Ratings and Reviews
Unspecified Error Messages
This app often gives “unspecified” error messages. These messages need updating with specific text so you know what the issue is.
The app also needs to be able to tell you when the whole Smartcard network is down for maintenance or upgrade as it has been on a number of occasions.
Works but still has a glitch
Validating the smart card is straight forward enough, and it seems to work better than it did when first brought out.
However, even when validation has been successful, it still shows an error message “sorry, we’re unable to read your Smartcard” - I know now to ignore this message because when I go through the process again, it says it has already been validated!
In summary, it works but can be confusing from the messages which pop up.
Terrible system
App on iPhone 12 Pro always struggles to read the smart card and after several attempts to “Load ticket” (NOT the “Activate ticket” option) it activates it anyway without asking.
With a flexi season ticket, the only way to check how many passes you have left is to load the smartcard on this app. Why don’t they show this information online where you purchase the ticket?
The cynical in me thinks this is a known bug that they have no incentive to fix it. You cannot unactivate it.
