Opal Card App - Opalapp for Android
The app is OK, easy to use and shows the remaining balance reliably BUT it crashes too often when opening the app, and by often I mean more than half of the times!!!! Once the app is open it works well.
I can't access my opal card. Username and password forgotten and it's saying card is not registered. Very very unhappy me!
Its alright, it shows me my balance and my transaction history, BUT I am really fed up with the minimum top up being $40 on the app. Im sick of going to newsagents to top up my card and having to wait 24hrs for it to actually be there for me to use just because I wanted $20 and not $40. I don't have a lot of money, $10-$20 is what I can afford each week. HELP ME OUT PLEASE.
Carnt login please contact opal the login page says . but I have no issue logging in via web just this app
Simple and nice to use app!
Useful app for tracking trips and spend. Working on android 6 now with update. No new features added with update but does what it says.
Cool
Crashes when it tries to log in
That is a good app, but I suggest that you add more features like "setting" to have more control.
Cant even log on or lead me to the website. Waste of money LOL
This app is terrible...ever since I downloaded it couple weeks ago it has worked ONCE...it always says opal website unavailable but when I go onto the website I can access it fine....fix your app or make it free and give me a refund because it sucks! !!!!!!!
The app looks great. However, it has more potential. Would love to see route planners with journey costs and Android wear support.
Was great uninstalled due to password issues. New phone won't install even though it's a purchased app. Galaxy s6 edge
... it has the potential to be more. It's clean, it's easy to use and it hasn't crashed in the 2 weeks I've been using it. What do I want? I want it to be able to calculate trips like Trip View, but also calculate the costs like Opal Travel. Only then will it receive 5 stars.
App doesn't work. Waste of money and time..
Apps like this should be free, especially when I can do basically all the things this app can do via the interweb
Needs to have a balance widget
Activity list is not as detailed or easy to read as others.
Looks clean and appealing. Please add a widget feature. Also it would be useful to show last week, current week, and today spent money.
Very simplistic and useful app. Easy to see your balance and see how many trips til you are able to travel free. It even let's you top up right from the app.
Since the last update the app isn't refreshing properly, didn't even know if I topped up my card, and hasn't registered any of my transport today.
I bought this app so i could check my balance and top up my card. It shows in the pictures and in the description but i Can NOT top my card up. Money Back Thanks.
Other users are getting errors trying to log in. I'm not sure if the developer knows, but even on the opal site, if you have already made an account, then try to log into that account using the opal card number, it will fail. Once you have a username and password, you need to use that alone. Great app guys!
View balance and top up nice and easy, no idea why the official app couldn't figure this.
Hi there. I have this app and the Opal Card. it does what it says, displays balance, history and free trip monitoring. I use it just for that, look at balance, where have i used the card, and to see if that week i will get a free ride. However i have forgotten the card at home a couple of times, as i have many cards in my wallet similar to Opal cards, and i remove the ones i will not use on the weekends. On Mondays.... i sometimes forget to put the OPAL Card back in my wallet. But I always take my phone!. thus i have access to my history/balance/Free trip monitor, but i am unable to pay my next Opal ride. Opal Card is just another card in my wallet. Cards, cards, cards. Everyone is producing an app with a card. Would it be cheaper to allow Mobile NFC (Near Frequency Communications) to link to your OPAL card balance, trip status, history, etc...? All these details are on a server, thus NFC plus mobile can access the same data as the Opal card does. No need to rummage your bag or pockets looking for your card or wallet. Phone is mostly on your hand, or at easy reach. Using the phone NFC to go in/out of Opal serviced transport should be much easier. Is this in the cards?.... soon?
Continues to throw the error Opal website unavailable. Has been doing so for the past 3 days. Attempted restarting, uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing app data and cache. Nothing works. If you have samsung gs5 don't buy this app.
I bought this thinking that I could access my travel history instantly and see how much money I have left on my card. Nothing works so far. It's hopeless. Total rip off
That is a good app, but I suggest that you add more features like "setting" to have more control.
Couldn't use this app at all. I figured that the website was down so I waited and the app still didn't connect. Tried to get a refund from Google but it was past the 2 hour trial period. Save your money.
Just continuously get an error message saying that it is unable to access the Opal website. Help suggestions are useless. Rip off!
The app itself is quite simple and displays the information nicely. Im revising my review as you no longer need to type password each type and the data seems to be a lot better.
Nice, but a widget would be very handy
Like it. What about some blue sky stuff and use the Google maps api to map the users last weeks trips? Just throwing it out there..
When I got this app it was great. But since the update 4 days ago my balance and trip history have not synced
Agree with others, entering the password each time is annoying, other than that it is a great app. Since new update, trips taken and balance has not updated...
Entering password each time is really pants! A widget might be nice too. Opaler offers all this, hope you will soon too.
Would have preferred if it doesn't require me to re-enter the password each time I have to login...... my device security is sufficient, and just another hassle having another application security to bypass..
Why do I have to re-enter my login credentials everytime? Very annoying, its not a bank.
Very useful app! Easy to use, well designed and handy top up feature.

Annoyed for a while now that the $20 option was removed from topping up. People pay money for this app and we're not even given a proper option with topping up. And they should send an E-receipt or something for the top ups like the top up machines since we're using our credit cards.
