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?
★★★★☆ 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.
★★★★☆ Olivier Breuk · Dec 20, 2025
It is useful but if your train gets cancelled, or you missed a train it doesn't make a new route, it would just make traveling easier, but overall the app works fine and gets me to places (:
★★☆☆☆ Avaneesh Shetye · Jun 2, 2026
The travel planner doesn't work very well. When I search for a route with a set arrival time, the order of routes is still set to departure time, and selecting bike for departure or arrival does not do anything unless you click earlier travel advices, then it shows the same advices but with a bike instead of walking.
★☆☆☆☆ Veronika Fertenko · Feb 15, 2026
The customer support agent Samira was rude and seemed to not know how to communicate with people. I bought a ticket via NS website and wanted to use the QR code for the travel. However, the station gate charged my card instead of reading QR, as I had an NFC on (who doesn't). I realized it only a few days later when I looked through my card statement. Passing gate with QR you should turn screen down, so obviously I haven't noticed that at that moment the charge was taken from card. I'm frustrated

Had a slightly wrong ticket type as a foreigner, had to pay full price for a new ticket even though it was very hard to realize the mistake. Some help towards the new people would be nice, instead of punishing for honest mistakes
