Previously, my purchased tickets did not appear unless I sign out and then sign back in. And now, I'm unable to purchase tickets from the app. I keep getting "payment unsuccessful". This has to be the worst app experience I have ever encountered. Remove the app from the play store, fix it. Then republish it. It makes no sense to have such an app available for consumers with its current state.

The app is useful but lags often & has lots of error messages. It needs its bugs fixed & it would be great if users could tap on every station on any of the lines to get more information to do with the station's street names, relevant landmarks, and whether or not the station is operational or not. London's Underground TFL application is a great example & standard to follow because of its user-friendly design. I highly recommend that you have a look at it & allow its seamless design to inspire u

Get a physical card for your tickets. This app is unreliable. Current location doesn't work - not even an option. Choosing a destination is glitching. Paying for a ticket in the app only offers card payment instead of other online methods such as STCPay. No indication if a metro station is open (operating) or not yet. I hope the app functions better soon.
