Plan your trip
TODAY is 1 JUNE. Entered from and to information. Tried selecting a date. selecting any date past 28 June is not accepted by the app. Rome2rio and other websites can show train and bus times in the future but this app is VERY LIMITED.!
Is this app legit ? Is it official ? Why no reviews ?

Needs improvement
Glad I bought a paper (72h) ticket given some of the reviews. But just for navigation this app needs a lot of work. The “map” doesn’t even show transit lines. The actual train map is buried. So I can’t see which direction the various (tram) lines are heading and Amsterdam has a very confusing layout. It also doesn’t even show all of the tram stops on the map. Like you can see the Google maps version underlying the interface but there is no “Tram” label to click on to see which trams service that stop. Google maps does a much better job.
NFC causes wallet pop up
When displaying a QR code and you get near the reader, nfc causes the wallet to pop up. Developers can disable this but they haven’t. It makes it almost impossible to scan a code.
Garbage way to do public transit
Frustrating experience….don’t buy through a 3rd party app….they make you visit a service station and wait in the queue to activate the voucher. Lots of frustrated people waiting here with me.
Ticket deleted
It deleted my 48 hour ticket after 24 hours
Not great!
This app is not very good compared to most other Europe cities. It really works poorly with Apple phones and Apple Pay - every time you try and scan QR code it switches on Apple Pay. Also you can’t buy several of the group or multi use cards at terminals (on paper or chip cards) forcing you to use the bad App.
Fantastic for metro, trams, buses
We used it our whole with great success!!!!
Ticket disappeared
I bought a 48 hour ticket. After less than 24 hours it disappeared from the app. OK I didn’t create an account or take a screenshot of the ticket but I guess I should have. Beware!
