Comments on Ventra for Android

★★★★★ ThankingGOD Inadvance · Apr 7, 2026
I have had this app since I was a preteen, this is the best app ever some of the features include you get your $5 back once you register the card, and they send you a card with your name on it, I think I never got it, 😮‍💨 I never got the card but yeah what else can I say about this card you can add your money on your bus card through debit card. Its safe you can track buses you can track trains, and met it give you other solutions also .
★★★★☆ Theresa Diaz · Apr 24, 2026
Never had a problem this app works great but only reason I give it 4 stars is cuz you can't erase old cards you either don't have anymore or are expired. I have like 6 cards on there that I don't have and have no money on them and there's no way to delete them without calling customer service.
★☆☆☆☆ Christopher (Bahob) · Jun 13, 2026
I try to register my plastic ventra cards, and after typing in all my info, the add card doesn't respond to my tap. More like an image than a button. Galaxy s25+
★☆☆☆☆ Liam Bennicoff Plays · Jun 5, 2026
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS APP. Want to buy a pass? Doesn't work. Want to use it in the app? Have to do it through an external wallet. Want to arrive at the airport on time? Good Luck. I was late by 45 minutes due to my Ventra pass suspended, and I had to add $10 extra over 3 credit cards for it to work FINALLY work. PLEASE FOR YOUR SANITY BUY PHYSICAL TICKETS. Bus drivers were so kind, and approachable. Such a shame they have to use this terrible app.
★☆☆☆☆ Joshua Hansen · Mar 10, 2026
The Ventra app didn't respond when I tried to purchase a Regional Day Pass.
★★☆☆☆ Sarah Patisaul · Feb 12, 2026
Normally fairly reliable but as of last week, the app fails to display all bus and train arrival estimates. Says the data is not available. This has ruined much of the usefulness of this app
