Ratings and Reviews
Poor privacy protection. Impossible to create and account!
The account creation screen will always go blank as soon as I tap in the password field. iPhone SE (1st Gen/2016) with ios 15 ( ios 16 is not available on this phone.) Had to create an account on their website instead.
Buying a ticket with this app is time consuming ( a few mins) and stressful! On top of this the last thing I want to use is a phone to buy a ticket when I am in a hurry. For comparison: it takes me 25 seconds to buy a WeekendReturn ticket from a machine in Brussels-Centraal using a stressfree process. I timed it.
Poor privacy protection - We have to set up an account when there is no real requirement except for an SNCB privacy and data grab. SNCB put up the price of the paper tickets so that we all have to install the app. This penalises those who do not have a smartphone, and those who phone battery runs out during the journey, and those who have eyesight problems looking at screens such as the disabled and the old. These people already have a smaller income, and yet they are penalised. Tickets: We cannot print the tickets! Which means we could buy a ticket, our phone battery runs out, or the phone breaks, and we have to buy a nee ticket. It's a win for SNCB but a great loss for the customer.
Poor interface and outrageous that I must have account
I can buy my tickets in web browser without an account yet this app forces me to setup an account with my data when I don’t want to. Please reconsider your policy since I weather protect my data than use the app and it’s a shame you force me to make this choice.
Many of the search fields don’t work and app crashes. Perhaps it’s a language thing.
Frequent tickets like buying a ticket to Brussels Airport is needlessly complicated.
Great application.
It is by far one of the easiest mobilisation apps I have ever used.
I travel a lot and have used different apps internationally.
This Belgian one seems to work super smooth and offers a great user experience.
It’s easy to use, fast and correct.
When you have bought a multi pass, and afterwards you try and buy another train ticket. It will remind you that you can use the multi pass.
