For newcomers, once got the BSN number highly suggest to create DigiD which integrates appointment (afspraak) with local municipality, car, tax in general, etc. The interface is not the best, but is ok

For public transport user, apps such as NS (train) and RET (trem, train, bus)
For weather, BuienRadar or standard Yahoo or (IOS/Android) weather apps. Please note that outside activities and how to go there is really depending on the weather.

For car user, Flitsmeister. May detect traffic and (speed) standby/mobile camera ahead. Be sure to download the designation path while ones still have wi-fi connection. Otherwise it can be data consuming

This is a DIY country, so ones (usually head of the family) is advisable to check the weekly/monthly usage of their own energy/mobile consumption. Things such Vodafone, other provider and energy (Eneco, etc.) provides this kind of app.

Language, translate Nederlands to other language can be done by Google translate, with some small error. And it is not advisable to do the other way around.

Hello everyone,

For me the useful apps are:

DigiD (minjoverheid) because all the government emails can be seen here once you have got your BSN from the Gemente.

9292 - this is for those who always use the train. It tells you what train goes on what time and on what platform. Very useful for first timers in the NL and also for those who want to go to different places via train, say to sight see.

and the last one may sound silly but it is VERY helpful

Buienalarm - this app, believe it or not, tells you the exact time of the day and how much it will rain. This is very useful specially when you are living in a rainy country like the NL. It will notify you a few minutes before it rains or snows.

I hope this helps!

9292 for public transportation
