DB Navigator 4+

Good with some delay

Very happy with the application's scheduling and ticket storage. But there is a delay of updates on train delays which can and have left me hanging with difficulties to reach my destination. For example, an additional delay of 15 minutes (on top of another 10 minute delay) made me miss a bus service that could have been planned for if the application updated the train's arrival sooner. While the information, i found out later is viewed on train station screen can take some 5-10 minutes before appearing on the application.

Keeps getting worse smh

Everything about the Deutsche Bahn is corrupt and stupid. Avoid if you can, if you can’t I understand your pain. The trains are always late, unreliable and dirty like they are cleaned once a year. The tickets are way overpriced and non-refundable (unless you pay almost twice as much) which is a scam. Don’t expect any of this to get better, I’ve been here 6 years and it just keeps getting worse.

Developer response reply:

The concrete suggestion I have in improving your app is to actually improve your business model as a whole because it is trash. I take the trains each day and for years every day it has been late, which is pathetic (the train is over 20 min late as I am writing this now smh). The trains are always dirty, late, and most of the ticket collectors are in bad moods. With all of that you still overcharge us for subpar services, it is frustrating and unreliable having to depend on the DB for travel. Which wasn’t the case 10 years ago because it was always on time. As I said before it continues to get worse each year so it’s obvious there is a need for new leadership there.

Developer Response ,

Hello Mike, thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately you don't seem to be completely satisfied with the app. Do you have a concrete suggestion for improvement that will help us to optimize the app? Greetings from the Next DB Navigator Team

Deutchebahn is total scam

First of all they have draconian return policy. Meaning that you have to pay 1.5 times more to have change policy. I bought 4 tickets totaling $500 I couldn’t ride and they didn’t refund me the cost. It’s a scam.
Also if you bought a ticket that doesn’t mean you have a seat. So it’s not like you’re getting assigned a random seat. That means you can be kicked out from every place you seat, besides restaurant.
I was hoping my European train travel would be a smooth ride. Instead of it. I’m standing in the car by the toilet typing this review.
But don’t worry all those things are “expected” in you grew up here. If you’re a tourist have a great trip ☹️. Thank you Deutschebahn 🙏🏻. “Real treat” And to non Germans, avoid it at all costs.
