User Reviews
Easy to use and very useful to notice if you have been overcharged in case of untouched readers. Refund system works very promptly.
Terrible app. Oyster card balance takes days to update on app when you top it up. Topped up on a friday and didnt show on app till i checked my balance at a shop on the following monday.
Frustratingly bad - because it is so close to being perfect! The good:- You can nickname your different Oyster cards. This is really useful if you have more than one oyster card registered under your account. For example, you might have one for domestic and one for work and/or your childrens' cards. The bad:- You cannot delete obsolete cards from the app. I lost a card but the lost Oyster card is stil showing on the app and it can't be removed by me. Auto top-up can only be changed once.
Great app, generally expect to see your journeys the next day though, but with Oyster it can be sooner. Great way to keep track of your Oyster balance.
I gave just one star because the touchless function never worked on my phone and the app go crash and quit itself all the time. Please Fix it!
Can't log in, keep telling me "wrong email or password.." Went back to the website, no problem at all to log in... Back to the app, and again "wrong ##########...."
It tells you what you need to know and allows you to do the basics. Would be better if refunds were possible too. Some times it logs out when least expected.
Horrible app. Cannot log into my account even though all credentials are OK and work on their website. Useless.
How do you remove an oyster card. There is an option to add one, which is fine, but no option to remove one. Say you lose your card, and get a new one, how do you remove the old oyster card?.
Used to work. Now it doesn't. Have tried twice to contact customer services. No reply. Tried to uninstall and reinstall. Simply useless. Edit: after a few months of problems with this I was eventually contacted by the person below who helped me out. Unfortunately customer services didn't do anything and it wasn't obvious what the problem was even though it had a very simple solution. Thankyou for your help Faith but TFL as a company could really have sorted this out for me ages ago.
I click on the app and it's just shows me a page with no prompt to login trying to use the app to top up.... Up the message from tfl they were right swipe left till it's shows login... However I still believe is should say for you to swipe left. Thank you for the reply 🙂
I was charged a maximum journey fare due to the ticket barriers not working, applied for a refund and I'm still waiting two months later.. if I could give TFL zero stars it'd still be too high
Good user interface, I just wish there was a deal for those who buy travel cards, I work in London and wondered if you could make it more customisable, example; if you work Monday to Friday, it could be exclusive to those days, unfortunately you have to pay for every single day when you buy a travel card. Please TfL, consider this!
Looks like it's broken. They claim I have an account registered for my email already, but when I click Reset Password they redirect me to a page where I must for godsake click bicycle photos (wat?), and when I try to register an account for my other email they proudly claim they've sent an activation link which they've seemingly failed to, actually (I wonder if they've sent it by Royal Mail, with three days guaranteed, and fifteen days if you're lucky, delivery term).
Still not working even after updating. When tapping out at train stations the app keeps reading I hadn't. It's ok on the buses. Now the app won't show any journey history or my fare balance.
Useful app, but sooo annoying that it constantly alerts that your balance is low, which is only 'cos until you finish your journey TFL deducts a notional maximum fare, which triggers the *#@&ING alert, but when you check, of course, your balance is fine. Stuff like that makes me really consider ditching it.
Makes life easier when topping up your oyster. In addition to that, you also get to see your journey history too.
It is good so far for topping up and checking your balance and journeys. Not have a major issue with this apps..
Great app allow you to top up anywhere you are, even in the convenient of your home..👏🏾👏🏾
Why does it not us access the main screen. Data usage page only with options to accept or decline. HELP
Good app for top up, or renew your travel card, would be useful if you could use the fingerprint to enter the app!
Why can't we have the option to disable the password login I find that rather annoying tbh, other than that it's a good app to use but give me the option to disable the password login if I would like to do so
Fares take days to process through Metrobank. I've been left short because of this issue. Not sure if the issue is my back or this app
Tried to top up but didnt see my money loaded onto my oyster card. I think they took it and left me with a £0.50 balance credit, i should have just poped into a local oyster shop, no problems there.
(UPDATE: Taking £17.20 for two journeys that shouldn't cost more than £4.70 each on a Saturday. No customer support. Numerous call that all turned out to be dead ends. It's very demoralizing for peoples.) Taking double amounts and charges twice the journey costs and they never refund you. This morning they denied a card on all their readers. Often left stranded as bus oyster reader fails on all MasterCard. Buy a car!
