Thanks for this app. The official sncb app is not compatible with my phone, so this is more than welcome!

It is working with latest version of android again. There is a bug from before where the timetables are not updated accordingly. Then the app must be closed or sometimes it's fixed by swapping tabs in app (routes to traffic for example)
