to see what my train options were but it also provided me with real time updates on the status of the train This came in very handy during the last leg of the journey when the conductor kept making announcements in French that I did not understand I checked the app and by checking the details of my train schedule I found out what was going on the train was so delayed that it was going to be end its route as soon as we arrived in Basel Switzerland instead of completing the journey to Zurich The app even had the information of the train that I was supposed to take to finish the journey This app is a must for anyone living in or planning to visit Switzerland Excellent App
Used to love this app Worked perfectly Now I get lots unknown error occurred please try again later messages when I try to search for a route Also has trouble finding the right station and the timetables dont work consistently Hopefully they work the bugs out I used to depend on this app as Im new to the country Used to work great
The agents on the train have neither knowledge nor sympathy for you if you have an issue with this app The tickets purchased on the app are not as flexible as those purchased at the ticket office which are good for 10 days So dont be lazy buy your train tix the way you always did and just use this for schedules and info Use for info only not purchases
When purchasing tickets under iOS 7 it will ask to enter a password but there is no input box Its a pity that an app issued by the swiss federal train entity doesnt feel the need to update it Purchasing tickets not working
pretty useful in overall I was just wondering why an app like that wants access to my address book interesting
I HAD to leave Chamonix to Geneva today couldnt spend another night I thought No problem Ill just use my handy SBB app to see when the last train to Gare EuxVives is See Geneva EuxVives is always SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than Geneva Cornavin The app told me and when confusion arose I showed it to 3 people including the station agent in Chamonix to make sure I wasnt crazy that the last train was at 1803 Only problem was the app failed to recognize the date was a Sunday The last train to EuxVives left an hour before that Result I had to spend 150 US on tickets for two to Cornavin that would normally have cost about 60 to EuxVives More than double Thanks a lot SBB for your POS app Warning This app can cost you a lot of money
It is one of the best apps I have ever used so fare Download it without hesitation Excellent
This app is essential for any Swiss person Works fantastically Essential
Good for certain things but very buggy otherwise Purchasing tickets especially for the ZVV network is a nightmare Buggy
Leider erlaubt das App nicht Tickets von der Schweiz nach Deutschland zu kaufen Da ist heutzutage eigentlich sehr schade Keine Tickets nach Deutschland
Essential for travelling by Train in Switzerland We used it for a month and it worked great Suggestions it would be nice it the schedules could be accessed without needing wifi or data roaming Also it would be great to be able to narrow search parameters to only include trains that take bikes that wouldve been helpful for us anyways One more thing A map of the specific train to show where the 1st class2nd class carriages are as well as where the bike carriage is sometimes its a separate carriage sometimes not so you know where to stand on the platform Loved it
Thiapplication is very usefull you can eaven see where the train is situating Very usefull
I used to rely heavily on this app now it is almost useless It always shows all departure times as NOW for all trains I have deleted the app rebooted my phone reloaded the app to no resiolution Great when it worked
Closses in the beginning after afew seconds Shame Cant start the program
Wollte schon immer pushnotifications Danke und weiter so Push
easy to use nice app
I used this app on a business trip and it worked great I didnt purchase tickets on it because I had a Swiss rail pass also great because it covered everything including boats I travel around Basel and out to Berne Lucerne and Zurich with this app just doing a little preplanning The main thing in switzerland is to find the trains last stop and for tramsbuses make sure you are going in the right direction Tramsbuses have a lot of the same numbers just opposite directions Would recommend Great app
Addition So after several more month of usage nothing has improved Ease of use is still not provided In hope of some of the developers reading this Ill leave a german comment Der Kauf von Erweiterungstickets bei der ZVV ist eine Katastrophe und funktioniert nur wenn man weiss welche Station die erste in der neuen Zone ist Andernfalls bekommt man immer ein Standardticket von der App angeboten I use this app regularely While i wouldnt want to miss it simply because buying tickets without the need for cash which is still mandatory for some regional trams or busses i cannot say that im happy with it The app is slow and buying things like extension tickets is just crazy complicated As is buying tickets for other passengers Please improve usability and this app will be great Great idea a nightmare to use
This is a must if traveling in Switzerland via trains I found it easy to use and accurate Lifesaver
Easily figure out routes quickly from place to place
I only wish there was more than one take me home address to save in the app Makes my life so much better
The app does what it should show train times But the interface needs updating All your other apps have a nice modern interface why does this one not Also it is a shame that you cant see the price of the train ride without a login I dont have a credit card so I cant create an account and have to load up the full website to see the price Could be a lot better
Very easy to use loads results quickly Nice history feature
This app saves my life all the time Great
This is the first time I find myself writing a review about an app but this app really asked for it Four different problems within one week each answer from customer service made even less sense than the actual problem and made this app even more useless Worst app ever Great potential very poor build No connection between online purchases and mobile ones No international travel purchase option for a country surrounded by Germany France Austria and Italy mind you Credit card issues additional traveler reduction fare problems Dont want to know whats next This app is removed now Worst app ever
This application is fantastic the 30 update of it really nails it Purchase of ticket directly over iPhone on air is just flawless Fantastic
This app lets you easily buy Swiss rail tickets in English with your saved CC info The conductor scans the ticket barcode right from your iPhone Avoid ticket counter lines and navigating all the different Swiss languages Doesnt support buying special packages eg RailAway Bellinzona castle trip or let you buy a half price card to go completely paperless Includes train schedules and estimates for how full each segment will be Simplify Swiss travel
The idea behind the app is great and even the user interface is decent although could certainly be improved What kills the app however is its complete lack of stability It crashes all the time cant connect to the server or times out When that happens not even a restart of the app helps the phone needs to be completely rebooted My train ride is 20 minutes and thats about how long it takes to buy a ticket Useless Great concept poor development
Many times searching for peakhour trains like Zurich HB to Luzern for 5pm the app will say sorry there are no trains at this time Searching the same route at sbbch gives you 5 diff train routes at least This app needs to be improved Many bugs
Does not work after latest update Does not work after latest update 45
Ive just returned from a vacation in Switzerland and this app helped us find what time the trains were I mostly used it to see schedules and fares And then I purchased the tickets from an agent or a machine After boarding the wrong train a couple times my girlfriend and I decided to ask everyone we could if we were on the right train Agents also would provide extra info this app could not like that one trip is more scenic than another etc these details are important on vacation This app helped a lot and was always right about train arrival and departure times Also the gates and fares were 100 correct I really dont understand the difference between timetable and deparr Many comments seemed to be saying train times were wrong and this was my experience until I realized you should ALWAYS use Timetable Very helpful on my vacation
This is a good app much better than the first version which never auto updated really bad idea However why not take this all the way and allow me to purchase a ticket directly from the app and support viewing the ticket like MMS and PDF does Lets go make it happen take it all the way
Great app It didnt offer all the routes that the web offers Also could only buy a single ticket rather than two for my traveling buddy Keep it coming
Best way to find train schedules in Europe All the euro rail websites are useless but this app nails it Good interface Great having intineraries saved to the ipod for reference while jogging to the connection Super handy
This new update 51 for SBB doesnt open with my older iPod Touch with OS 61 Wish I can revert back to the old app so I can still access the timetables Doesnt Open
Works fairly well most of the time especially for timetable searches However it is unreliable for ticket purchases Stranded me last night on a Mobilis ticket way across town with unknown error Time to step up your game guys Stranded me a few times
This app links with my online account and lets me buy an electronic ticket The schedule is fast accurate and allows great route planning I love it I only wish that you can purchase multiple tickets for other travelers with you It works extremely well
