Ratings and Reviews
No Apple Pay
The app itself runs just fine but prepare for some inconveniences. The app doesn’t have Apple Pay support despite using Apple Maps for location purposes. You have to register to use the app and then sign up for a Hungarian online banking system developed by OTP Bank called Simplepay. It’s anything but simple. Why share your card information when you can pay directly from your phone? Everywhere I’ve been in Europe they accept mobile payment, sometimes even on board of the bus or tram. Budapest has over 3 million tourists a year and this app is not really useful yet alone easy to use for them. For route planning you can use Google maps and you can buy tickets at the ticket machines (which many stations have) so I would not recommend this app unless you really looking for the 30 or 90 mins long tickets which you can only buy through this app.
Not useful
App looks ok, not the friendliest design for the user but its not terrible. Thats where my positive review ends.
Imagine being in 2022 and you still can’t pay for a ticket with apple pay. After taking 5min to register you can’t buy a ticket, the payment gate freezes and the payment does not go through resulting in wasting your tike and missing your bus the first time you use it. 2 of my friends have the same problem.
It would be great if a city like Budapest had a a application where you can buy a ticket for public transport. But I think people responsible for this app were probably busier with giving it 5* rather than fixing it.
Developer Response ,
Thank you very much for your feedback, we are constantly improving our app, we will pass on your insights to our colleagues! We hope that after the improvements you will be more satisfied with the service.
Terrible UI/UX and scammed by the airport shuttle
Absolutely horrendous UI, the app has terrible integration with any payment methods. I had to fill an unhealthy amount of personal information and passport number just to buy a multi day ticked.
I bought a 90-minute ticket thinking it'll be sufficient for an airport shuttle bus, since it's marked as a standard public transport line (100E). Unfortunately, I learned that the shuttle requires a separate tickets for triple the standard ticket price.
Developer Response ,
We are sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your feedback.
