User Reviews

Overall, users like the improved routing and the convenience of on-the-go ticketing, including multi-person purchases and the Favorites feature. However, recurring problems include payment failures and incomplete purchases, login and activation errors, app crashes, and timetable inaccuracies. Ticket verification can fail in poor signal, and some features still require work to ensure reliability. The app has clear value, but reliability and accurate scheduling remain the top issues to fix.

Pros

Routing is detailed and easy for multi-person ticket purchases.
On-the-go ticketing saves time and avoids lines at ticket booths.
The app UX has improved relative to earlier versions.
The Favorites feature helps plan trips quickly.
Once a payment method is saved, purchases can be completed with few taps.

Cons

Frequent payment failures and incomplete purchases; in-app payments often fail to complete.
Account/login problems and random technical errors; activation emails sometimes don't arrive.
App reliability issues: crashes, freezes, or not opening after updates.
Timetable/information inaccuracies: trains times wrong, not all stops shown, or hard to interpret routes.
Ticket verification can fail in areas with poor signal; tickets shown on phone or printed copies are often rejected.

Recent reviews

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.

Vending machines and app services out of service, no way to purchase tickets. Then they charged extra 9 euro on board

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.
