The app is extremely slow, then redirects to the website for most things, but then I MUST have the app to load E-tickets bought on the website, otherwise NS doesn't let me load them. The only positive thing I can say is that the app accurately represents the state of NS in general, with a lot of delays and too expensive for the quality of the service provided.

All in all not a bad app. However, the connections provided are sometimes illogical, you might want to improve the algorithm. And where have the check-in/check-out notifications gone? They stopped working. I want that back. It would be very useful to get a notification when buying a supplement ticket too. Edit: The notifications are turned on, obviously. Hence why I wrote 'they' re gone and stopped working'. Thanks for assuming your customers are retarted. Bravo NS, you've just lost another star.

Dear Juliana, Thank you for your feedback. For notifications please go to settings and switch them on. We will also loo into the connections when you provide us with an example. With best regards NS Development team

They just changed the app and now it takes me a really long time to find departures from a specific station. Before there was just a button on the main page underneath named "departures" to check and now I'm not even sure where that is. Why this change??? Literally the one thing I need to see on an app other than planning a trip. I cannot trust your travel advice and I need to see up-to-date real-time departure screen!!!

What’s new

The holidays are (almost) over again, time for a major update of the NS app. From this version onwards, you can find your saved trips via Planner, you can rent a Dott bike again, and all the screens for buying a ticket have been renewed. And coming soon: buying and using tickets in the NS app will become even easier thanks to our new Products screen!
If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know. Enjoy your trip!