App can be made easier to navigate for a new user. I had to read reviews and responses to complaints before I could navigate the sign in page
Simple and easy to use. Very helpful when on the go and need a quick top up. Would be good to have an option to add just 5 pounds though
Great app for monitoring Pay As You Go travel. I wish it included the Journey Planner as a feature, however.
It really makes topping up easy but I wish they can introduce a £5 options sometimes I don't have enough and just need to get out quickly. But I've been enjoying the app so far!!!
I can top up my oyster card, from the app. It would be nice, if it could work on the Oyster reader. I'm happy using it
TFL should look into these issues; Why do I have to wait for 30 minutes to ride the when I top??? If the card in very small debt for example 10p it does not allow you to buy a travel card (weekly or otherwise) When you do not have credit on the card it does not show travel history
Good app over all but due to a constant technical issue it doesn't update my balance at any point which is making it difficult to know how much I have. It is also hard as I have autism and not having it shown is currently very hard in regards to my anxiety not knowing what is happening or having no control over the money I use
This was really a nice app, but just give the option to add photo oysters too. We don't have any app to check the balance in the photo oyster cards. Please consider it as a suggestion and resolve this issue.
App very useful and easy to use. The only inconvenience that for certain things it opens the browser and you have to log in to website where isn't as optimized for mobile browsers. Other than that 5 stars. I have thank to customer support they are fantastic and solved my problem very fast when I lost my oyster card. Very happy! Thank you!
Used to be great but now essentially useless as it keeps losing your login details/password so the top-up alert never works because it has logged you out by the time you need to know. I have lost money on having to pay again on journeys that should be free/hopper because I go into negative credit and this app hasn't warned me I was close. Also when it IS working it ignores the minimum top-up setting and warns you at £10 anyway!
This app allows you even to recharge your oyster card online but the balance gets updated after 30 minutes which needs to be looked in as if possible the balance should be reflected immediately so that the passenger doesn't have to wait for 30 minutes
Set alert for £2, yet the app notifies me that my Funds are low everytime I use the oyster card. This occured before, then it was fixed, now it's back.
I like this app. However, recently it's been refusing to log me in. I've tried everything - from changing my password to deleting all data from the app, to reinstalling. Damn shame.
Worked for a few weeks and seemed quite easy to check balance, journey history and top up. Then today it asked for my password to even open the app to check my balance. Said my password incorrect, which it wasn't. Called TFL twice to reset but that didn't work either.
£10 minimum top up is too high. If I want to take one bus somewhere and I have 0p on my Oyster card, I still have to top up £10. That is way too high. The minimum top up amount should be £1.50, which is one bus journey - or £3 max. You should be able to scan the oyster card on the phone app too.
You cannot have an app that directs itself to the website in which both the app and website will not allow a daily worker to update his travel card via phone. The app will tell me that the money on my oyster is low but when I sign in, the app doesn't even have a direct link to my oyster and I put my oyster card number in again but it says its already registered. Dont be cheap get some capable software engineers to do the job this is transport for London with one of the most expensive travel
Why does it not us access the main screen. Data usage page only with options to accept or decline. HELP. No one is worried nor afraid all I'm saying is that even when I accept or decline it still wont let me go through into the app.
Unable to give feedback within the app itself. I have set the low balance notification to happen at "below £2" but the app keeps sending the notification when I go below £10.
Nice and simple. Wait 15 minutes for online top-up to sync with the system before going to the station.
Changed from 5 stars to 1. After the update the app stopped working. During the current pandemic times, when encouraged to not use machine but app for tfl services. Disappointed.
This app helps track travel expenses. Is good to have the Oystercard that goes with it if there are travel glitches where refunds are due.
The fact that the top up option begins from 10 pounds when you can log in and top up from 5 pounds on the website remains a mystery! Why so inconsistent not everyone is going for a long journey some just a bus ride and 30 mins wait if u used an oyster machine its instant so this needs app needs to reflect.
