SMS Verification

By Voom Chaka Laka

I’m visiting HEL from US. Trying to use my US cellphone number for SMS verification but never received any verification code. Tried alternate mobile number but having the same issue. App won’t allow purchasing any tickets without SMS verification. What the heck ? Not understanding why it can’t be done via email or other means!!! Deleting the app now. What a waste of time.


Harkitse viron lisäämistä

By Mihkel Viires

Hyvä sovellus. Haluaisin, että viro lisätään kieleksi.


Code not sent to phone

By Mermanda!

I can’t use this app, as no code was sent via text/sms.


SMS Failure

By Shaffner

So I’m still not entirely sure why all these transit apps require a phone number, but if your app isn’t configured properly to send SMS internationally, then maybe don’t give the user an option to enter a foreign phone number. There are few things worse than apps that present an option that they know doesn’t work. Great that now you can buy as a guest, but this is a solvable problem!


Cannot Pay for City Bikes

By M4st3r Fl4m3

Explain to me why I can pay for every other type of ticket on the app but if I want to pay for access to the bikes in Helsinki I have to jump to 15 hoops only to be turned away at the last section anyway. First the website blocks international IPs (even if you have an EU phone number). Next it blocks you from using a non-Scandinavian payment method DESPITE saying that you can (the different card service icons in the payment section). After that, if you pay for a city bike (between 1-4 bikes in case you want to pay for a friend in a situation like this) you CANNOT buy additional bikes AFTER. You have to wait the duration you paid for (month, week, day) to finish BEFORE trying again for the correct number of bikes. My friend called customer service and they said “yeah that’s how the system works, you can’t change it once you pay it.” That IS NOT a reason, that is a shortcoming- a FAILURE of the app. How is it that the developers failed to see that this could be a potential issue? FINALLY, if you want to delete your account, you have to give them your account info (not an issue) but then you need to give them PAY CREDENTIALS- information that the service did NOT accept in the first place and EACH of the pay options are from Scandinavian banks ONLY. If customer service cannot overwrite these issues, their jobs are a waste of money. If the developers cannot predict an issue like this happening, their jobs are a waste of money. + + This is not a small issue, this is a glaring problem.
