About Oyster Reader

A simple yet effective Oyster balance reader. Displays user's Oyster balance quickly with the touch of an Oyster card or a single click.

Shows your Oyster balance by touching your Oyster card against your phone (if device is NFC capable). Or displays your balance with a single click, if your phone doesn't support NFC.

If you have an issue with Oyster Reader, please contact me directly instead of leaving a negative comment. I am happy to look at any issues and will respond quickly, if possible.

* Now, has the ability to retrieve the balance from accounts with multiple cards registered.
* A fix for an issue where some users were having trouble signing in.

Despite the update, I still haven't been able to log in to my Oyster account. Have checked via a normal browser and all of my details are fine. A huge shame

I couldn't believe it at first. Read the reviews and bought it. Guess what it works as it said in description. Happy

T70%
by T####:

Once again, this app has stopped working as it won't allow you to log into your account. Shame, as it's a nice tool when it works.

Z70%
by Z####:

A great app when it's fully functional but haven't been able to use it in months. I have the latest version but can't seem to log in even though my login details are completely correct. Would like an update please. Could be a 5 star app if it worked!

T70%
by T####:

Nice app, but it logs you out when you have a season ticket active. I would give 5 stars, if I could see the weekly/monthly tickets as well, not just the top-up balance. Keep up the good work!

T70%
by T####:

Would be great to give it some nice Material Design styling though. Also, are our details safe?

T70%
by T####:

TfL have overhauled their back end. This app needs updating to match. Dev does not respond to email. Money wasted :(

T70%
by T####:

I made the mistake to pay for this app and it only works about 2% of the time. The rest is Login Failure or Unable to Connect. I was forced to buy another app. Please fix it, or give us refund.

C70%

Tried thid app, tried to log in but wouldnt work. Please fix your app. If it actually tells you the balance on your card then make the app work. Not tryna leave any negative comments.

K70%

Installed it and didn't let me sign in with my oyster username and password. Tried so many times I got blocked and had to call TFL. Reset password and what do ya know? It STILL didn't work - I only have one card on the account so the app didn't work for no good reason. Got a refund THANK GOD. NO ONE BUY THIS APP.

Most people don't know that you need NFC in your phone to do it. What is the bad reviews for. It's works great. Good job man.

T70%
by T####:

App worked fine for a few months then logged me out and will not accept my log in details ever since. Emailed maker but had absolutely no response. Poor, very poor

E70%
by E####:

I wish I could get my money back all you get is a blank black screen with only a balance and the NFC DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. It takes so long to update mist current balance save our money.

Been looking for something like this for a while, just tap the oyster on the phone then look at my balance.. Good stuff, can't wait for more features!

D70%
by D####:

Keep telling me login failed when all details are correct! What a waste of space and time!!!

U70%
by U####:

Not a very smart app only reads balance on a black screen. All the other oyster card apps which are free as well have maps and locations of all your surrounding top up shops. Only has the one feature which is ok but if its not free I would like to see more features. The refund Button has dissappeared after ten minutes.of downloading please can I have a refund. Good luck developers..
