Customer support is nonexistent
I've contacted support for help, but they've never responded.
Tickets kopen na activering van train+
Uit mijn recente ervaringen toen ik kaartjes kocht nadat ik eerder de optie „train+“ had aangeschaft. Er ontbreekt één aankoopoptie in de app. Als ik de verbinding „heen” selecteer en „ik heb train+” aanvinkt, is het niet mogelijk om een retourticket te kopen zonder „train+”. Het systeem overschrijft automatisch de gegevens voor beide ritten. En soms ben ik genoodzaakt om met twee verschillende opties te reizen, bijvoorbeeld heen daluren en terug tijdens de piekuren.
Instable
C’est quand on en a le plus besoin (ex: problèmes de trains) que l’app « rencontre des problèmes » ou fait mine que je ne suis pas connecté à internet.
Achat trop long - Apple Pay
Nombre d’étapes trop important pour procéder au paiement, pourquoi ne pas ajouter Apple Pay ?
Train
Working
Unusable
Worst UI of any transit app I have ever used.
Ik mis Apple Pay
Pls nmbs fix dit
Too many clicks
I counted, you need 13 clicks to purchase a ticket. Thats way too much!
Offline bar annoying
App is ok, but please tell your app developers that having the “your app is offline” on the bottom of the app where there are all the relevant controls makes it annoying to use. It could be on the top where it doesn’t hinder any button. And Belgium internet coverage is still not great. Thanks
Pat
Great app and easy to navigate!
The worst train service in Europe
Vending machines and app services out of service, no way to purchase tickets. Then they charged extra 9 euro on board
Simplify payment flow
Can you please simplify the payment flow. There are too many steps when using a payment method like payconiq. Thanks 🙏
Captive basket
Has a basket… but cannot leave the basket for using the app, checking timetable or delays…
Paiement de tickets
Bonjour, Je souhaite vous faire part d’une suggestion concernant votre application. Il serait très appréciable que l’application SNCB permette le paiement via Revolut et Apple Pay. Aujourd’hui, il arrive régulièrement que les distributeurs de billets dans certaines gares soient en panne ou indisponibles. Dans ces situations, lorsqu’il n’y a pas de guichet, il devient très difficile, voire impossible, d’acheter un ticket rapidement. L’ajout de moyens de paiement modernes comme Revolut et Apple Pay faciliterait grandement l’achat de billets et améliorerait l’expérience des voyageurs, en particulier lorsque les bornes automatiques ne fonctionnent pas. J’espère que cette suggestion pourra être prise en considération dans le cadre des futures mises à jour de votre application. Je vous remercie pour votre attention et vous souhaite une excellente journée.
Review
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Can’t log in?
Every time I try to log in to purchase a ticket, I get a message that a “technical error has occurred.” What’s the point of this app?
Train+ für Mitreisende nicht gut gelöst
Allgemein finde ich die SNCB App sehr gut umgesetzt. Der Ticketkauf ist mithilfe von Bankcontact schnell und einfach. Allerdings fahre ich häufig mit der gleichen Person und habe für diese auch ein Train+ Abbonement gekauft. Trotzdem muss ich bei jedem Ticketkauf seinen QR-Code abscannen oder seine Nummer eingeben. Ich würde diese gerne einfach direkt in meinem Account speichern und ihn durch einen Klick hinzufügen können. Das würde mein Erlebnis nochmals enorm verbessern.
Brol
Naar vaste gewoonte bij de belastingsgeld verkwanselende NMBS kan je net zoals de trein niet rekenen op de app. Prutser. Het enige wat jullie goed kunnen is staken, treinen af lassen en te laat komen.
Apple Pay ?
L’application est déjà un peu mieux qu’avant (même si je préfère la simplicité de Railer) mais il sera temps d’ajouter la possibilité de payer avec Apple Pay….
Works great
Based on older reviews, I surmise that this app used to leave something to be desired. However, I think it works great now once you're logged in. The routing works well and it has all the details you need. Buying the tickets is easy, and you can buy them for multiple people. The only improvement I could think of would be to integrate Apple Pay, but I can understand not doing that since I don’t think it’s very popular in Belgium
Broken app
The app stops working when you try to create an account. Useless.
