Won’t let me register number
To use the check in and check out ticket, you need to enter a cell phone number. However I can’t click the register button after entering in the number. I suspect the form converts the format of the number and the app doesn’t recognize it but there is now way on the iPhone to change this format.
Location service is always on
The check-in feature does not work unless you have location service “always on”. If you select ‘allow location access while using the app’, the check-in feature doesn’t work. Guess this means that the ZVV is always tracking you… Also, the most recent update fails to run now. Wish I could roll back to the previous version. Good thing I don’t need to count on the app being functional.
A Zurich transit user’s best friend.
I used this app on my first visit to Switzerland and I can confidently say it was a super asset. This app will be your best friend as it both looks good and functions well. Planning any route is just two taps away with this must-have app. (Note: I was using a travel pass purchased separately, so I did not use the app to manage passes--only used for navigation.)
Frustrating
It works well, but it’s annoying that the location services don’t work unless you have set it to ‘always’. And this drains the phone battery.
Why can’t I simply buy a day pass?
