Why duplicate?

This app looks very nice, slick modern interface. But apart from the new wake up feature and moving everything around, how is this different than the existing Train Times app the National Rail already put out? They seem to have the same functionality.

Worst App Ever

I do t know where to begin. I would say that monkeys wrote this app, but that would be an insult to monkeys. When you click on 'tickets' to purchase your tickets, the app rarely finds a route even though the app itself has selected a route to and from your destination. After the app says it cannot find a route, it wants you to re-enter your travel info on a completely different screen. Once you do so, the app hangs and you have to exit the app and start this loop all over again. If, by some miracle, you advance after you click the tickets button to put in your seat preferences, etc., once you enter your email address and click "continue as guest", the app hangs. Why yes, I have tried registering. The app does not think my phone number is legitimate, which means you cannot register. I am trying to buy round trip tickets to Exeter. The app has been hung for the last 34 minutes. In 10 days (I installed the app 10 days ago), I have only been able to purchase tickets once. Horrible piece of work.

Recent update ruined it!

This app used to be decent. Easy to use. Would store frequently checked stations so you could see live trains at the touch of a button. Now it’s more fiddly: have to choose stations from a drop down menu & there’s no longer an ‘earlier trains’ button which is key if you use it as I do to track when a train left the station… Very disappointing!

App stuck and can't purchase tickets

I was able to make a purchase of one ticket which several times to do before it finally submitted. When I tried to do another purchase, I clicked tickets, picked my time and then hit buy now and kept being taken back to the results from my previous purchase. Tried refreshing, reload downloading the app and neither of that worked. Giving up on the app