Not very accurate or good. The app continually logs you out and does not display an accurate balance. The functionality is very limited and overall I do not trust it to tell me how much I have on my card.
What's wrong with photocards not making it to app. I'm utterly disgusted about this. When I wanna check my balance, top-up and make my journey free from machines, I'm getting no benefits. TFL should do this considering the trying times. What It'll take to make photo cards in the system??. I honestly wanna know what's are the obstacles
Needs more updates needs £5 top up, you got weekly topups, monthly topups but no weekend topups needs train & underground discounts it's to expensive we not all in top paid jobs. Not that I'm complaining about my job I love my job & happy with my wage, just the costly trains & bus (daylight robbery) NOT a happy customer :(
When you run out of credit you can top up the 4 stars is only because it can take 30 minutes before its on, you can check your journey history.
I like this app but not happy that you can't put how much you want to top up your oyster card. Not everyone want or have £10 minimum to top up. Give us a choice to put how much we decide to top up like £1.50 or £2 etc and save us from social distancing with others during convid-20 pandamic.
Does not accept payment - three times I added a new debit card, checked carefully. Refused every time. Yet no problem making a payment with this card on the website.
This app doesn't work. Not able to register my Oyster card. It doesn't seem to recognise the number it asks you to key in. My girlfriend also had the same issue.
Am I alone who was charged twice for a same journey? And it's happened e few times in a past half years
Easy to use fast and works in minutes , so much better than trying to find a shop to top up , would be great if discount given for monthly buys
Hi there. I hope somebody from the tfl team can help me. I have installed (and reinstalled) the app, however, after I accept the data usage, it redirects me to a frozen yellow page saying 'buy anytime, anywhere'. I cannot navigate out of this page, and therefore cannot use the app. Pls help. Thanks. SPEW. (please ignore the star rating I had to submit something to post this comment)
Yes I am satisfied with this app. It will be excellent if passenges can see the the stopage in the journey history of this app. Thanks.
It would not register oyster card. As I enter the card number, it says answer to security question is incorrect. Which security question, there isn't any?
Poor accessibility. Captchas everywhere. The on-boarding screens have no indicator (dots or arrows) to tell you to swipe or that there are other screens to see. I thought the app had frozen for a bit. I cannot add a contactless card here or on the website either... Server error
"We have detected, that your smartphone has been rooted or the App is manipulated. This can be a security risk" -- it's not, hasn't been, and it's not? Google play shows device is secure, Google Pay works fine, my banking apps work fine, but the tube app says no...? I can run it on a phone that hasn't had a security update for 2 years, but not one that has the latest October 2020 security patches installed? Do your developers know what they're doing? Or is this a bad management decision?
It will be great if the oyster card , will become contactless directly by phone , same as debit card used with Google Pay which is not possible yet with Oyster Card
A really useful and simple app. It's helpful to know that my card isrunning low and will need topping up. Definitely recommend this app.
Great Tfl app - so easy to use for top ups, journey history and journey planning. Never had any glitches. Recommended!
Dear developers, everytime I try to sign-in I get the following message: 'Network error. HTTP-Response'. Is something wrong with my device or is it another app bug? Thank you.
Need a way to delete my out-of-date credit card. Need a way to delete my Oyster card which has been fully refunded and deactivated, though TFL Oyster app still thinks it has £21 on it! Need a way to set one of my cards as the default, otherwise how do you know which card it's going to use?? Maybe different ones at different points in the journey which would confuse the system mightily.
Great app. It helps me to save a lot of time by topping up my oyster online and I can keep track of my balance.
I have tried topping up my card, it said the payment doesn't processed. Tried again, same thing. I have checked my bank account, it's been charged twice. It was 2 hours ago, the money still not appeared on my card, however I have used it. Now I am in negative balance.
Great app! I've used it for a couple of years or more (can't remember) to top up, buy season tickets, check my balance and look at my journey history. Really convenient and easy to use. Thank you.
Functional practical app, although the limit for deposits to the Oystercard need to be at least doubled from the current (April 2021) maximum of £90, considering the astronomical prices for travel around London when compared to all other cities and countries where I have been. Considering the unbelievable frequency and amounts of these rises you may soon need to incorporate a mortgage application feature with the fantastic app.
