Great app!
Easy to use and reliable.
Terrible website
I’ve been trying to change my payment card forever, and there is no intuitive way to do it. This app is horrible.
Vraag over tickets
Kan de tickets offline in de app alsjeblieft
Has basically stopped working
In the hopes the developers read these reviews, I say, “Hey! Your app has stopped working!” Tabs don’t load, live updates don’t work, it hangs endlessly. Are you not supporting it any more?
Fietstickets
Treintickets boeken voor reizigers lukt redelijk goed. Maar je kan er wel geen tickets voor je fiets mee boeken. Dat moet dan weer online op de website gebeuren. Het mag wel wat gebruiksvriendelijker allemaal. De NMBS beschouwt fietsers blijkbaar nog steeds als een marginaal reizigerspubliek. Jammer want er komen er hoe langer hoe meer.
Easy to use-‘dashboard’ view is super convenient.
I really appreciate how well this app is designed. The UI is pretty clean and is easy for the travel pro and the beginner to use.
Can’t Login
The iPhone app won’t let me login to my account even though I am able to login in on iPad and iMac web browser interfaces.
Expérience utilisateur
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.
Problem in the Netherlands
The QR can not be scanned in the Netherlands in an iPhone due to the NFC readers
Problèmes réguliers pour réserver des trajets internationaux
J’ai régulièrement des problèmes pour réserver mes trajets internationaux (ligne Mons / Lille, en passant par Tournai). Souvent le jour J ils ne me proposent plus le trajet sur l’appli (ou sur le site web) alors qu’il existe et qu’il y a bien un trajet toutes les heures. Ou alors l’appli me propose un trajet de 2h (en passant par Mouscron voire par Bruxelles) alors que le trajet classique par Tournai existe bien. Donc je dois réserver mon trajet sur une borne et pas via l’application. C’est très dommage et contraignant ! Merci de résoudre ce problème ! (C’est encore plus dommage que quand ça marche c’est mieux que via la SNCF car on a les horaires !)
Useful
Responsive, and saves time!
Bad UX
This app is terrible—to buy tickets, it just takes you to the website, and then when you try to pay it shows the web format screen in your phone, meaning the fields to type your credit card info Into are all just one millimeter tall, and when you try to zoom it only zooms from the upper left corner, so you can no longer see or tap any of the fields. Oh, and it doesn’t take iDeal payment. What’s the point of the app if it’s actively worse than using the website??
Goed
Is biet echt “modern” maar wel ok qua info en gebruik
One huge omission….
You cannot upload an anytime use ticket into the app. Why? Because the don’t get assigned a DNR number like actual booked timed tickets. This is just without thought. So now I have a ticket and I can’t upload it into the app simply because I purchased it through Belgium train tickets instead of the app????😬
Kan beter
Naar Duitsland geweest maar hele reis was niet zo duidelijk in verband met de tussenstop. En updates waren ook niet zo up to date.
Easy
Effective and easy way to book travel
VERY difficult app to use, NOT USER FRIENDLY!!!
This app is very difficult to use. When I tried to pay for a ticket using a credit card, the payment screen was very small and I could barely read it. When I tried to zoom in, the screen zoomed into the left edge, not the center part with the name and card number boxes. I had to fill in my name and number without being able to see what I typed. The only way I could see what I typed or select the payment button was to zoom all the way out. Also, when I got my ticket, the ticket didn’t automatically load to the app (even though I bought it in the app), there was no track info, and there was no booking reference code. It’s a good thing the ticket was emailed to me. Otherwise, I’d have lost the ticket when I exited the app and then went back to it to figure out my track info. I use other train apps like DB Navigator and it is much, much, much better than the SNCB app. This app is terrible and needs to be overhauled.
Works like clockwork
What you see is what you get basically. Going backwards not always perfect but generally speaking it does what it should.
Slow to load with a backwards layout
Layout is not user friendly for comparing price and time options. It inly loads limited trains per page view. Very disappointing app that doesn’t at all reflect upon the great SNCB service and offers.
Mise à jour
Cette nouvelle version est nettement meilleure. Il reste cependant encore un peu de travail à faire sur l'ergonomie. La SNCB, faites-vous suffisamment de tests avant de lâcher le bébé ? Remarque : les captures d'écrans donnés exemple correspondent à l'ancienne version. Cela fait tout de même un peu désordre pour une institution comme la vôtre...
Easy to use
Like the real time alerts and being able to check the boards when I'm traveling.
Terrible "Upgrade"
This app was updated in mid 2022 and since then has been TERRIBLE. Interface is awkward, data not available, regularly does not work, and data analytics make no sense. Sometimes change is not actually necessary--in this case it was a huge step backward.
