My Thoughts on IRCTC Rail Connect

I've been using IRCTC Rail Connect for a while now, and I want to share my experience. It's the app I use to book train tickets. Like any app, it has its ups and downs, and I want to give you my honest opinion.

The Good Stuff

One thing I really appreciate is the biometric login. It makes logging in faster and simpler. This is a great feature when you're in a hurry to book a ticket!

Areas for Improvement

Sometimes, especially during tatkal hours, I've noticed the app can be a bit slow. Booking tatkal tickets can be tricky. It seems like managing the network load during peak times could use some improvement.

I'd also love to see an option to download tickets in PDF format directly within the app. Right now, I have to go to the website, which takes more time. It would be so much easier if I could just download the PDF from the app itself.

Overall Impression

Overall, IRCTC Rail Connect is a helpful app for train travel. While there's always room for improvement, the developers seem to be working hard to make it better, especially considering the number of people using it every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does IRCTC Rail Connect ask for call permissions?

The reason why IRCTC Rail Connect ask for call permissions is something I don't know. So you should be careful while using the app.

Why am I always logged out when I open the app a second time?

This can be annoying! Make sure you have the latest version of the app. If the problem continues, try clearing the app's cache or reinstalling it.

Why is the app so slow during tatkal booking?

Tatkal booking is a very busy time. Many people are trying to book tickets at the same time. This can cause the app to slow down. The developers are hopefully working to improve the app's performance during these peak times.

Is there an option to download tickets in PDF format?

Not directly in the app, unfortunately. You currently need to visit the web version to download your ticket as a PDF. I hope they add this feature to the app soon!

Does IRCTC Rail Connect have a chatbot for assistance?

Currently, IRCTC Rail Connect uses a web version of "Ask Disha". I'm hoping they integrate it directly into the app for a better user experience.
