Summary

This mobile app generally receives negative feedback, with users experiencing numerous persistent issues. A major pain point is the frequent disappearance of 'favorites' (stops and schedules), which many users report occurring after app updates in October and September 2025, and specifically after the iOS 26 update. While the ability to recharge OPUS cards is often cited as a useful feature, performance issues such as slow loading times and inaccurate real-time schedules are common complaints. Users also express frustration with unreliable mobile ticketing options and a lack of advanced itinerary planning features.
