Luckily there are enough English cognates to make it out
Schedules
I would like to see a link to the NS train schedules when purchasing an Eticket. Now that I have my ticket , which train do I have to catch to get to the airport on time ?
The latest update broke the app completely
It is impossible to plan a trip between any 2 destinations. No matter what you select it says no trips available
New update
Removed the departures tab and greatly reduced the options in the latest update. I’m really not sure why this was done?
Security risk: app has no logout option
The NS app of the Dutch railways has a serious security issue: after one logs in with username and password it offers no option to log out. As a result any outsider who gets their hands on the phone and can open the app and find personal information like one’s pre purchased tickets with dates of travel on the app. This is unacceptable and needs to be addressed soonest. Now, while it is true that one can login from the app to one’s NS website account and log out again, that does not take away from the fact that once one is logged into the NS app without being logged in to NE website, the security issue I described above still exists. By contrast well designed railway apps like that of the SSB of Switzerland do have an option to log out the app so no one without a username and password can log in. This issue is especially serious for international travelers who, if the travel infrequently to the Netherlands, unlike Dutch public transport travelers will be unlikely to have their public transport card and means of pay (the OV chip card) which makes it easy to buy tickets and do without the NS app.
