    It’s frustrating right now. Every time I attempt to buy a ticket, I encounter error 50003. This issue has been persistent for a while. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times, even tried using another device, but nothing changes. On top of that, it keeps logging me out, especially after updates. Fingerprint authorization would make things easier. Support hasn’t been helpful either. Overall, very disappointing experience.

    The sixth form software project really struggles. It keeps throwing out random errors. Trying to buy a ticket is frustrating, way more complicated than it should be. Just wanting to click "buy a return" isn't an option. Instead, I have to search for specific train times, which makes no sense. Accessing my e-tickets takes forever, too. The app barely works and honestly, it's pretty terrible. I updated my rating to one star on July 16, 2019. Every update just seems to make things worse. Now, it won't even save my credit card details, so I have to dig my card out for every transaction.
