1. Just download the free app, register your debit/credit card or PayPal account in our secure system, and you're ready to go. - No need to carry cash, count exact change, or find a ticket machine. - Buy and use fares instantly using a debit/credit card or your PayPal account. - Pay a single fare or multiple fares for a group of riders.
2. Just like with paper tickets, you're responsible for making sure you have a valid fare at all times, so be sure to plan ahead! - Don't uninstall the Caltrain Mobile app or erase your phone while you have active tickets on it.
3. Your tickets are stored on your phone (which makes it possible to use them without a cellular network or a wireless Internet connection), so uninstalling the app can permanently erase your tickets! - Watch your battery level!
4. A cellular network or a wireless Internet connection is required to purchase tickets, but you can use your activated tickets offline.
5. The Caltrain Mobile app lets you purchase and use fares instantly on your phone—anywhere, anytime.
6. The official mobile ticketing app from Caltrain!
7. Just like with paper tickets, you're responsible for making sure you have a valid fare at all times.
1. It doesn't have good schedule information or trip planning but CaltrainDroid already has that covered.Thought I was buying a ticket in advance for when I needed it.
2. Can be improved: couple times after the purchase was complete, it didn't show, so I tried to buy a new ticket when the original purchase was already approved.Does not work at times.
3. Rather than storing the ticket for use the ticket became active right away for a 4 hour window when the trip I wanted doesn't even run.
4. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't work.Unlike Clipper, you can buy a ticket instantly, don't have to tag off, and can't accidentally tap twice.
5. But nothing happens in this Caltrain by Moovel app.In its current iteration, makes purchasing tickets and parking passes easy (no hassle of tagging on/off with clipper card).
6. Positive: I love that I can buy the ticket when boarding and don't have to remember to tag out with clipper card after the trip ends.
7. The five star rating mostly reflects how utterly awful Clipper is, but this app's ticket purchasing is convenient and well designed.
8. Also app is reliable or in other words does not crash so you can trust it for you go to daily commute.Doesn't work.
9. When I sometimes do get passed that, it's impossible to buy a ticket because there is an error every time I try to check out.
10. Also being able to purchase the ticket mobilly relieves stress when you are running late or forget to tag off.
11. Purchases are also laggy with no progress indication - I can see how this can lead to duplicate ticket purchases as others reviewers mentioned.
