Fügt Apple Pay und Pay PAL

Ich finde es eine Frechheit das ihr diese zwei bezahlt Möglichkeiten anbietet nicht jeder hat ne Kredit Karte oder eine Niederländisches Bankkonto

Log-in messed up

It’s impossible to log in with my personal details. Please fix the ability to do this, there are several bugs. It keeps not recognising my password, then when I set a new one, it says it’s incorrect, etc. Then the captcha isn’t working and so on. I’ve just spent 15 minutes trying to get access and I gave up. Do better, NS!

Paying is Painful

Just take Apple Pay.

No Apple Pay

Good for finding train times. But no Apple Pay, so quicker to buy at station ticket machine.

Incorrect platforms

Shows the incorrect platforms at amsterdam central, also does not correctly update when the train switches platforms last minute (in my opinion this situation should not be happening anyways for how much ticket prices are)
