GVB travel app users say on Google Play
If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. The travel network in amsterdam is incredible and made easier by this app. It tells you times, location and any disruptions. Only thing it missed was one of the metros got diverted to the platform behind me because of the ajax game (literally just turned around and got on)
Despite reports of In-App Payment issues, the app’s UI and functionality deserve recognition. It provides comprehensive public transportation details, offering options like "Less Walking" and "Stopover" for user convenience. Handy widgets enhance the experience, while the integrated map simplifies navigation. Additionally, the dedicated map sections offer clear route insights, making travel planning effortless.
Gewoon zien wanneer een pont gaat is toch vrij ingewikkeld
The app is very confusing. It says it works in all the public transportation of Amsterdam, but when i tried to use the subway there it said not valid. And i had the 48h ticket. I had to go to the bus. If it's not supposed to work in all the public transportation, just say that.
The app should receive 0 stars in terms of UX design. Exiting the app after looking at a ticket price for 48h pass and then coming back to purchase the same caused 2 tickets to be charged without me ever pressing a plus/add button. The card payment page didn't show an order total and therefore I was charged for 2 tickets while I wanted to purchase one, just because I opened the app ticket section two times. Support refused to give a refund citing T&Cs. Avoid!
