About Leap Top-up

The Leap Top-Up app allows you to instantly check your balance, top-up your Leap Card and purchase tickets - directly from your NFC-enabled device.

Simply hold your Leap Card to the back of your NFC-enabled Android smartphone to instantly check your balance, purchase or collect a pre-paid ticket, or top-up your Leap Card – anytime, anywhere.

Key Features:
* Check your balance – see the current balance of any Leap Card
* Top-up instantly by using the dial to select a top-up value or tap to enter your desired amount
* Purchase pre-paid tickets (e.g. Dublin Bus Rambler and Bus Éireann Zonal tickets) and instantly load onto your Leap Card
* Collect pre-paid tickets e.g. Bus Éireann TaxSaver tickets or tickets bought online from LeapCard.ie
* View your last 5 transactions
* View your proximity to daily/weekly capping values
* Receive receipts via email for top-ups or purchases made via the app
* Save your payment details
* View your card information at a glance
* View Ticket information for tickets on your Leap Card

Note: The Leap Top-up app is only available on NFC-enabled Android devices. Users of some NFC-enabled Android devices may experience issues using the app due to the type of NFC technology within their device. The Leap Top-up App requires devices to be capable of “NFC Read/Write” functions. Some entry-level NFC devices are only capable of “NFC Card Emulation”, which is not sufficient for using the Leap Top-up App.

Great app. So handy for topping up card. Only issue I had was buying a bus eireann ticket through the app - ticket readers didn't pick it up. Same thing happened another person that I've heard of - gave feedback to leap card so it could be looked into but thought I should put it here too in case it wasn't passed on.

I'm on Nexus 5x, and the app can only read the card successfully when it's on a wifi connection. Data connections fail silently, and the loading animation doesn't get past the first tick. Issue also affects a OnePlus 5. On data; nothing. When connected to my hotspot; immediate success.

D70%
by D####:

Its simply for the convenience I give 5 stars. However, I had to upgrade my phone to get the app. Samsung s3 has nfc and yet you make the app unavailable to its version of android.. is there a good reason for this? A lot of people still have older phones eith nfc and cant use this.

Z70%

It is very convenient to add money when in a hurry. There is a recent problem with the reader, always stays reading and I need to close and open the app to get the status of the card. Is very confusing because it seems that the card is not read, but is just that do not change the screen to show the info

Only issue originally was the Huawei P10 Plus needs to scan the Leapcard so near the top of the phone it was hard to find it. App itself now works great. It even calculates the various caps and lists them individually & how much you've used of each. Top up is easy especially with coded top up option. Definitely worth a download.

Q70%
by Q####:

Topup works but very slow and fails very often. There is no reason for the card reading be so slow. Please fix it. Edit: I tried more than 40 times to read the card and failed. My NFC is working properly since I did many tests with other devices.

Z70%
by Z####:

Honestly how does the update work worse than the initial release. The amount of times I've had to try tap my card a couple times before it completely loads, crazy. It will load only half way the first time, then just freeze like???? fix the damn glitch will you

Z70%
by Z####:

Can you please add an option to not launch an app on any random NFC tag appearing near the phone?? Whenever my phone touches my passport, work pass, another android phone, credit card - this app pops up and tries reading the leap card balance. Such infuriating! Disabling NFC is not an option because of Android Pay

Z70%
by Z####:

Pretty terrible app. I have an NFC enabled Android phone, but for whatever reason the app never seems to be able to read my card. I constantly get an error message that says to close the app and restart it if the problem persists. I do this, but nothing ever changes. Quite annoying, what's the point of having an app for it if it doesn't work?

Z70%
by Z####:

Simply doesn't work. App can't read any card under any circumstances. My phone works fine with other NFC functions so 8t isn't the phone. Worked for a brief period about 18 months ago, then it updated and hasn't worked since. Samsung Note 5.

Z70%
by Z####:

When it works it's great but most times it fails reading the card. It is seriously flawed as it can read the card, take payment from your credit card and then fail to put the topup onto the leap card. This happened to me over a month ago and customer service had asked me the same questions over and over and still failed to refund me. I have just used it again today and exactly the same thing has happened and I have paid the money but have no topup on the card.

Z70%
by Z####:

Was working fine until last update and was such a convenience to topup when in hurry. Now its just stuck at reading card. Please fix it asap changing rating from 5 to 1 untill then as it no longer works the way its supposed to be.

