TfL Pay to Drive in London

Worst app ever. Antiquated and unintuitive.

It says I need to update the app, then it says it's no longer compatible with my 18 month old phone! How can this be? How do I pay? TfL, think on.

For the amount of money wasted (£2.2bn) to build the Silvertown tunnel (as a relief road for the Blackwall tunnel) and having to pay to use them, the coding of this app is borderline criminal. The app does not recognise usage until max 5 working days after use (yes, 5 working days) but you're having to pay almost immediately in order to avoid the penalty notice on PAYG. So app almost asks you to remember how many times you've used the tunnel and pay accordingly. The auto-pay is also 💩.

trash app having log in issue every time I have to use it I have to make a new account so I have stopped going to London. but its probably stopped me from having my phone nicked or pick pocketed or worse so thank you for that.
