NL Train Navigator is the best travel companion when you travel by train in the Netherlands! You are immediately notified about service disruptions on your railway lines. Live departure times are available for all railway stations, including information about train length. Finally, the journey planner allows you to plan trips throughout the Netherlands. And best of all: it's free and has no ads!
NL Train Navigator provides information about all Dutch railway companies: the Dutch national railways (Nederlandse Spoorwegen), Arriva, Breng, Connexxion, Syntus and Veolia. There is also information available about international trains that run through the Netherlands, including Thalys, ICE International and all trains that cross the border with Belgium or Germany.
Do you often depart from the same stations? It's easy to mark a station as favorite, just check the app settings. You can look up stations quickly by entering a part of the name or its abbreviation. The journey planner is also optimized for speed; you can search for the next departing train or find the last train of the day.
NL Train Navigator sends notifications about service disruptions. You can subscribe to service disruptions for your favorite railway lines, so you are notified about serious service disruptions in advance. You can also choose to disable all notifications.
For Dashclock users: a Dashclock extension is included in the app, so you can see the number of service disruptions in your Dashclock widget. You don't need to install a separate Dashclock extension to use this feature.
The app has a user-friendly and modern Android design, and is also fully compatible with tablets.

Brilliant app. Buy the add free. Worth every penny
Can not remove the adverts nor is it clear how to buy the ad-free version! Lousy programming soes not deserve a good rating.
Told me 2 minutes to change from platform 3 to 4 at Rotterdam centraal. The trains from Rotterdam centraal to Vlissingen via Dordrecht, my stop were all going from platform 6. The intercity trains from platform 4 were going to Brussels! They said they changed platforms last minute but I'm sorry to say that is INCORRECT. ALL the Vlissingen trains were going from platform 6. Please convey my DISSATISFACTION!! Incorrect information is worse than no information!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
best app for real-time situation
Thanks! Happy to support :)
Very convenient app to quickly check if my train is running as scheduled.
Good app for travel around Netherlands and vicinity. Use mainly for trains. Can't yet use online booking. DB app should give some hints.
Welll conceived, works perfectly, simply the best among all I have tested. Well done dev, please keep up the good work.
Only add the option to share a planned journey to Google Calendar and you've also earned the fifth star (and I can finally delete the lousy NS app).
I just found this app in the Play Store search results, and I have a feeling I am going to like it better than the official Dutch Railways (NS) app. It is so much faster! Especially when loading/searching the railway stations list, that's one thing the NS app builders never got quite right, but planner results also seem to show up more quickly. You'd miss your train waiting for the NS app... The only thing I didn't see is an option to store a particular travel advice (other than by using the Android screenshot feature). Add that, and you've definitely earned your fifth star.
Information about the train composition rocks.
Am a new user and my experience with it is great!!!
Most important: available also for install on other country ROMs (which the official Dutch Railways app in quite a few cases is not). The only thing missing is the possibility to somehow save planned trips (e.g. to check something during the trip)
what makes it different with other similar application is it has info about disruption. pitty that its only in dutch.
Unfortunately I use a lot the share feature. If I visit someone and I need to be picked up, I swnd the advice from the app to the the person to pick me up. Here I see no sharing options. Fir the rest... I love the colir schema and tje simplicity of use. Please, add sharing with whatsupp, sms.... and more
Simple and easy way to get to ur destination it's very helpful
This is grateful application I like it really
I loved traveling
Quick, to the point app.
Awesome website. However, app navigation should be improved.
