### 4/5 — Great airport

*2026-07-10*

I like Schiphol Airport.  However, I wish there were better signs and that I never had to carry luggage up or down stairs.

### 5/5 — 2 people over 80

*2025-06-27*

We allowed more than enough time to check in etc,
We did sign up for accessibility but before TSA the line was huge. Sooo we did it ourselves with the acknowledgement of many schiphol workers to make it easier, cutting the line etc. helping out. Our E21 was broken but we got there anyway

### 5/5 — Based out of this world

*2025-06-08*

This app is the best airport app I’ve ever used. Best airport too. Took 15 minutes through security and passport control.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2025-05-15*

Amazing app, easy to use, step by step, thanks alot

### 5/5 — James

*2025-05-06, version 11.8.1*

Just fantastic app this is

### 4/5 — Good airport and flight guidance

*2025-03-24*

This app is really convenient when it comes to traveling from Schiphol. It sends u notifications of your flight as well and there is a map of Schiphol with all the restaurants, shops, gates, etc.

### 5/5 — Exceptional airport app

*2025-01-18*

As someone who’s been designing software for well over a decade, I can honestly say this is one of the better app experiences I’ve had. It’s clean, intentional, and easy to navigate. They focused on traveler needs and goals and hit the bullseye.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2024-07-27*

I often get notifications from the Schiphol app on changes or cancellations before the airline!!!

### 5/5 — Saves time and stress!

*2024-05-08*

The app is easy to navigate and offers really useful functionality like booking a security slot ahead of time which has saved me a lot of stress and uncertainty. 

Also useful - a lot of realtime updates on busyness of various parts of journey to get to your flight.   Nicely designed, genuinely useful, reliable and free - what more do you want?

### 3/5 — Meh

*2022-09-29*

The app functions well but provided us with some inaccurate information. It said we cannot check our bags until 2 hours before our flight, but while checking them in the employee said we were actually able to check them in 4 hours before our flight. It also did not provide us with our flight delays and said it was on time when it wasn’t. However it did give us the right check in gate and terminal. This app is somewhat helpful but I would make sure to double check the accuracy of the information provided with airport employees and the departure time screens found throughout the airport.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2022-09-10, version 10.3*

Despite the other reviews, I’ve found the app never freezes, nor does it have any problems on an iPhone 13 Pro. It’s a great app and I particularly love that you can use VR to direct yourself through the airport, although you don’t really need it because of great signage! I wish Toronto’s YYZ would do something like this since it’s a fair bit more complicated than Amsterdam’s AMS.

### 5/5 — App freezes

*2022-05-06, version 9.6.10*

This app freezes frequently and I have to remove reinstall it again and again losing all my trackings.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t update

*2019-04-25*

My flight was delayed and Expedia let me know immediately and this app said my flight was still on time.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Absolute pointless app

*2024-01-23, version 11.4.4*

App is not kept up to date. Had a 2 and a half hour delay on my flight. App was saying on time. Absolutely pointless app.

### 1/5 — Useless for real time information

*2023-06-28, version 11.1*

Don’t bother using this app for real time information because you simply won’t get it. Delayed departure times. Gate changes. Very annoying.

### 1/5 — Totally useless if your a traveler

*2022-10-28, version 10.4.1*

I don’t want to be chased around with glib information that doesn’t answer my question.

I expect a precise and direct answer to my question;
“Where can I find some pipe tobacco.”

Try it out and you will soon realise the site is made by people who have never been outside their office, or don’t know what a unfamiliar traveler wants.  No wonder thousand of people are aimlessly milling around, and everything comes to a grind.

Nice pictures, though. But that doesn't answer the question.

### 1/5 — App is nice.

*2022-07-25, version 10.1.2*

Thats all there is to say about Schippol. Worst security ever. No common sense

### 1/5 — Does NOT offer live security waiting times

*2022-05-02, version 9.6.9*

Simply says “not available”, presumably to cover up the horrendous wait times.

Unlike the UK which allows EU citizens to use e-gates, Schiphol does not reciprocate and so UK citizens face huge immigration queues.

So waiting times pretty important….

### 1/5 — Used to be great now won’t open

*2020-07-16, version 8.2.2*

This has always been a great app, usually many minutes ahead of airline comms or board info. But after recent update, it won’t open. Looking forward to the fix!!

### 1/5 — Updates?

*2020-02-03, version 8.0*

Sorry but how this got top reviews is beyond me. No updates on my flight. Past flying time and it still says it's on time! Sends me to a closed gate. Rubbish

### 1/5 — Was better before.

*2017-02-15*

Where is the boarding time and why doesn't my watch receive alerts anymore after the app was overhauled.  It wasn't broke before and performed perfectly but now it does less. I also had an instance when the gate info was never populated. This is sad because it was great before.

**Developer response:** Since the last update (5.2) we've improved a lot of stuff. Can you tell us if that worked out for you?

### 1/5 — Worse worse worse

*2017-01-17, version 5.0.4*

I agree with one of the previous users that they have made a very good app less functional and too basic. Bring the old one back ASAP

### 1/5 — Complete Rubbish New App

*2017-01-13, version 5.0.3*

This new app is complete rubbish what have you done you idiots? The previous one worked fine and I used it weekly as a regular business traveler. 

This is a huge retrograde step, why??? Fire your team, but you probably think it's a huge positive like most Dutch would in this situation patting themselves on the back.

WRONG!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Seems to be excellent

*2026-06-12, version 12.2.2*

Connected across rail, flights and security information and more.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-19*

From the US and this app was helpful.  Booking a time for security was like using TSA pre in the US - much shorter line. Helpful for gate change as well!

### 5/5 — Kelvin from UK

*2026-05-14, version 12.2.1*

Excellent service especially very polite custom service

### 5/5 — Handy

*2026-04-25, version 12.1.7*

Loved this; gives you flight info before the big screen.

Really good app.

### 5/5 — Great Help

*2026-03-26*

Has everything you need. Especially liked the step by step where to go next instructions as you journey through the airport.

### 5/5 — Class Above

*2026-02-05, version 12.1.4*

I visit a number of airports and this new app from Schiphol is way ahead (by a huge margin) of any other major international airport 🙏

### 5/5 — Best Airport App

*2026-01-20*

This is definitely the best airport application I’ve used to date.

### 5/5 — So much faster than the airline updates

*2025-10-27*

I like the new look and streamlined layout, though I've not used it extensively so it is only my first impression. 

I'm getting my flight delay updates much faster than Klm is giving them :)

### 5/5 — Get this app!

*2025-10-24*

Easy use and super helpful when traveling out of AMS/ Schipol airport.

### 5/5 — Thoughtful Design

*2025-06-30*

This app was very helpful in navigating to/from Amsterdam as a first time visitor. Accurate information was provided about transportation types/times and flight times (including delays) along with specific  directions getting to/from/within the airport. It’s one of the more thoughtfully designed app with the user experience in mind.
