The point in the intro is fair: there are way too many apps, and they are not always great (sometimes not even usable). DB Navigator is the one that gives you access to all routes, but it’s also the worst UX for the apps relevant to my area (the VBB and BVG apps are better – the VBB one is also more responsive).
I find the third-party app [Öffi](https://oeffi.schildbach.de/) to have a far superior UX than any official app and it attempts to support as many transportation systems (mainly in German-speaking countries) as possible. That’s just for route planning/departures/maps though. In the VBB area it can tell you *which* ticket to buy, but you can’t buy it through the app (you need to use official apps or the vending machines for this).