No reciept
I can’t find a way to get a receipt 😒
Works…but nearly useless if you have your font enlarged
Not all users of the app have perfect vision. Some of us for accessibility reasons increase the font size. This app doesn’t resize text boxes or input boxes. If your text is large enough everything will be a jumbled mess
Train splitting
Please show if the train will be split at the platform! I was send to a random village.
Great!
Good and easy way to navigate Belgium on the train.
App won’t even open
This app is so broken that after you install it you can’t even open it. I’ve tried reinstalling it and tried restarting my phone and everything. It’s all up to date. The app literally just doesn’t even open.
Facile et utile
Facile et utile merci
Fonctionne jamais quand on en a besoin
Le nombre de fois où tu veux connaître ton trajet à l’avance et que l’application dit “oups un imprévu” stop c’est tout le temps
Gut aber…
Gut gemacht und praktisch, aber… (1) es gibt die Funktion ‚Einkaufskorb‘, es ist aber nicht möglich zwei oder mehr Tickets zu kaufen und alles auf einmal zu bezahlen. Jedes Ticket muss man separat bezahlen; (2) ich habe Anspruch auf eine Preisermäßigung. Früher ist man vom Papierticket auf die Mobib-Karte umgestiegen… und man musste das Recht auf eine Ermäßigung mit einem Papier-Dokument beweisen. Jetzt muss man die App verwenden… und das Recht auf eine Ermäßigung mit der Mobib-Karte beweisen, obwohl das Kundenprofil die Info schon beinhaltet und mit der Karte verbunden ist; (3) den Auskünften der App NIE folgen. Beispiel: am 23.5.2026 sollte ich, laut der App, den Zug rund 14 Uhr in Antwerpen nehmen, dann in Brüssel umsteigen und den Zug nach Lüttich von 15:07 nehmen, und dann in Lüttich umsteigen und den Zug von 16:07 nach Gouvy nehmen. Der Zug von Brüssel nach Lüttich hatte „nur“ 40 Minuten Verspätung, und samstags gibt es nur einen Zug alle ZWEI Stunden nach Gouvy, denn, wie jeder weiß, niemand arbeitet an Samstag… Hallo SNCB! Bitte aufwachen! Wir sind im Jahr 2026, nicht 1926!
Works great and love the little snowflakes
I just noticed the little snowflakes that brighten up the app icon - I love it! Whoever thought of this, kudos to you - it made me smile and feel more festive :) Also the app works great imo. I use it to book tickets on the fly which is so neat because it saves me time and anguish by not having to find and walk to a ticket booth. I also use it to see if my train is delayed, which it usually is but that’s not the app's fault.
A terrible app
I tried to purchase a multi trip pass but it does not show in the app. I guessed one must create an account in our order to do so. But when I tried to create an account, after entering all the information, it never sent the verification email that is needed to validate the account. I gave up. I should have read the reviews first.
App rapide et facile
Application rapide et facile d'utilisation. Les paramètres sont simples. Visibilité et interface sympathiques. Peut faire mieux au niveau des options de paiement.
Not ok
Not working you cannot buy brupass xl on it. Waste of time
Pas mal
Serait-il possible de retrouver ses tickets dans l’application quand on les achète avec son compte sur un ordinateur ? Ca serait pratique, merci
Much better now
I’ve read some of the one-star reviews of this app and sympathize with the frustrations of these users. They make some very valid and helpful observations. However, I think the developers really took the feedback to heart and worked hard to fix these gaps. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and had a very smooth experience with good UX. I entered my AMEX card information once, then it was a single click to purchase tickets for any subsequent trips. The “favorites” function is helpful as I can tentatively choose options for going to the airport, then purchase once I commit to a specific schedule. One feature that would be additionally helpful would be to build an option to download the e-ticket to Apple Wallet.