Very useful for topping up and checking my balance would be good if I could use it and tap on the card reader rather than carry my oyster card with me.
Easy to top up much better than going to an oyster outlet especially if you are in the middle of nowhere!!
Wish there was a way to "tap in" with the app on an NFC enabled mobile. I have twice forgotten my wallet but had my mobile but couldn't travel without going all the way back to get my wallet.
Pretty much just takes your money, as sois as something goes wrong or you lose your card, etc you have to contact TfL. You can top your oyster card only by £10 chunks and depending of their system it might take longer than what they say to actualize your oyster with your purchases on the app and the travels you've done. This app is not even worth two stars but it's what we have so I'm putting up with it for now.
What's wrong with photocards not making it to app.I'm utterly disgusted about this. When I wanna check my balance, top-up and make my journey free from machines, I'm getting no benefits. TFL should do this considering the trying times. What It'll take to make photo cards in the system? Thanks, faith for your reply I'm a CS student & I honestly wanna know the user stories and requirement analysis of this software, we're living in 2021 and not in the days of plan driven method but agile instead.
Bug: setting notifications to only alert when balance falls below £5 isn't respected. I'm currently notified every time my balance falls below £10. I don't want to keep that much money on my oyster (in case I lose it) , so this means I'm getting pinged all the time. Pleas fix!
The app itself is OK, but I'm not happy with some TFL policies that work in conjunction with the app & that's why I can't give it 5 stars.
A week ago cause Covid-19, I tried to not touch the ticket machine. I made a £10 refill using the app, but it didn't work. I lost money and bad experience👎
Very nice app... The app notifies you when the cards go below a certain amount so You can top-up for your loved ones without any worry.
Cannot log in. App wanted me to change password but impossible to do so using either Edge or DuckDuckGo browsers. It's easier logging into a bank account. Gave up
Trash company and trash app, reset my pasword 30 times, still unable to login, the chapcha is bugged infinit .
Extremely useful. So happy with it. I don't have to waste time going to top up my travel card at any station, I can do that from my own house or wherever I am. Super happy
I am using this app most of the time noticed that the top up i made does not come. Contacted TFL was waste of time made inquiry of two top up, git onky one refund now will be contacting TFL for three more Looks like scame
Very Glitchy, sometimes it chooses to work other times it doesn't show the journey history or glitches when it does. You can't sort out incomplete journeys on it, very annoying app
Used to work. Now it doesn't. Have tried twice to contact customer services. No reply. Tried to uninstall and reinstall. Simply useless.
Uninstalled a couple of times and reinstalled. The app is working fine now I'm pleased to say. Would have given 5 stars ,however I haven't tried it on the trains , due to limited travelling.
Works fine. Only problem when topping up it can take up to 10-15 minutes to appear on your card. Quick to take your money, slow to show on your card.
A pain... A minimum of £10 to pop up. And, be there in mind that will take up to 30m to be the card.
Simple but working, very handy when you need to top up. The only negative note so far is that you can't put the same nickname for a replacement card (I lost one and wanted to put the same name). Obviously I added a number to the nickname but it's no the same!
I'm so disappointed that I just lost my oyster card and I want to transfer the money and disable it and I can't because even if the card is registered in the app, it does not show on website. How ridiculous this could be?!
Easy to purchase travelcard and top up Oyster. Have been using the app since launch, have had no problems with it.
One dislike about the app is "electronic debit card appearing twice" in the app. I know the "why" behind this is explained in the app FAQ but seeing duplicated info makes things confusing. Please address this if possible. Do that and 5 stars will be given from here. Apart from that, it's a great idea. App works well, almost rendering having an Oystercard redundant if you use a debit card.
Easy and convenient app to use, I wish I can add my daughter ZIP card that I can top it up for her instead of going to the station or shop.
Good for keeping track of spend and history but i think its awful you can only top up from £10 upwards and in certain multiples. Thiscis the same as machines on the underground. Not an app issue, as obviously dictated by tfl policy. Hope this feedback is considered.
Can't sign in on the app,it keeps saying my password or username is wrong yet I can sign in on the web version,using the same password and username I tried for the app.Im not changing my password when it's working perfectly fine
It really helps to manage the tickets and top up credit value on my oyster card as well as check my journey history. There are some things this app cannot do that you can do on the website but for quick maintenance this app is great and easy to use!
