Thanks for the redesign! Before the update I set my home to have the live update of the nearest departures, but now I can't find it anywhere. Edit: I wanted to use 1 of my 4 pre-bought tickets, and the app just doesn't do anything when I validate. Also, when buying/validating, I have to always manually select the starting location, when in the old version, it automatically selected the nearest. The result is more taps than before.

Edit: I can't get it to accept the tickets I have already purchased, which caused me to waste a lot of time and miss Sbahns. The recent update has ruined this app. The ability to use tickets I have already purchased had been severely compromised and it asks for payment information every time. It also takes quite some time to process. Visibility of existing purchased tickets is severely compromised. In general the user interface has taken a major hit. I really hope they fix these glaring issues

I've been using this app for years and barely had any issues with it! The recent redesign looks neat too! I'd just wish the UI was a bit denser so more information would fit on my screen (and I have a pretty big phone). That was a bit nicer about the old design. Specifically on the screen that outlines a trip, there are pretty big gaps between lines of text that look a bit odd. (Also small bug: You can't use the back button to close the screen with your current ticket)
