  1. [R5] GoPass 5/5 · US Quick and easy: Load a card to pay with, and this is easy peezy. But the trains need to show up on time. And customer service and safety is priority! Keep the DART at Dallas College North Lake & Irving/Las Colinas stops. Keep it safe. And thank you.
  2. [R6] GoPass 3/5 · US Better Route Generation: Purchasing fares and tracking are simple and easy to do, but planning trips leaves a lot on the table. Allowing multiple routes to be shown at one time might help with riders optimizing their route selection with transfers. Maybe allowing users to use a more piece-wise planning function where users select routes to add to their trip would and where to pick up and get off w
  3. [R62] Pokémon GO 5/5 · US just straight robbing us: I don’t understand why the things in Pokemon go that WE PAY THEM for such as lucky trinkets and bottle caps and paid research can just disappear I mean yall push a new event to make money off us literally everyday but we can’t even keep the stuff we pay for. not to mention the daily limit on literally every aspect in of this game…I’ve seen plenty of good games go down thi
  4. [R70] Pokémon GO 1/5 · US App crashes and money spent lost: The app crashes a lot. It often crashes before, during and after raids. If it crashes during or after a raid and you cannot have the opportunity to even catch the Pokemon you can request help which will just be an automated response that doesn’t provide any solution. So basically you pay to buy raid passes and if the app crashes you lose your money and there is no
  5. [R8] GoPass 5/5 · US Nice and easy: This app is very fast, helpful when you need a month pass and very easy to use.
  6. [R40] GoPass 1/5 · US So Complicated: Why is this app so complicated? I have to press several different areas to figure out what the hell is going on. I don’t even know how to right this review. But it’s not simple. Had to buy two tickets cause I didn’t understand the difference in trains. Shows I’m an idiot like a lot of people and it’s makes me more of an idiot trying to figure out how buy a simple $6 ticket. Couldn’
  7. [R93] Pokémon GO 3/5 · US Buggy to this day: Been playing since the start, and although fun it still has its bugs. The latest is a near guaranteed crash that I and many players online have reported experiencing after completing a raid, which if you are using a remote raid pass, causes you to miss the encounter. Contacted support and they stated I already received the raid reward and can’t be compensated. Players beware!
  8. [R1] GoPass 2/5 · US Not reliable: told me the incorrect stop twice in a row. i even tried to wave down the driver but they did not care
  9. [R13] GoPass 1/5 · US Unreliable: its works to a point but even with uber and lyft agreements turned on its unreliable you don’t know when your gonna get anywhere you could get a ride and be waiting anywhere from 5 minutes to 1 hr 30 don’t count on this app if you need to be anywhere important more than likely you’ll be late
  10. [R90] Pokémon GO 3/5 · US Pokemon please fix your game: Pokemon Go is a good game, but 3 times in a row my game crashed after beating a raid boss and it would not allow me to even attempt to catch the Pokemon. I lost the opportunity to catch a Necrozma, a Zamazenta, and a Kyruem. I would like to have the glitch fixed if you could.
  11. [R2] GoPass 5/5 · US TRE: The TRE conductors are the best! Freddy, Melissa, Dylan, Hunter, Devon, Clayton and Sal.. These people are professional, very nice and I wouldn’t ride without them. They valuable employees!
  12. [R67] Pokémon GO 1/5 · US I got scammed: I bought the pass and it took my money and didn’t give me the pass
  13. [R103] Pokémon GO 1/5 · US Pay to win: Terrible game since the Saudis own it. Now it’s pay to win and not fun.
  14. [R3] GoPass 3/5 · US Newest Version is NOT working for my iPad.: It keeps saying Invalid App Version, even though I deleted the app & reinstalled it. Please, fix this, because I need this app & have no other way to purchase tickets.
  15. [R34] GoPass 1/5 · US NOT LEGIT APP THE STEAL 💵: I had purchased 1 go pass and then they charge my card but don’t give me the ticket so I tried again and over till I gave up looked at my bank statement and they charged me over 10 times and didn’t give me one ticket . If I’m not compensated for my time wasted my money lost my by an issue because of your app I will be taking the entire company to small claims and I will
  16. [R84] Pokémon GO 3/5 · US Fun but player support is awful: I have enjoyed the game for years, but there are a lot of glitches and the developers never respond to any tickets. For example my game keeps crashing and not giving me a chance to catch a raid boss, but nothing gets credited back to my account and I just lose raid passes. I send in tickets, but get ignored.
