I use it daily an overall it’s better than the DB or my local network’s app.
Sometimes it’s wrong so I use both. Where it shines is telling me how to get to the right stop and steig. For some reason neither German app will tell me what steig I need and it is a pain.
I stopped using them when they removed their promise not to sell user data from their privacy policy. I also didn’t feel great about using a closed source service anyway.
Öffi used to be the best app for all of Germany, but it stopped working some months ago, and I read that that was due to an API change from Deutsche Bahn.
So now I use my local transit company’s app and the DB navigator.
What? You must not live in the US as it’s pretty good, especially cities. Feels more like a “US sucks” response, which I totally get but doesn’t make it valid. Try getting a public transit option from Google somewhere like Belize or Guatemala, and then you have a complaint.
This is again a US only issue I’m afraid. It works great in Europe and Japan.
Maybe it changed, but last time I tried it it didn’t work well in Germany.
Granted, our public transport system is pretty complicated.
It didn’t work well in Germany when I arrived in Europe six years ago, but for the last three or so years it’s been quite good.

It really does suck in Germany. At least in Berlin, Citymapper is the bees knees!

Now I use a combination of Öffi and Organic Maps.
I missed that! That sucks. Didn’t know about Öffi!

Öffi still works well for me 🤔
Works again for me too, thanks.
Öffi works again with the DB as provider, they switched to the new API.
Also did you know that there is a fork which adds some new, pretty handy features: https://github.com/santawho/oeffi-ng
