Hello, I read the Île de France mobilités app is the best app to use for the Paris Metro. I’m trying to register from the US and got blocked on the app. I tried registering on the website and I just get the spinning wheel. I saw a post on Reddit you need a French phone and ip address to use the app. Can someone confirm whether I can use the app with a US phone? I’d like to set up the MySpace from home (US) but maybe I can’t. I have the RATP app so maybe I just need to use that. Can anyone confirm the best option? Thanks!

This is the app we've used for years, and it's fully functional in the US. We've set up our accounts and often buy our metro passes on our phones before we leave the US and switch to eSIMs. We have Samsung phones and Verizon is our provider.

The RATP app worked for our needs while we were in Paris. I don't remember any issues with installing the IDF app.
