SBB Mobile App Reviews

pretty useful in overall, I was just wondering why an app like that wants access to my address book?!?!

This is the first time I find myself writing a review about an app, but this app really asked for it. Four different problems within one week - each answer from customer service made even less sense than the actual problem and made this app even more useless. Worst app ever! Great potential - very poor build! No connection between online purchases and mobile ones. No international travel purchase option (for a country surrounded by Germany, France, Austria and Italy, mind you!). Credit card issues, additional traveler reduction fare problems. Dont want to know whats next.. This app is removed now!

Thiapplication is very usefull, you can eaven see where the train is situating.

You dont need a chip card to find and buy tickets for any Swiss public transit. Works for bike supplements, half-price cards, local metro upgrades, the whole nine yards. Search the national schedule, pick a train, bus cable car etc., and order a ticket against the CC you have on file. Issues an eticket barcode right on your phone. (Just dont run out of battery, because that will make it hard to prove to the conductor that you really did buy!) Limitations: • Wont sell international tickets (although does a good job with timetables) • If you need local bus or metro, it wont sell you a ticket until you search the route from the main station to main station; but then you can buy "alternative tickets" / "local upgrade" / upgrade origin local transit / upgrade destination local transit / or both.

The app does what it should, show train times. But the interface needs updating. All your other apps have a nice modern interface, why does this one not? Also it is a shame that you cant see the price of the train ride without a login. I dont have a credit card so I cant create an account and have to load up the full website to see the price.

When purchasing tickets under iOS 7, it will ask to enter a password but there is no input box. Its a pity that an app issued by the swiss federal train entity doesnt feel the need to update it...

Why the feature "Fare/Buy" does not working? Please fix the fare/buy bug!

It is a very usefull App and it is very detailed

This app lets you easily buy Swiss rail tickets in English with your saved CC info. The conductor scans the ticket barcode right from your iPhone. Avoid ticket counter lines and navigating all the different Swiss languages. Doesnt support buying special packages (e.g., RailAway Bellinzona castle trip) or let you buy a half price card to go completely paperless. Includes train schedules and estimates for how full each segment will be.

This app saves my life all the time!

Works fairly well most of the time, especially for timetable searches. However, it is unreliable for ticket purchases. Stranded me last night on a Mobilis ticket way across town with "unknown error." Time to step up your game, guys!

I just LOVED it! Thats why writing a late night review while still in Switzerland. If you dont have a data plan like me, I looked up all my routes in the hotel the night before and took pictures of the timetable/ schedules that I can pull up offline anytime. Mid you enter arrival and departure cities and time if you want, the app gives all the train timings with connections, and where to change platforms, platform numbers etc. every so many minutes. Very simple and easy. The changing platforms are usually next to each other so take the train right across and the times given are usually few minutes apart- thats why I love the app and the Swiss transport system. Mostly the trains have same times weekdays and run about every 20-60 minutes depending on the route. The timetables at the stations and the little timetable books given at the station as well as the tourist information services are awesome.

This new update 5.1 for SBB doesn’t open with my older iPod Touch with OS 6.1. Wish I can revert back to the old app so I can still access the timetables.

Incredibly difficult to use. Not user friendly. Difficult to find what youre looking for!

way too many bugs for an app from a company this size. maximum brightness wont turn off after viewing ticket. 3D Touch from the start screen doesnt work.
