Useless, as is the NS online booking process! Book online, then have to load this app and create an account in order to get an e ticket (email confirmation not good enough). But the transfer to the app does not work (no explanation). So the app, even though the account was created with the same email, does not show the e ticket. Had to go to a ticket office to get the ticket printed! On top of this, somehow, my return ticket date is wrong, and NS tefuse to change it. So have to pay again!

I found the NS app to be excellent for looking up train times and buying tickets during a week's stay in the Netherlands. Because I was travelling with a family one great ticket you can buy in the app but not at the stations is a group ticket, only 34 euros for a one-way journey off-peak for up to three people. Yes, 34 euros total, not per person! A little more if there are more people in your group, up to 7 people. Note, this app can only be used for trains, not buses, trams and the metro.

I am constantly disappointed by this app's account administration section. At least twice a week, it cannot retrieve the information under MijnNS (journeys, sharing codes, invoices, etc). When it shows 'something went wrong' message, it says 'contact the system administrator with this reference number', but does it say HOW to contact system administrator? of course not. A poor app for account admin. It works most of the time for journey searches.
