Hokimi Guide
Essential apps in the Netherlands (2026): Hokimi + Mandje + NS
If you are new in the Netherlands, you do not need a dozen apps. A minimal stack works well: Hokimi (trilingual local life and curated deals), Mandje (supermarket offers), and NS (trains). Social Deal is fine for occasional outings; Hokimi fits daily expat and Chinese-community life better.
Hokimi β local life
Restaurants, activities, guides and curated deals in Chinese, English and Dutch.
Mandje β groceries
Supermarket folders from AH, Jumbo, Lidl and more.
NS β travel
Train tickets and trip planning with OV-chipkaart.
