OVinfo, developed by OVapi B.V., is a Netherlands-focused public transport tracker for iPhone that aggregates live departures and vehicle positions to help passengers monitor services. It uses official National Data Public Transport feeds for operator-level accuracy. The app shows departure boards and live map tracking while emphasising accessibility aids such as VoiceOver and dynamic text sizing. It targets commuters and occasional travellers who need timely status updates and accessibility information.

The app consolidates official ND-OV feeds into a single national departure board

The app consumes National Data Public Transport (ND-OV) feeds, presenting the same operator-level timetables used by carriers. That independent aggregation places trains, buses, trams, and metros in one interface and lets users save stops with the built-in bookmark feature. The sourced feeds drive departure lists and make the app a focused reference point for Dutch public transport timings and planning.

Live vehicle positions and automatic delay estimates keep expected arrivals current

Vehicle positions appear on an interactive map so riders can track approaching services in real time. The app computes delay estimates and propagates arrival updates for upcoming stops automatically, showing changing ETAs as vehicles move. Some local 'buurtbussen' lack tracking hardware, and temporary outages or route deviations can occasionally remove live data for specific vehicles, which affects what appears on the map.

Accessibility features address mobility and visual-impairment needs directly

Designed with accessibility in mind, the app implements VoiceOver support across controls and honours dynamic font sizing to improve legibility. It exposes barrier-free boarding information and station guide lines to assist passengers with reduced mobility, and includes Dark Mode to lower glare at night. Those elements are presented alongside departure information so passengers who rely on assistive settings can plan and navigate stations more confidently.

iPhone and iPad compatibility relies on up-to-date iOS and sustained data maintenance

The app runs on iPhone and iPad and requires a recent version of the operating system for optimal performance. OVapi brings nearly 15 years of experience processing and distributing ND-OV data, which explains the emphasis on operator-grade feed handling. Because the developer maintains servers and data pipelines, timely live updates depend on that ongoing operational work rather than on device-only processing.

A practical choice for travellers who need independent, accessible live transit data

The app is ad-supported to fund ongoing maintenance, with a one-time in-app upgrade available to remove advertisements; users praise its accuracy and independent sourcing of ND-OV feeds. Expect occasional missing traces on locally untracked buses. Enable automatic app updates and keep the device’s system current to receive data-feed fixes and reduce the chance of display or map issues after updates.
