I like this app. On occasion it makes the difference between choosing to use the train or not. One plus is that, unlike Trainline, there are no booking fees. And, despite 'belonging' to Northern, you can buy tickets for travel in any part of the country. Finally, I like that you can select routes to show in the Live Tracker based on your recent searches in the app - that saves a lot of faff in the heat of the moment!
This app is atrocious. Difficult to buy tickets, prices are higher than buying on the internet. If you buy them on the internet you can't actually access the ticket to show it without downloading this app. However, if you purchased the ticket as a guest on the website there is no way to get it into the app and you end up trying to explain yourself to the person to exit at the gate. When you go to your account profile in the app, it takes you back out to the internet to login to see it. Useless!!
Doesn't offer the cheapest fare (like split-save from other apps). Remembers the opposite direction I routinely travel in for buying tickets... assume a bug? No option to manually favourite travel times and stations. Every journey (multiple times per week) has to be manually entered again and again for the same stations and times. That's simply embarrassing design. On a plus side, the travel notifications/delays are useful and well implemented.
Works well in most circumstances, but I have some niggles about the way journeys are selected sometimes. In one case the app proposed a journey via Halifax, although the train was booked up. I had to make different searches to find out that there was an alternative route via Leeds which really should have been offered in the original search. Also I recently altered a booking. When searching for a replacement trip you are not offered the normal options such as Via and Avoid stations.
