Comments on NS for Android

★★★★☆ Ismael · Oct 15, 2026
There is a new function when selecting where I want to go. After I choose a destination, the app displays a list of suggested addresses related to the current selection. These suggestions are usually not useful and make the screen cluttered. I think it would be better if this field were empty by default, making it easy to: Select a saved location Choose a recent destination Type a new address manually Please remove these automatic related-address suggestions, or add an option to disable them.
★★★★☆ Cristi Rivero · Sep 8, 2026
Hello, I need to drop some suggestions. ❌❌❌ 1️⃣ Enable a form contact for Suggestions, bugs and feedback in the NS app, with attachments in the "Mijn NS" menu. 2️⃣ Make OV Chipboard number easier to copy just by 1 tap. 3️⃣ Add the Expiration Date and other details available to our OV Chipkaarts (we need those if we have to report we lost them!). 4️⃣ Create buttons to report lost or stolen OV chipkaarts in each "Card Overview" section that leads to OVPay website and auto-completes the data there.
★★★★★ Jonathan · Sep 30, 2026
Can you add an animation on the swap stations button please? I'm always going from Amsterdam Central to Amersfoort Central. The length and the letters look so similar that I have to triple check if they actually swapped before clicking the plan trip button. Sometimes the click isn't registered, or I miss click, and I'm looking at the wrong planning. Thanks for considering
★★★★☆ 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?
★☆☆☆☆ Demian Tinkiel · Sep 15, 2026
Update: now with worst interface! Not only the new look and feel it's smaller font and more dead space, it also is slower overall. Now it takes extra time just finding stations. Information is useless: says that because works there is no trains going to/from Amersfoort and yet the planner says just take a train there. Can't provide trains and can't provide accurate planner
★☆☆☆☆ 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
