Comments on NS for Android

★★★★☆ Johnny · Jun 8, 2026
App works fine, but it's kinda weird that I have entered my details about my discount card, and that the discount never gets shown automatically in the journey price, you always have to click a second link to get anything other than the full price. Can we get the discount calculated into the journey price, in accordance with the time slot of je journey?
★★★★★ Jerome · Mar 29, 2026
Simply works, sometimes shows trains that have left 2 mins ago.
★★★★☆ Lars Springintveld · Mar 18, 2026
Active OV-bike rental counter keeps running in notification and the bottom of the app screen for many days (and counting) after the rental has been stopped. Other than that a fine app.
★☆☆☆☆ Ciaran Kelly · Aug 1, 2026
Would have gave it 5 starts till I tried to attach my card for buying tickets for upcoming journey and doesn't allow you to add the card till you have used it on the train. As a tourist that doesn't make sense to me as I don't know where I am going in person and for what zone to travel to and thought the app would be an all-in-one place to get me the right ticket to the right place, I would recommend changing this so first time travelers can have a seamless trip and more likely to use the app
