I just started using the Eurail Global Pass and i’m very insecure about it. I already lost one day of trip i think because i couldn’t reserve a seat. And now i’m not knowing how to use the app and the website, because the informations in them are not matching.
My questions is:
How do I know that i will get a seat in the trains that don't need a reservation? And what do i show to get in the train?
I made a reservation on the website in my account and this trip didn’t appeared in the app, what do i need to do?

How do I know that i will get a seat in the trains that don't need a reservation?
You board the train and you find a free seat. In 99% of cases, that works fine.
And what do i show to get in the train?
99% of the trains can be boarded without any barriers or checks. For the other 1%, there are sometimes gates, which you can either open with the QR code of the app, or that will have staff near them, whom you can show your pass (the QR code or the readable information below it).