It's ok for managing the ways you pay. It's not very helpful with commuting or providing any live updates to journeys. You also cannot use most of the features offline which doesn't help especially when you are in the underground.
Used to work fine, changed phone and now it doesn't. Comes up with a page about data which I accept then goes to another screen where it just freezes and I can't log into my account. Very frustrating
Terrible user experience, keeps logging you out, not sure what TFL is doing with the insane fares it charges but they're certainly not spending it on developing a better app.
Ive not yet used my contactless Oyster card app but I've registered a credit card account. So when I board a bus and swipe my phone how does it know the length of my journey and what needs paying?
It's very convient, to track your oyster,and see how much you spend money for your journey,I find a difficulty to check my history it use to open easily and then not anymore, is that at the settings?
You asked for a clarification to my earlier review so here it is. It was VERY difficult to register my Oyster Card to the app. I had to phone the number and speak to someone to do that for me - I felt that I should have been myself on the app. I was told I had to do it on the TfL website, but when I tried on the phone it wasn't possible. When I asked the TfL person they said I needed to use a laptop computer. (I don't have one). Topping up was complex too 1st time round.
Makes my life sooo much easier! I check my balance, top up, check I've been properly charged, all from my phone. Thank you guys!
The app doesn't work at all. Just open up the first page and then you can't navigate anywhere. Someone needs to look into it Urgently
What's wrong with this app? It was apparently working fine on my previous phone, despite some hiccups every now and then. But now, it doesn’t function at all on my new phone, can't even register my Oyster with it, let alone try to do the other stuffs (top-up, journey history). It's an essential app during pandemic days, so developers, are you listening?
Functional practical app, although the limit for deposits to the Oystercard need to be at least doubled considering the astronomical prices for travel around London when compared to all other cities and countries where I have been. Considering the unbelievable frequency and amounts of these rises you may soon need to incorporate a mortgage application feature with the fantastic app.
Doesn't work, open the app and it gets stuck on the loading screen which is a shame cause I genuinely used to use this app and it was very helpful
Easy to manage, easy to top up, but it takes time to see your journeys, especially on buses. The travel history is updating much later in the same day, but for the buses you need to wait till the next day. In fact is a good app.
Oyster card balance slow to update on app when you top it up. Topped up on a friday and didnt show on app till i checked my balance at a shop on the following monday.
It was working fine in my previous phone. Now it doesn't work on my new phone. Does this mean my new phone which is S20 fe 5G doesn't support this app or what???
Very useful for someone like me as I work really early mornings. Going to a shop to buy a new bus pass isn't always practical. Just order one online and I get it as I go to work. Less hassle
A good app, saves time at the ticket machines, and shows you how much is being charged for each journey.
Overall a good app. Frustrating that it is the only app that continues to ask me every week when I top up that I have to log in. If I really have to log in regularly, can it not use my fingerprint like my banking apps?
Worked really well up until recently, now it just takes my money, tops up nothing and then sends me a refund a day later.
It's perfectly fine, except that it doesn't allow you to tap in or out through your phone, instead of having to carry the physical oyster card always with you. Hope they can change this in the near future.
Has worked fine for me in the past - not sure if there's been an upgrade with bugs but it's not loading for me anymore and gets stuck on "buy anytime, anywhere" - won't let me log in etc. Help!
I wasn't able to add my student card to the app. It has to be a feature that is added soon because I don't see why the student cards are not accepted here
Pretty useful app to track your buses and card money but the only thing that is annoying is that you can't remove card from the App but I read you have to contact them so they manually remove it
Would have given 5 star if you did not gave to wait 30 minutes after top up. Been burnt too many times and had to pay extra with contactless!!!!
Stuck on the buy anywhere any time page on opening the app, worked on my s20 ultra but not on my s21 ultra
I've downloaded the app & every time I try to access the app I keep getting a message saying We have detected, that your smartphone has been rooted or the App is manipulated. This can be a security risk. Your device might be rooted. Check result=0×0110 Then it has close written at the bottom of the page, every time i click on close it takes me out of the app? Please can someone help?, I've deleted the app & downloaded it again a few times but every time I keep getting the same message. Help 😠
Journey history either doesn't work at all or only shows you the very last journey. Tells you you have incomplete journeys when you do not. Tells you the wrong balance. In the last month the app has become practically useless.
