Glitchy
Won’t send verification code and demanding. I updated an address that is already updated and it won’t let me go forward. This is a new problem for 2025.
Doesn’t show tickets
The app doesn’t show my tickets.
Involuntary Updates
Most people are using this app to get onto a train, so when you force an update when trying to get ticket information it most likely causes your customers to miss a train. Not helpful at all.
Complex login at worst times
It logs out every time. Requires complex login while your train is leaving. I get security, but there are several changes long overdue to support customer experience. Remember device, add face recognition, stay logged in, integrate with LastPass. Anything…
Clunky
Had to try three different payments before one would go through. Kept getting “fare is invalid” or “fare has expired” messages and had to start again.
PayPal issue
Using PayPal account is not working. I kept getting some error messages that did not make sense. Asking me to check a box when there was nothing to select.
Does the job, but needs some work
This app works fine to buy Heathrow Express tickets, and to use them - but it’s surprisingly old fashioned with some of the hurdles it makes me jump through: requiring me to enter my username and password nearly every time I reopen the app, no faceID, and redirection to a webpage to see train schedules. I still use the app as it works to buy tickets in bulk and add them to my wallet - but it’s a but clunky, and has opportunity to become easier to use.
