Dutch News in English

About this app

What's going on in the Netherlands today, in English. NEWS Dutch news in English from DutchNews.nl, NL Times and publishers across the web, by topic: politics, the economy, housing, immigration and expat rules, travel and transport, sport, education, tech and the royals. When several outlets carry the same story, it shows once. Follow your city, from Amsterdam and Rotterdam to Groningen and Maastricht, and the topics you care about, with a notification at most once a day for each, and never at night in the Netherlands. TODAY For your city: will it rain in the next two hours, and when it stops; the weather today and tomorrow; any KNMI weather warning for your province; train disruptions across the country; and what the euro is worth in your home currency. If you live abroad, it also shows the time in the Netherlands. THE EXPAT CALENDAR Every public holiday, with what's open and whether most people have the day off; school holidays for your region; the clock changes; and the money and paperwork dates newcomers miss: the income tax return, holiday allowance, benefit claims, and the deadline to switch health insurer. Get a reminder the evening before the ones you choose. DUTCH EXPLAINED Tweede Kamer, toeslagen, BSN, WOZ, demissionair: when a headline uses a Dutch term, tap it for a plain-English explanation. Or browse 150 of them, from politics and taxes to housing and health care. Works offline. A DUTCH WORD A DAY A word or phrase each day, with an example sentence and what it really means, from gezellig to "het regent pijpenstelen". Get it each morning if you like. WHAT IT CAN'T DO The news is written by the publishers it links to, not by us, and we aren't affiliated with them or with the Dutch government. Calendar dates and deadlines are general: check your own with the official source. The rain forecast is Buienradar's and the trains are Rijden de Treinen's; we show them, we don't make them. Free, with a single banner ad. A one-time purchase removes it.

App underwent total redesign and added numerous new features & improvements. News by topic and city, with notifications for the ones you follow; a Today tab with rain in the next two hours, train disruptions, weather warnings and the euro; an expat calendar of holidays, school holidays and tax deadlines with reminders; Dutch terms in the news explained; and a Dutch word a day.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
