Data security and authorisations.
What permissions does SBB Mobile need and why?

Location
For connections from your current location, the GPS function must be activated so that SBB Mobile can find the nearest stop. This also applies if you want to have the nearest stop displayed in the timetable.

Calendar and e-mail
You can save connections in your own calendar and send them by e-mail (to friends, an external calendar). SBB Mobile requires read and write permissions to be able to import your desired connection into the calendar.

Access to the camera
SBB Mobile requires access to your camera to take pictures directly in the app for your personalised touch timetable.

Internet access
SBB Mobile requires internet access to search the timetable as well as for ticket purchases.

Memory
To support offline functions, e.g. station/stop list, connections (history) and purchased tickets, SBB Mobile requires access to your device’s memory (saving app-specific settings).

Fantastic app! Accurate, updated instantly. Includes live bus, train and tram position, and walking maps to navigate to the bus, train or tram stop or between platforms. Buy and refund tickets directly.

Be careful with swiss pass order, it goes live immediately! You need to choose start date but immediately is the default, they should change the app to make people choose a start time. It's too easy to activate it before it is needed. App works well besides this

Sadly doesn't support PayPal like the rest of the world, only works with the obscure Swiss TWINT system. Yes I can add a credit card, but I would love if there was a way to charge up the SBB account with money before traveling to Switzerland, using PayPal or Bank Transfer from home, so that I can be sure I can book and use a ticket quickly when I need to, without often tedious and long credit card security procedures.
