The app just stays on the opening screen. The OTP sign is is also extremely frustrating since it does nlt always work. For 2 days I have been unable to access my profile or open the app. I have reported this and sti waiting for assistance. The old app never had any issues.

Hi Nix, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Our dev team is working behind the scenes to sort things out quickly. A fix that’s helped some users is clearing the cache or reinstalling. Really appreciate your patience.

Today I deleted this app. Their optional charges are literally a money making scheme. I queried an OPTIONAL "seat allocation" fee but did not get to sit on any of the seats I chose. I was told by Travelstart that I paid for the "seat service." Now, why would I choose to pay for a seat service CHARGE that is OPTIONAL. I have requested an answer several times and Travelstart has ignored my emails since. The OPTIONAL meal choice is also unnecessary. Stop milking consumers, Travelstart.