Sncb
Not easy way to book a train ride from Paris to Arcachon
app très lente
J’ai essayé de réserver mon billet à plusieurs reprises par l’application rien que pour accéder a la page de payement cela ma pris plus de 5 minutes d’attente. Lorsque que l’on arrive sur la page de payement les payement apple pay et google pay ne sont pas supportés ce qui rend la tache encore plus longue et peasant. J’ai du payer 7€ de plus au guichet de la gare. A eviter si votre train est dans l’heure qui suit. (PS: SNCB remboursé moi mes 7€, je ne dois pas être pénalisé car votre application n’est pas à l’air du jour!)
Plante au démarrage
J’étais très content de cette application. J’ai réservé mes voyages avec mais ne pourrai pas l’utiliser car elle plante systématiquement en ce moment.
Great for US visitor
For work I need to travel from Amsterdam to Antwerpen every 3 months. This app makes the trip very simple and easy for someone not familiar with the European train system.
Charging money with no ticket
I was charged money on my card without having the ticket, after is payed i got a confirmation and then 5 seconds later i got an error message!!
Bien mais ...
Il est impossible d’ajouter les notifications sur un trajet en train, cela ne marche pas (erreur serveur)
When will this app be updated
I keep waiting for this app to be either updated to actually feel like it is a 2025 app and not a 2015 app or be merged into the good national SNCB app…
Bien, mais peut faire mieux.
L'app est bien, mais son utilisation peut sembler un peu compliquée.
Fantastic for a non-Europeans!!
Being from the USA, this app really made the process of getting from one country to another a lot less of a headache. I went from Amsterdam to Brussels to Frankfurt and then back to Amsterdam using this app the entire way and it couldn't have been any simpler, especially in 3 countries with 3 separate languages. Another note, I planned all of my train rides literally last minute (not for the faint of heart, please, plan accordingly if you're traveling) and it really did streamline the booking process. Just remember, when using a calendar, unlike most instances in the USA where the calendar week begins on Sunday, this app, as well as many other things begins with Monday. Triple-check everything!! It was MY mistake when I booked a ticket on the wrong date, but the app made it very simple to fix MY error.
App marginal, company can't be trusted
We wanted Thalys from Brussels to AMS, not possible due to maintenance...OK...booked IC...2 days prior to travel we get notice it will be 2 trains and 1 bus...argh, but we go...turns out to be 6 change of trains/bus, soaking wet due to ineptitude, arriving 3 hours late...NEVER AGAIN!
Easy
Easy to use!
no notifications for the strike
Had a international train booked, all notifications were active but didn’t get any about the canceled train in the Belgian part
Railway app
Check out the swiss SBB railways app how to make a good design
Great app
Very easy to use and helpful if your not from europe. Made booking a train very easy and quick and without all the fees other websites charge.
Does not work
Continuously getting message that server cannot be reached, hence no information of trains matching my selection. Poor!
Good for traveling
As an American, I appreciate the ease of use though we don't speak the language, we made it fine.
App not full screen
The app works good and is really helpful but the optimisation is weak , is not even full screen , it’s not an app it’s more like a browser on an app I think .
Good when it works
When I manage to book the ticket - it's great, fast and convenient. However, more often than not, when I select a starting point, I'm not able to find my intended destination point anymore, and this includes big cities like Brussels. Definitely a bug that needs to be fixed to make the app unable again.
Easy yo use!
Quite easy, familiar and intuitive APp!!well done
It doesn't work well
I tried to add my tickets and I couldn't it. Serve connection issues. It showed me a message about an update but app wasn't able to update by itself.
Does a good job
Full of useful information!
Works only 50% of the time
Very frustrating. Whilst the online version works rather well, this mobile app is a disaster!!
Pro Tip
I couldn't add tickets just by typing in the confirmation number and my email, but I was able to get them using the "Add To App" button in the confirmation email from my reservation. Very strange, hope this helps someone.
Works well
Accesses a lot of trains and cheap fares. You can keep your e-tickets on your phone in the app.
Date selection doesn't work
I'm able to select the departure and arrival cities, but when I select the date, it looks like the date popup box gets stuck and the app freezes. I have to close the app and reopen it to get it to start working again, but it freezes at the date selection every time.
Good App but....
The App is a good job. The idea of e-tickets is well managed. However the fact that you have SNCB behind and their bad management for booking and their multiple mistakes and bugs makes it unusable. Too bad for customer who has been fooled by appearances!! Made in Belgium of course!!
Nice App But...
Couldn't make the booking, couldn't work out why... Not very UK-friendly
Bonne app mais peut être améliorée
Il manque Lille Europe comme destination régulière qu'il faudrait rajouter
