I have used this app for a few years and really liked it. But now it won't open. I have uninstalled and tried again a couple of times. Same thing. Won't open! Sad that I have to find another app.

I edit this to two stars and am going to try HyperRail instead. This app keeps giving wrong times! This morning, 20min before my train, it was showing 12, then 13 minutes delay. I go to the train station in a leisurely stroll. I get there - empty. I look at the app, it had changed the delay to 5 minutes! The change was made probably a couple of minutes before the train came.

It's a good App. I use BeTrains a lot for simplicity, -SNCB national- is also good for buying tickets and -Belgium Trains- has a nice interface
