### 4/5 — Expérience utilisateur

*2026-03-29, version 9.7.3*

Globalement bien. Cependant l’application peut être améliorée au niveau de son accessibilité (menu plus intuitif, reprendre plus d’informations essentielles comme la voie de départ, la zone correspondante aux voitures etc.). Il ne m’était par ailleurs pas possible de télécharger le billet (avec QR) via l’app. J’ai du passer par l’application tiers pour ce faire.

### 1/5 — Buy insurance automatically

*2026-03-25, version 9.7.3*

The APP has added 12Eur insurance cost automatically without my consent. I didn’t click the insurance button and the APP will add the cost in the total price.

### 5/5 — Fiets boeken

*2026-03-17, version 9.7.3*

Er is geen mogelijkheid om in 
deze app ook je fiets mee te boeken

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-03-09, version 9.7.3*

Easy to use and reliable.

### 1/5 — iPhone generated password NOT accepted

*2026-03-05, version 9.7.3*

The idiot app doesn’t accept the password generated by the most popular phone in the world, truly insane.

### 1/5 — Mon profile

*2026-03-03, version 9.7.3*

J’ai essayé d’acheter le billet pendant 30 minutes et finalement mon mot de passe est incorrect !! Ce qui est faux ! J’ai demandé un nouveau mot de passe que j’ai jamais reçu. Telle perte de temps!!!

### 1/5 — Onbetrouwbaar

*2026-02-16, version 9.7.3*

Niet gebruiksvriendelijke app; treinen en prijzen vergelijken kan niet.
Wat vooral teleurstellend is: de Realtime meldingen kloppen nooit…

### 1/5 — Problemen met poortjes in Nederland

*2026-02-09, version 9.7.3*

Als ik wil in-of uitchecken in Nederland wordt apple pay steeds geactiveerd.
Daarnaast is de app extreem traag en loopt hij regelmatig vast. Een ticket boeken naar Nederland met een paar overstappen kost me >15 minuten.
Echt niet meer van deze tijd!
Helaas moet ik hem gebruiken vanwege train+.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-01-11, version 9.7.3*

What is the point of the app if I buy the ticket through it, but it still redirects me to web, and then the purchased ticket is not visible in the app, and I am offered the option to “upload it to the app”, which requires manual input of booking code? Unusable, uninstalling.

### 1/5 — The worst service ever

*2026-01-09, version 9.7.3*

I never thought you can hate a brand until I got to know Belgian Trains. This company, clearly run by a bunch of incompetent individuals, makes my life a living hell on a daily basis. With random delays, cancellations, and a new favourite - skipping over stops, they always make sure that you never get to your destination on time. And as a cherry on top - they will charge you an absolute fortune for the train journey. But hey, these are the things you can do when you are a monopoly I guess. If I could take literally any other public transport service - I would. Unfortunately we are stuck with this bunch of baboons who were somehow trusted to run a NATIONAL train service. Good luck to everyone traveling with them and I hope to live long enough to see the fall of NMBS with my own two eyes and to get to celebrate this joyous occasion.