Very useful. I can top up my Oyster card everywhere and every time I need it and it helped me a lot of time.
Not intuitive for navigation from the home page. The icons are randomly dispersed across the page making it difficult to find the right one for topping up or renewing tickets
Truelly appalling app. Impossible to register, easy to get caught in a loop. Capcha designed by myopic tormentors.
Does not work. Just so it's on opening page. Tried to reinstall a few tea and same issue. On huawei p30pro
Good and convenient but not allowing the old oyster cards to be registered only accepts new cards when I also have the old types
I buy a travel card every week sometime monthly. With an additional weekly top up. Most times the trains are delayed. And am charged more money some times. Don't know what I should do.
Convenient app. but need to improve I have to keep sine in everytime I use.and should update to oyster card quicker.
I like it, it's good. I'd like to have though a better refreshing handling, e.g. when you swipe down to refresh amount, because recently I was caught without money in my oyster as the app showed I had for one journey, while in reality I've even used the emergency fare the previous day and didn't know it until I checked the history.
So easy and quick to top up and no searching for shops that do top ups,great app that works very well 😃,ive been using this for over a year now
It's very easy to get an idea where I travelled and whats my balance as well. And the best thing is it pops up in case your balance is low. And you can top up using your Debit card as well.
I've been using this for years and it's reliable and very handy. You need to top up 30 mom's before tapping in, but often it's updated within 15 minutes
I dont have no issues with the app suprised to see all these complaints to be honest. It's so useful if your out and your oyster is running low and you can just top up with your bank card. My friend introduced me to this app and it has really made my life easier.
The app tells you the exact times you used your oyster, how much each journey was with a daily total, logs what stations you used and what mode of transport. You can top up your oyster very easily, so easy to keep track of everything. Price alerts when your balance runs low.
Cant fault app to much works as supposed to. Only thing i would say is for anyone on a low budget adding a £5 top up option might be helpful to some as can do in oyster shops.
1 star for performing maintenance at 8pm on the TFL website. It's now 10.23pm and you are still performing maintenance. Why are you performing maintenance during peak hours when people are more likely to use the TFL website or app? Absolutely shamebolic incompetent business. When I find the time I will write a Trust Pilot review that will include a long list of everything that is wrong with TFL. I'm looking forward to the day TFL runs out of cash and goes out of business.
This app's useless. If you've got a first generation Oyster card, it can't read it! Back to the tried tested machine at the station, much more reliable.
App has "lost" visibility of my Oyster card. Tried to re-add, says already registered. Re-installed app, still same issue. Oyster card shows up fine in browser log-in!
All I can say is thank goodness for [redacted], rooted users back baby looking forward to hack your tubes soon 😎
I'm finding this app very useful indeed. It's great to be able to check on my journeys, and see how much they cost.
App is not working anymore, I just get a buy anytime anywhere screen. Update: It works now, thanks for the tip! I pressume it would be advantageous if it was made clear that you have to swipe to get to use the app. Thanks
Topped up £10. Oyster account stayed in the negative, and was charged for swipe I made believing I had topped up. According to CS the system hadn't caught because it was Sunday. If didn't have my debit card with me I would have been late for work. Critical on that day because I was opening. I don't know how helpful CS could have been in my case, but it really was a wasted phone call. Yes, I got to work on time...
How do i get past that error with check result=0x0001, although my phone is not rooted please? It seems to me that blocking rooted phones is the wrong way to implement security anyway. Just use encryption and sensible security practices like banking apps do.
Works well in general. Some glitches at times but nothing bad that an update doesn't sort. Top up process easy and keeps track of my journeys
I'm not able to see my cost journey, its show me the last used only, it was fine about a week or 10 days ago,no journey history
Quick and super easy app to use. Very convenient when you are in a rush. Prefer using this then logging onto the website.
Can't buy or top up, it used to be working now as soon i try to pres buy after selecting the card it's closing, i have installed and reinstall, same result, i have tried different cards, same result.
