Works nicely. The free surfing is sometime interrupted because of a tunnel or if the train is stuck in a station, but this is understandable. I see a lot of complaints and bad ratings. But for someone without unlimited internet and who traveled +10 years with the cff, this app really makes my travels more comfortable.

SBB free train Wi-Fi means "free if you already have a Swiss phone contract" or an eSim from Sunrise or Swisscom. If you haven't, don't even bother trying. I'm giving this one star, although this is a reflection on SBB's ridiculously insular and unwelcoming policy, rather than the app itself.

Cannot be used with a non-swiss phone number! Please just install Wi-Fi on the trains, most other European countries have solved this 10 years ago...

Utterly terrible! Many have pointed out how useless this app is, and how many problems would be solved by simply offering a Wi-Fi hotspot. SBB claims their solution provides a better service and experience. How so? By still being charged for data by Salt despite using the app? Or is it by having to reactivate the connection every ten minutes, because I "left the Free Surf Zone", yet still sitting in the train en route to Zurich? It's broken beyond repair. Just install Wi-Fi, ffs!
