What to look at before you choose
Peak days decide the rating
Ticketing apps collect most of their complaints during tatkal windows and festival rush, when bookings fail or payments hang. A one star share is often a record of those few days.
Official and partner apps sit side by side
Railway apps from the government and private apps from authorised partners book the same seats. They differ in tracking, alerts and refunds, which is what users rate.
A three step check
Check the volume
A 4.8 from 30 ratings is a weaker signal than a 4.3 from 900.
Check the date
A business changes hands, a manager leaves, and the rating takes a year to catch up. Look at what people wrote this quarter.
Check whether anyone replied
A company that answers its worst reviews is telling you what happens when something goes wrong for you.
Questions
Does a rating tell me whether my ticket will be confirmed?
No. Confirmation depends on the railway or bus operator. A store rating records users' experience of the app.
How often is this ranking updated?
Whenever a source's rating average is refreshed. Each entry carries its own as of date.
Can a company pay to rank higher here?
No. Placement is the GoCredible Score and nothing else. If that ever changes, the paid entries are labelled inline.
