The IRCTC app is absolutely useless when it comes to booking train tickets. Every single time I try to book a ticket, something or the other goes wrong! The app crashes, hangs, or just refuses to process the booking properly. To make matters worse, money gets debited from my account but doesn’t get added to their wallet or the ticket isn’t booked at all. It’s so frustrating and inconvenient! The services are the WORST I’ve ever experienced. The Tatkal ticket booking section is of no use. 0 star

The IRCTC Rail Connect app is a useful tool for booking train tickets in India. However, it suffers from significant performance issues that hinder the user experience. The app is often slow to load, pages take ages to refresh, and basic actions like searching for trains or selecting seats can be frustratingly sluggish. This is particularly problematic during peak booking periods when time is of the essence. In addition to slowness, the app also experiences frequent crashes and freezes,
