Online in the Netherlands

Good news! I’m using my phone not exclusively to check Twitter and listen to music anymore. A month after moving back the Netherlands I’m amazed by how much can be done using apps.

Check my bank account? There is an app for that. You can even transfer a limited amount of money with it. Check how much money is left on my OV (public transport) chip card? It is one tap away. When will a package be delivered? Go to the App Store and download an app. How much data did I use with my phone? Well, you know the answer.

In hindsight I’m wondering how much of this was possible in Switzerland. I might have missed some of it because I used the Dutch App Store, not the Swiss one. This meant the PostFinance app was not available to me. Maybe I should write a complaint on Twitter about that.