C70%
by C####:

This app is handy for topping up your leap card on the go. However, it's quite a slow app and it crashes very often. None of this is ideal when you need to pay for a bus journey/ticket as quickly as possible.

K70%
by K####:

This App doesn't read my card properly. My phone is a Samsung J5 and I've never had issues using NFC. The app allowed me to add credit to it but won't read my card to load it. Very frustrating. Can't get the credit I paid for.

Z70%
by Z####:

Won't install on one year old Samsung phone.. apparently incompatible..and NFC doesn't work on my HTC.. won't acknowledge the card. Borrowed a phone to use it, very slow to acknowledge the card and puzzling interface for selecting amount. Overall very poor user experience.

I70%
by I####:

Awesome. Can top up my leap card anytime in a few seconds, so handy! The NFC connection usually crashes the app the first time but always works after that.

I70%
by I####:

This is the best travel card app. even Oyster card in London isn't as together as this. More than makes up for the lousy top up system that leap uses.

B70%
by B####:

Updates keep randomly breaking it. Currently scanning a card is very slow and simply fails ~50% of the time. When it works it's great, but that is getting to be less and less often.

Z70%
by Z####:

*update I tried to top up 20 euro, it charged my account but it left my card unreadable. It is great when it works, but it doesn't pick up my card most of the time. My rating would be 5/5 if it worked as intended.

O70%
by O####:

Was working great until 2 or 3 weeks ago. Have reinstalled and still no resolve. Card will no longer read with phone properly. Progress bar gets to 70% complete then crashes

Was working, now it doesnt recognize nfc card. I know the card works cus i use it the bus

Hi. I've been using this app over one year. Since last update I have to scan card a second time for it to read. Also, my top up feature doesn't work anymore. Please fix, great app ????

It's been 4 days since I installed the app. The first 3 days it was working perfectly fine and now all of a sudden it has stopped responding. I tried reinstalling it but nothings working.

This app is great but Its been a couple of weeks now where I have to scan my card twice for it to go through, very annoying. And now today it froze midway through! Sort it out guys

App worked perfectly with my Samsung phone but it doesn't work with one plus 5 phone. Can somebody advice if it should work or one plus (Android based phone) is not among compatible devices. Thank.

P70%
by P####:

I was able to install this app on a completely new phone and top up from my debit card without once having to authorise anything. This seems to be a huge security hole.

Z70%
by Z####:

Use to work perfectly but now won't read the card at all. Thought it was my phone but looking through the comments it appears to be a common problem. If this issue was sorted it would be a great app.

Z70%
by Z####:

Handy when it works. A couple of updates ago, the ability to top up using mobile data was removed so I can't top up unless I've got a WiFi connection. Not exactly convenient when you're standing at a bus stop.

Z70%
by Z####:

Excellent Handy to have App that let's you top up anywhere. Currently there's a problem on LG V20 which only allows you to top up over WiFi please fix it!

Load of shite won't pick up my card. Don't waste your time

Z70%
by Z####:

It literally just doesn't work. I would love to be able to get a government contact making these crappy systems that don't even have to work and pocketing the money. It's ridiculous

Z70%
by Z####:

Still find it the most convenient way of topping up my Leap Card. But yet the app could still be so much better. Surely in this day & age the function of adding your card to the app & just been able to use your phone to tap on & tap off can't be to much to ask.

W70%
by W####:

Doesn't work anymore. Used on two different phones and it won't pick up the leap card. Used to be handy now it's utterly useless . Please fix

Z70%

Was having similar issues with card not scanning on my Samsung J5. Figured out that holding card to the rear camera works. Doesn't scan on any other part of the phone....

Z70%
by Z####:

I have HTC10, could not even open the app. Just stuck on the read card page, but nothing happens when you try to scan card

J70%
by J####:

App doesn't even work anymore. Used to use it all the time with no problem but now it doesn't react to KY card so I can't use it period

Z70%
by Z####:

Horrible app... can't use it at all, tried to check balance "something went wrong,please restart the app" did that about 20 time's ... same problem on my girlfriend's phone. NFC is on , even deleted app a and install it again.

Z70%
by Z####:

Doesn't work on my Oneplus 3T and crashes on my HTC One. I can't top up my card online either so I always have to go to Eason's or Centra etc to top up. Very very inconvenient

E70%
by E####:

It's very handy but it never registers the card on the first go. It always, without fail takes 2 attempts to read the card on LG-G5.

Z70%
by Z####:

Simply doesn't work - doesn't register my leap card. Useless.
