The verdict on

Omio

User verdict / 100 High confidence Divided

Omio is a convenient app for finding and booking diverse transportation across Europe, but recent user experiences highlight significant issues with inaccurate real-time information, non-existent customer service, and hidden fees, making direct booking with carriers often a safer and cheaper option.

Omio aims to be a one-stop shop for booking trains, buses, and flights, particularly in Europe, offering a consolidated view of routes and prices. While some users find it easy to use for initial trip planning, a significant number of recent reviews report critical problems with inaccurate travel information, poor customer support, and issues with ticket validity and refunds.

Latest update · v26.703.0

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

Update your app to avoid being bugged by reduced speeds! Omio is now faster, better and stronger.

Recurring themes

Customer Service negative
Many users report extremely poor or non-existent customer service, often encountering AI bots that are unhelpful for resolving issues like cancellations, refunds, or incorrect bookings. This is a recurring complaint across multiple regions.R1R4R5R7
Inaccurate Information negative
A significant number of reviews highlight that the app provides incorrect or outdated information regarding platform numbers, departure times, schedule changes, or even non-existent stations, leading to missed connections and travel disruptions. This directly contradicts the developer's claim of being 'faster, better and stronger' in the latest update.R3R4R15R21
Hidden Fees & Pricing negative
Users frequently find that booking directly with carriers is cheaper, as Omio adds service fees, markups, or does not clearly outline additional costs like baggage fees. There are also reports of prices increasing during the booking process.R10R16R23R41
Booking Convenience positive
Many users appreciate Omio's ability to consolidate various transportation options (trains, buses, flights) across different countries, making it a convenient tool for planning and booking international travel in one place.R8R32R38R56
App Functionality & Bugs mixed
While generally easy to navigate, the app is prone to glitches, crashes, payment errors, and issues with displaying correct dates or availability. Some users also report problems with tickets not appearing or QR codes not working. The developer's notes claim the app is 'faster, better and stronger,' but recent reviews still report bugs.R14R34R42R53

Who it's for

Omio is for travelers who prioritize having a single app to compare and book various modes of transportation, especially for multi-country trips in Europe R38. It's best for those who use it primarily as a comparison tool and are prepared to verify information directly with carriers R7. It is NOT for users who expect reliable real-time updates, responsive customer support for issues, or guaranteed lowest prices R4R7R16R41.

Evidence note: The recent review sample skews significantly negative, with 58.1% negative reviews, which contrasts sharply with the lifetime 4.86/5 rating. This suggests a recent decline in user satisfaction, particularly concerning customer service and information accuracy. The confidence in the negative points is high due to their high recurrence and strong sentiment in the recent sample.

