Summary

The mobile app receives predominantly negative feedback from users, largely due to critical issues introduced in recent updates, particularly version 8.0.0. Many users report the removal of crucial transfer and arrival time information, making route planning for connecting trains nearly impossible. Furthermore, common complaints include persistent "Internal Server Error (PARSE)" messages, frequent crashes, and widespread dissatisfaction with the separation of timetable and ticket purchasing functionalities into two distinct apps. While some users appreciate the app's overall reliability, detailed information, and live map feature, these positives are frequently overshadowed by significant usability regressions and technical faults.
