What’s New
Version 5.155
- Better display of departure time: in previous versions of the app, you would see the number of minutes until your train or bus left, for example 6 minutes. Instead, from now on we will show the departure time, e.g. 14:32. So it's always clear what time your train or bus leaves.
- Arrival platform: we have added which platform you will arrive on. Handy if you need to change trains or buses, for example.
Ratings and Reviews
Geweldige app!
Love it! Geen gezeur meer met kaartjes kopen op het station. Ben blij met deze app
Could be okay, but bad when you really need it to be reliable
It isn’t perfectly synced with the actual times for the buses. Multiple times the bus I needed to take wasn’t showing up so I was forced to buy a ticket on the bus for 2 times the price. It’s good if you’re just relaxing, but don’t expect to depend on it in with tight travel plans.
The developers probably have it set that it only shows what the computer determines to be the “best” rides.. I needs to just show all of them; like google does (for example), the computer doesn’t always give the best options, therefore it’s not reliable
Challenging with Multiple Passengers
When using tickets with additional passengers. It’s challenging to switch between passengers tickets easily. Currently it requires going to “my tickets” then selecting the leg of the journey and passenger then clicking “Show QR code” then once that has scanned the user needs to select back and do the process of selecting the correct ticket and pressing show QR code again. It would be more user friendly if there was a way to select the leg of the journey and show all QR codes for the passengers or have a way to easily swipe between passengers.
