About this app
BeTrains (not the official SNCB app) is the most useful application for people travelling by Train in Belgium.
It is aimed to be faster and easier to use than the official application.
You can of course access all realtime information of all belgian trains, their position on a map, and all the timetables in a very convenient way. You will never miss a train again.
In addition, you can get all the informations and warnings from the Belgian Rail Company, and even get in touch with other people in your train by opening the chat! Meet new friends, find your lost items in the train, and enjoy your trip with a modern and user friendly application.
This application is not the official SNCB / NMBS application and is an open source alternative.
It is using the realtime information from the Public Data of Belgian train company: https://www.belgiantrain.be/en/3rd-party-services/mobility-service-providers/public-data
This data is provided via irail ( iRail is a part of Open Knowledge Belgium)
https://docs.irail.be/
You can also access freely the source code and compile it by yourself: https://github.com/iRail/BeTrains-for-Android

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.

Hello.
Both HyperRail and Betrains use the same data from irail.be. you don't get any difference, except in the application design. Kind regards

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)

hello Christian, thanks for the updated review. Can you please drop me an email (Christophe.versieux@gmail.com) with more details about the refresh issue, I never noticed that issue and the "pull to refresh" should update all the details

Please add a facility to change language FR/NL/EN within the app after installing. It defaults to my phone language (EN) but I want to use it in FR because some info is only available in FR/NL.
