Still stuck in the noughties- No offline mode!!

Load up a journey and want to keep it there for reference- no chance. After quite a short while this app cleverly deletes the information - so if you’re somewhere like on a tube train where there is no WiFi or 4g guess what?: You can’t check your train times and the app is as good as useless - genius!
National Rail: These days (2018) many apps have an offline mode these days. This is because developers have realised that even today, not every cubic centimetre of your country or city has a healthy mobile or WiFi signal. There are still places where you can’t go online (such as on a tube train It takes very little memory to store information like train times on a phone so you can access it offline - very little. Please move with the times and sort out this schoolboy oversight!!

Simply awful

This is one of the most dreadful apps I have ever used the layout is unclear payment tabs are virtually hidden nothing here is remotely unintuitive. In addition to a highly user unfriendly layout the underbelly of operation is equally bad. There is no Paypal option required a convoluted and frustrating entry into the horror story of my account after many attempts to even teach the log in page. Credit card details have to be repeatedly entered and saved in several places again and again you buy one ticket with the card then go thorough the ire inspiring process yet again to buy a second ticket (why can’t you buy two at once I ask myself?) and it telly you the card you just used is now suddenly invalid. This app needs completely junking with a fully functioning replacement which is easy to use, clear and offers fast payment using PayPal. It is a miracle I actually managed to buy any tickets with it today it is a challenge I will not rise to again - too slow, too laborious, too much hassle. I do not recommend it.

Tech is fun and exiting but...

You have a job, should we say ”a purpose” to get people from a to b on time.
You can blame funding, scheduling and leaves, but the rest of the world is achieving this ”purpose” with much older system and similar restraints.

So before you embarrass yourselves any more. Pretty please with cherries on top make the trains run on time, then and only then think about app technology. You see you've been in the train business for a long time, and you are, for want of a better word...s@#t at it, in fact globally renowned for being s@#t at it.
So what makes you think that overnight you can turn your hand to apps especially when for a measly (4.99 you can stop the adverts)we have a clear understanding of its purpose, which is not to offer a service, which is clear from the UX, you may or may not understand this reference but this is ”the homer” of apps, I don't blame the agency, because if you had any sense you'd have let them get on with it. I do blame them for helping you waste money.
