Comments on ScotRail Tap and Pay for Android

★★★★★ adam cowan · Jan 6, 2026

Having commuted many years, I would say this is the single biggest improvement Scotrail have made to my experience to date. The app is modern, practical, saves time and is reliable. I have recommended it to many friends. One small change I would request is perhaps a button to 'retry taking payment' so that a card does not need to be entirely re-added to make the app attempt to take payment again, as this is inconvenient when in a rush.

★★★★☆ Ben Wilkinson · Aug 2, 2026

Started using as the new scotrail app was giving me issues and happy I did. Works seamlessly in the supported area with it automatically connecting the journeys, only wish the area covered more of Scotland.

★★★★☆ Joseph Hüttich · Mar 3, 2026

Very convenient for last minute travel or if you don't know in advance where you are going through the day. A few teething issues: - I seem to be charged two singles instead of a return if I travel too and from different stations in the same town (e.g. Helensburgh Central / upper, Glasgow Queen street/ Central or Falkirk High / Gravestone) - I don't seem to be charged at all if I make the same journey twice within one day. -Battery use is relatively high

The app is busted and just charges you as much as it can. Absolute scam sticking to normal tickets from now on.

Shocking. I travelled from Helensburgh to Dalmarnock, and then returned from Burnside to Helensburgh. I COULD have bought a return to Newton, which would have covered both lines, even though I didn't go as far as that on either trip, cost £10.80, but I used the app and paid for two singles - cost £18.40! This app is not capable of providing "the best fare for your journey" as it claims. Avoid it until it improves.

★☆☆☆☆ Rachel McGraw · Aug 12, 2026

I really hate this new app I can plan my journeys I don't know what train will get me in on time for work, and I can't plan what train to get and when to change trains e.g. if I'm traveling to Edinburgh I don't know if getting the train to Glasgow queen street low level and changing for a high level train is better than getting a direct edit: I would use the old ScotRail app to plan my journeys, but I can't do anything without a pop-up about the new app, and it won't let me click it away

★★☆☆☆ Matt Partridge · Apr 30, 2026

It works, but I don't understand the point of it. Why does this need a specific app? ScotRail already has an app that is needlessly annoying. Just let me buy a ticket and load it into my phone wallet app. They also already have smart cards, but they don't let you load money on them, just tickets. Another pointless inconvenience. Compared to something like an Oyster card or a Spica/Pasco it's just needlessly complex and will never get wide up take. Why invent something new that's worse?