Not functional
The app used to be great. Now it doesn’t function, can’t buy ticket, can’t log in. Currently it’s useless.
je valide totalement
de temps en temps des bug mais sinon toujours précis et très pratique
Incompétents ou voleurs, dur à dire
L’appli force a l’achat d’un ticket plein tarif même lorsque le train sélectionné est un train heure creuse.
Geen internet melding
De UX kan echt wel verbeteren qua in-appmeldingen. Kan de geen internet-melding naar boven of een andere locatie verplaatst worden, i.p.v. over de menu-balk. Zodat je wanneer je geen internet hebt op de trein, zeer vaak dus, meteen aan je ticket kan, de conducteur verliest hier best wel wat tijd mee.
Must-have tool for seeing Belgium
This app was great for touring around the country. The only downside is that it directs you to the sncb web site to log in instead of doing it through the app. But once that’s done, you’re all set. Purchased the 10-ride multi pass which was super easy to use and probably saved us 100 euros.
Crap don’t download
Doesn’t work
Fine
Seems to work fine compared to the other ticket alps
Not intuitive
Adding a credit card was quite frustrating as it kept going around in circles. I need to update the hierarchy and algorithm of adding a credit card. I did discuss this with the personnel.
Good but if payment fails, incomplete subscriptions remain
Good app but why not cater for payment failing? After trying to purchase flex ticket (which can only be done in the app), and supplements for De Lijn and Stib, the payment failed as I left the app to authorise the payment. Now my purchases screen is filled with incomplete subscriptions which I have not way of removing. And I can’t try to buy the supplements again as it tells me I already have existing subscriptions.
Great application.
It is by far one of the easiest mobilisation apps I have ever used. I travel a lot and have used different apps internationally. This Belgian one seems to work super smooth and offers a great user experience. It’s easy to use, fast and correct. When you have bought a multi pass, and afterwards you try and buy another train ticket. It will remind you that you can use the multi pass.
Say what??
Be aware that if you buy a ticket thru the app, you have to be able to show it on your phone when being checked on the train… And unfortunately most of the time the phone signal on the train seems to be insufficient to do just that. In addition, when you either take a picture of your ticket, or print it, neither one is deemed to be acceptable for the train conductor, and you’re obligated to buy a new ticket!
Ok but...
Only for planning and tickets which works fine, but no longer possible to simply view arrival or departure tables of a train station...?
Lacks important details.
The app lacks important details. Say you want to go from Brussels to Bruges. The app tells you to get on a train at quay 6 at a certain time. The train will be labeled something else, like Ostende but the app won’t tell you that, nor will the app list all the stops the train makes so you can understand if you are on the right train or not. By comparison, a popular metro map app for Paris tells you get on a train at. A certain station and time IN THE DIRECTION of “xyz” and most often lists the number of stops before your destination. We used this app for 2 days I Belgium and ended up in the wrong train about 50% of the time. In addition, you can not access the raw time tables, nor can you see which trains left a station at any time from a given station. You can’t even look up the train you may be on if it has left the station. Best get as many time tables as you can and figure it out manually yourself.
Some improvements needed
The app itself is a lot better than what it used to be. However I still have a couple of problems that are frustrating to me. I use the app quite often to buy my ticket.. however, I live in a small village and must always go to a bigger village to make a connection to a different train. The problem is, no matter what I do, the app always shows me to take a connecting train an HOUR later. Let’s say my train arrives at 15:30, there’s a train to Brussels at 15:50.. the app refuses to show me the 15:50 train and instead tells me to take the one at 16:50. For the smaller trip I do a few times a week this is okay, I know my journey, it’s not a problem. However when I’m in Brussels this is a huge problem for me and leads to so much confusion. I’ve tried to change some settings, it seems like everything should work, but alas, it does not. The next problem I have is more just inconvenient but still a nuisance. Every time I enter my bank card details I am always sure to ‘save the card for future use’, but it never saves. So I must search for my card number every time. It used to work perfectly but a few months ago it stopped randomly. Not a bad app, can tell a lot has been changed to make it better and for that I am grateful.
