The payment system, going via a lousy third party site, is not functional. Out of seven attempts with two different cards, five failed, one got through immediately, and one got through after green minutes, when i was already on the train, with a paper ticket. No refund of course. Now I use the app only for train schedules.

The app is extremely slow, then redirects to the website for most things, but then I MUST have the app to load E-tickets bought on the website, otherwise NS doesn't let me load them. The only positive thing I can say is that the app accurately represents the state of NS in general, with a lot of delays and too expensive for the quality of the service provided.

I am unable to log into the app, even though I can log in on the website. Also, the app lacks in-app registration, and registration through the website from mobile is a painful experience, and keeps switching back to Dutch. I was unable to accomplish my goal (registering a bike). It seems silly that you need to install a complicated phone app to take a bike on a train, and you can't simply add a bicycle tariff from a normal kiosk at the train station. Not tourist-friendly.