  1. [R8] 5/5 · US One Stop Shop: This app is great. It always finds every possible route in one place and the best prices.
  2. [R32] 5/5 · US One app for all European travel !7!: This app is easy to use and even cheaper than direct websites. All travel in one place.
  3. [R38] 5/5 · US Makes travel easy: I’m so glad I found this app. It makes international travel so easy. Instead of going to each country’s different website, you can do everything in one app.
  4. [R56] 5/5 · US Friendly competition/options: On my most recent five week vacation throughout Europe there were multiple occasions where Rail Europe either did not have availability or cannot complete the transaction or did not have the seating in first class that I wanted, low and behold because I have the OMIO option I was able to find the connections with necessary, transfer time and the seating that I was loo
  5. [R2] 5/5 · US The best app !: I was able to book all my train travel thru Germany and Czech perfectly and fast!
  6. [R39] 4/5 · US So easy!: Very easy to maneuver and book tickets.
  7. [R59] 5/5 · US Great app!: Super user friendly app. Makes traveling abroad very easy. All my tickets in one place. I will now will definitely use it for travel in the US!
  8. [R92] 5/5 · US Great deals if you plan ahead: The first day I got a $6 train from Baltimore to Philadelphia, I became convinced that I found a one-off deal. I was wrong, and I and glad that I was wrong. 😎
  9. [R1] 1/5 · US They Scam: they do not honor policies they force you to buy, app and ai are no help to carry out functions the 0 physical employees should be doing, ai lies about talking to an “ agent” or being contacted by an “agent”
  10. [R4] 1/5 · US Total scam: If anything goes wrong with your journey , like cancelations or schedule changes , the app will not reflect the schedule changes. If you contact customer service , help is non existing . Save yourself time and the hassle . Book directly , don’t use this app it’s useless . (If anything goes wrong )
  11. [R5] 1/5 · US Terrible customer service: We bought first class tickets. Seats were not assigned and no one could tell us what car to go to. No room for our luggage! Horrible experience. Never again!
  12. [R7] 1/5 · US Beware: I advise you at most to use it as a comparison tool. If you book for a group and make ANY error in information you can not correct it. Their customer service is nothing but an AI bot that regurgitates the same answer regarding changes and maybe the only other mistake I made was taking the insurance they offer. My advice is to book directly with the carrier
  13. [R3] 1/5 · US Will never use again.: This app was recommended by the bride and groom of a wedding in Italy. We had never been to Europe before and were unfamiliar with the transportation system. We arrived at the station on time and went to the platform listed on the app (10). The train never arrived, even though we both triple checked the date, time, and platform listed. We went to a ticketing agent who told u
  14. [R15] 1/5 · US Omio App sucks: The App does not update the platform changes in real time which ended up with me missing a train. Im sure this has happened to others, and we are left with a loss of time, so transportation, and money. Please fix this.
  15. [R21] 1/5 · US Ghosts after refund request: I have used Omio for a couple of trips and it was good, but then there was an issue with a recent trip. The time on the app was delayed by an hour from the time it was listed for the actual train so I ended up missing my train because I relied on the app. I reached out to support in hopes for a refund, and I was in contact with Shiheb L. He said they were going to inve
  16. [R10] 1/5 · US Açıkça dolandırıcılık yapıyorsunuz: Gösterdiğiniz fiyattan bileti onaylayıp işlemlere başladıktan 40 saniye sonra bilet fiyatını yüzde 30 arttırmak açıkça dolandırıcılıktır.
  17. [R16] 1/5 · US Extra fees and price markup: Direct operator was cheaper. Only after booking learnt that fees are not refundable
  18. [R41] 1/5 · US App Worthiness: In App prices are way higher than the ones from the original transportation companies. It’s better booking directly.
  19. [R45] 1/5 · US Fine if nothing goes wrong: Prior train delay meant needed to change time and pay fee (fine). App would not let make any same day changes at all. Had to cancel and eat huge fee. Save yourself headache and avoid ticket markups. Use train providers site or app directly.
  20. [R24] 1/5 · US Missing tickets: I paid for my tickets and when I waited to get them, they didn’t show up in my email address. I tried talking with the ai bot and it doesn’t even know where it went. I see that my bank approved the TICKETS but the app says i didn’t pay nothing. What the heck is going on here >:(
  21. [R55] 1/5 · US Did not display canceled flight tickets: I tried to cancel a flight right after booking it. After I clicked cancel the app says it’s not changeable. I was fine with it and left it alone. The app displays that my booking is valid and I received booking confirmation email and reminders. However! When I get to the airport two months later, they don’t have my tickets. They were actually canceled!!! It
  22. [R60] 1/5 · US DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!: Do not trust this company!!! Worst costumer service. Purchased a bus an a train ticket through them, when trying to board the bus, the bus driver scanned the QR code and said the ticket is not valid, tried multiple times with the codes from the app and the ones send to my email, I had to pay for new tickets at the station. Contacted the costumer support (chat and phone)
  23. [R338] 3/5 · GB Ticket not read: When checking tickets on the local railway, the machine couldn't read my ticket. I managed, but please improve the app. · translated
  24. [R13] 1/5 · US DO NOT USE THIS APP!!! TERRIBLE: I used Omio to book a travel from Berlin to Prague and it set me up on 2 trains and a bus. It gave me only 5-10 minutes in between layovers and absolutely NO information on the train/bus platforms. It gave me a bus number that had no relation to the actual bus at all and I had to ask dozens of other travelers just to find the bus. If they could provide actual platf
  25. [R28] 1/5 · US Not good: Sold us tickets at opposite ends of the first class train car despite both tickets purchased at same time.
  26. [R52] 3/5 · US Efficient, but missing critical info: I’m missing trains because the App does NOT provide the major town, which the trains’ destination. So with a bike, I’m not able to see which is my train, from the boards, or platform. MAJOR FLAW!
  27. [R14] 2/5 · US Unable to purchase: The app is user-friendly to a degree. Each time I selected my choice option for transportation and go to make payment, it always gives an error message. Was unable to use the site or the app to make my purchase which has been quite flustering!
  28. [R34] 3/5 · US Normally it works great: I keep trying to put a certain day and it glitches to another day and won’t show me the date I want to see
  29. [R42] 3/5 · US Tickets: The page won’t refresh and I can’t pay
  30. [R53] 2/5 · US Boat: Keeps saying booking didn’t go through, on my friends and my phone
  31. [R25] 1/5 · US Availability issues: The app does not indicate availability. It shows the times but when you add the passenger details then only it will show if there are tickets available. This could be improved to show live availability.
  32. [R31] 2/5 · US Screw this app: The app is okay if solo booking but if you are booking for a group it’s a gamble every time because they decide to let you know that the train is fully booked after typing every bit of information in for all the tickets you are trying to buy. Book through another app avoid Omio
  33. [R72] 3/5 · US Trip or no trip: You choose a specific train line and time and go through all of the info to fill out, then go to book it annnd the train is full. How about check availability before you fill out multiple people’s ID info. It’s a pain in the butt.
  34. [R44] 2/5 · US Notifications spam: Used this to book tickets and it is fine for that. But why does it think I want daily spam notifications to book flights on other continents even when I disabled special offer notifications?
  35. [R58] 1/5 · US Leave me alone: The app works fine. There's been no problem with it or my transportation, but I would like to be able to unsubscribe once I finish my trips. I still get emails every day but they're just advertisements. I'll have to see how I can block them.
  36. [R289] 3/5 · GB Good app but notifications are really aggressive: The functionality is good but there are way too many notifications and emails when you actually book a trip
  37. [R325] 3/5 · GB Too many notifications: Good enough for its actual purpose but it started spamming me with multiple unwanted notifications a day so I had to uninstall it.
  38. [R23] 1/5 · US Hides baggage fees: POS app that never clearly outlines additional baggage fees in Spain. I’ve had to end up paying more than the total ticket cost at the gate that I would’ve been able to pay less if I paid ahead of time online. AI is not helpful at answering any questions. Flying would’ve been cheaper, and that’s saying a lot considering that’s high too. I wouldn’t recommend it as they are hid
  39. [R27] 1/5 · US Wrong information: When I spent 200 dollars on a ticket I would expect the right information which in turn main me miss my train the departure time was wrong and the platform was wrong. Very disappointed
  40. [R9] 1/5 · US Zero customer support: Phone and chat support nonexistent
  41. [R50] 1/5 · US Cheaper to book direct: I found that it’s cheaper to book directly with the train companies in Spain. Also, this app would only show me very limited availability for a specific route, that cost more than 2x than booking directly with the carrier. Avoid.
  42. [R232] 3/5 · US Not being able to pick seats is a PROBLEM: Need to be able to pick seats