Terrible App. Always tells you straight away when you have a low balance then when you top it up it takes hours to show new balance. Useless app.
Not sure why it keeps crashing when topping up on the app now. It works fine on the website. Needs fixing!
This app doesn't even let you create an account, when creating a password correctly it doesn't let you go onto the next page.... Useless
Great app be awesome if it used some of the security features so I didn't have to you my password everytime I wanted to you it or a remember my device tick box
When it works it's great but when it doesn't it's frustrating as you get charged for an incomplete journey. I am also trying to update my card and it doesn't work.
Love the app, it is very convenient when you are on the go. The app does freeze sometimes when accepting payment.
I am now unable to use the app and top up online. App freezes at the the green screen. Need help with this, as I am unable to use website version. It's asking for further information and I am unable to input card number because it has been worn away from the back of the card.
It would be helpful for to get an emergency boost like the £5 back up on the oyster card who travel all the time then next time have to replace it with a top up just a good brain wave of noing.
I created account via my PC, which was difficult enough until I found a browser the #*&+*# captcha would work with. Now the app won't recognise those same credentials so I can't login. Tried a password reset and ended up unable to escape another eternal captcha loop. Utterly ridiculous and frustrating. Not bothering with this nonsense now.
It's very convient, the track your oyster,and see how much you spend money for your journey,I find a difficulty to check my history it usec to open easily and then not anymore, is that at the settings?
Best app when you want to quickly top up your oyster and keep track of spending, would be awesome if you can turn the phone into an oyster card
Good app. Good way of managing your oyster. Would be nice if there was a virtual oyster card, say in case you forget your physical one. You can turn NFC on and use this instead. Would be nice. But overall, it does what is says on the tin.
Extremely limited functionality and options most serious issues yet to end up calling in and there seemed to helpful I prefer if there was more help available on the app and more options and it was more streamline and easier to use unless looked
Frustratingly close to being perfect! The good:- You can nickname your different Oyster cards. This is really useful if you have more than one oyster card registered under your account. For example, you might have one for domestic and one for work and/or your childrens' cards. You can't give cards nicknames on the website. The bad: - Annoyingly you can't delete obsolete cards from the app: only TfL can do this. If you could it would be perfect. Be aware that Auto Top-Up can only be changed once.
Can't register an oyster card. Eternal Captcha loops. won't recognise your password. Can't reset your password. Absolute garbage. Customer service non existent. No wonder TFL are bust. How much did the app developers charge you for this useless app?
Loads up an advert on first use and gives no indication that you're supposed to swipe through, leading you to believe that the app has frozen. Should really have an indication that you need to swipe.
Terrible app thought I would download it , to make topping up or buying monthly easier. Just stick to the website to top up . Whoever made this up clearly didn't test it properly or do any quality control . It took money from my bank account , but I have to now wait 24/48 . To receive my monthly bus pass and that's if it works. Honestly your better going through the website or a physical location to top up .
It can occasionally crash and show inaccurate balances but generally it is accurate. Not very user friendly but once you get used to it, it's fine
Won't work at all. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times now but nothing but a blank screen when I click "Accept"
My app does not work anymore since I used my Samsung s20 plus. It was working on my S9 what's happened tfl? I have uninstalled then installed but it doesn't go into the pages it used to
It is not a multifunctional app but it get the job done .you can add live bus/tube timming timing and put maps in it so they can rely to reach anywhere.
App notifications are annoying. I set the PAYG threshold to £2.00 but I still get "Balance is Low" notifications when I have £17 or £7 still on it. Basically your threshold notification isn't working.
Good app, would be really convenient if TFL could let you us the app to tap in and out and you would never have to worry about losing your oyster card
I couldn't see my travel history to check how much I've used on the day and if I was close to the daily cap. I thought uninstalling and reinstalling it again would have fixed this as it did in the past, but it didn't. It is actually worsen it, now I can't log back at all, I have been trying for 3 days. This is very poor! I need to go out, check my balance and load my card as not usind a machine due to Covid. Very very bad issue!
App won't open properly, it just sits on the loading screen permanently. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it hasn't changed.
