GVB reis app App Reviews

For the love of all, just make it easy not confusing for travelers. Fix your machines and let the normal travelers/tourist purchase tickets like the rest of the world. Place the machines to purchase on the trans and buses. Even the ticket machines in the train station are broke and cash only.

Very easy to use even when I couldn’t read the language!

Try to scan your ticket, doesn’t work. Look at screen to find it’s asking for you to review the app

The app fails to tell you that the tickets expire

We bought the 96 hour pass. Really no issues for us. Occasionally the reader would activate Apple Pay which wouldn’t allow me to tap in. If used a different reader I could tap in and I also found if I had the back of my phone physically on the QR image on the reader it would not activate Apple Pay. So all in all I was happy with the app.

We used it our whole with great success!!!!

Is this app legit ? Is it official ? Why no reviews ?

Wife and I are in Amsterdam, so I grabbed this app and she stuck with Google Maps. Half the time you type in a place, it can’t find it. You have to go into the map, find a train or tram stop nearby, and then route to that. The problem is though, my wife found a faster route almost every single time through Google Maps and it was using a route this app didn’t even show me as a possibility.

PayPal would be a great option to pay with

App takes you to an external website to make the payment, no Apple pay. Most functions are dependent on an external web browser - makes you wonder, what is the point of the app then?

QR code is very hard to use. Was never able to check out with r. Recommend not to use QR

Who designed the functionality to link OV Chipkaart to this app? Whoever did doesn’t understand how OV works at all. To connect OV to the GBV app, the app expects you to find your most recent trip and then reference your bank account to find some 18 digit code for the trip. That isn’t how OV works! OV requires you to keep a balance on the card and top up as needed. This doesn’t produce a per-ride transaction in your bank account, or even an 18 digit code for the top up. Trying to connect OV to

No way to see what is available. What are they thinking?

Visited Amsterdam for a few days. Seems like half the QR code scanners I used wouldn’t scan my ticket! I was pretty much forced to buy another physical paper ticket.. tourists, avoid the app, just stick to the ticket booths.

Glad I bought a paper (72h) ticket given some of the reviews. But just for navigation this app needs a lot of work. The “map” doesn’t even show transit lines. The actual train map is buried. So I can’t see which direction the various (tram) lines are heading and Amsterdam has a very confusing layout. It also doesn’t even show all of the tram stops on the map. Like you can see the Google maps version underlying the interface but there is no “Tram” label to click on to see which trams service that
