Summary
The app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to persistent issues with app performance, including frequent loading screens, crashes, and general slowness, which often render it unusable. Users also express significant frustration with payment and funding processes, citing declined transactions, inability to use debit cards, and difficulties uploading funds. Additionally, problems with account access, such as being logged out or unable to sign in, and critical issues with Apple Wallet integration (like disabling physical cards or transfer failures), severely detract from the user experience. While a few users reported the app to be reliable and effective for their needs, the widespread complaints highlight a critical need for improvements in stability, transaction reliability, and core functionality for transit users.
