About Snapper Mobile

NEW Snapper App, all instant, real time, redesigned interface and free!

Using your Android smartphone with near field communication (NFC), the Snapper Mobile app is the essential companion to your Snapper + card or Semble SIM.

Simply hold your Snapper card to the back of the phone and after a one time log in, instantly check your balance, recent transaction history, top up with no transaction fee, and buy a travel pass, anytime, anywhere.

Here are the new app feature highlights:

LOG IN - For a seamless and secure experience, you are now required to log in to your registered Snapper account when you first launch the app. Your Snapper account details are the same as for the snapper.co.nz website, or if you haven’t registered your card before, you can create an account and register it from within the app. Note, you won’t have to log in again unless you choose to log out from within the app.

CHECK YOUR BALANCE- See the real time balance of your card at a glance.

TOP UP- Instantly top up with no transaction fee. Use the dial to select a top up value, or tap to enter your desired amount. The app will remember your last top up amount to make the next time even faster.

BUY A TRAVEL PASS- Relative to your cards concession, travel passes will be available for purchase and instantly loaded to your Snapper.

TRANSACTION HISTORY- Instant, detailed, clear and displayed in real time, you can now view the latest 20 transactions on the card. Icons indicate transport transactions, retail purchases or top ups alongside a running balance and individual transaction values. Transport transactions can be tapped to display:

• The unique stop ID
• Separate Tag on and Tag off fares
• Date and times

SAVE PAYMENT DETAILS- Highly secure and accessed by a 4-digit PIN you can now save your payment details for the fastest Snapper top up experience yet!

REGISTER- Instantly secure and protect your Snapper card should it ever be lost or stolen from within the app

VIEW CARD INFORMATION- View all the detail on your Snapper card at a glance. Check your 16 digit unique Snapper card number, concession or if you have a pending IOU.

IN APP FEEDBACK AND SUPPORT- Did something go wrong? No need to find a phone number, help is now easily accessible from within the app. Select “Feedback” from the dropdown menu and for the first time enter your email address, then your message. Snapper support will respond directly.

PERMISSIONS required

*Read phone status and identity (READ_PHONE_STATE)*
Having permission to Read a phones status and identity allows the app to read a unique ID (IMEI) that’s associated with the user’s phone. This allows Snapper to block certain phones from using the Snapper App.

*Read the contents of your USB storage (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)*
This one looks bad but we can assure you we are not downloading your content and private selfies! We are simply checking your external storage (memory), so that if required you and our in app feedback team can attach photos when using the Apptenitve in app feedback function.

*Full network access (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE)*
The Snapper app communicates with Snapper servers through the internet and data from these servers are needed to read the Snapper card (and perform actions on the card).

*Org.simalliance.openmobileapi.SMARTCARD (SMARTCARD)*
Allows the Snapper app to communicate with secure elements, such as the Snapper SIM.

*View network connections (INTERNET)*
To connect to the Internet, a user will need to be able to view their network connections (then, they will be able to select a network that will allow them to connect to the internet).

Now everything works, online topup, balance check and real time fare. Old comment may still be true for S5.... Short cut opens a white pane with a red banner at top. In white is the title snapper and a left arrow. The whole pane fails to respond to touch. The only way to exit.is with the Samsung back button.

B70%
by B####:

All I wanted to do was check the balance of my snapper card but I have to sign up for an account. Seriously!? Stop wasting my time. Uninstalled! In this age of having to create an account for everything, it would be breath of fresh air to be able to access the basic functionality of something without having to jump through this hoop. I don't have to sign up for an account to ride the bus or get my cards balance in a shop. Why is my phone special?

M70%
by M####:

I have a wallet case and this app scans the card every time I open my case.... that's extremely annoying. Please add a settings option to disable auto scan when app is closed. Uninstalling now, but will happily reinstall when this setting is enabled.

Q70%
by Q####:

Hopeless, really unuser-friendly app. Doesn't let you create an account, doesn't say why not, doesn't give you instructions. Having to contact their feedback page just to create an account is pretty hopeless.

N70%
by N####:

I don't know what has been updated recently, but this app used to work perfect for me. But now, I can't even have it installed on my phone without it halting the OS and the app having a melt down. Terrible stuff.

N70%
by N####:

Every time I try to download and use this app it comes up with a plain screen with a mobile on it, I hold my snapper to it and it does nothing then 20 minutes later will start messing with my phone creating all sorts of noises. The help section is no use as I have none of the screens they write about available to me. Then finally it registers my card takes my.money and doesn't put it on the snapper!

I70%
by I####:

Very temperamental. Could only log in once this morning using the NFC reader and then it didn't process my top up. Tried for 10 more mins to log in again to process top up, wouldn't read my card. Then the bus came.

Y70%
by Y####:

Doesn't seem to have much instruction or information on how to use the app, what it offers or features. To open the app I MUST have NFC turned on. Usability, look and feel is very basic and I look forward to seeing some improvements as this app has a lot of potential.

R70%
by R####:

First time using the app, there were no instructions on how to start. The process of registering my card was unclear and failed. Most of the services returned errors. Bad usability overall.

D70%
by D####:

Works with Sony xperia X and is hassle free. Seems that most negative reviews aren't realistic like complaining about nfc must be on, as if it works magically.

N70%
by N####:

This initially troubled me on my one plus 5 to read the snapper. Somehow, Im able to use the app to recharge and check my snap bal

N70%
by N####:

Called the support centre as soon as something went wrong with the app and eventually with their help I figured out the problem was at my end and the top up and so on is back to working properly again. Thanks team.

N70%
by N####:

makes it so easy topping up from your phone on the go. Sometimes the system takes awhile to read the card so comes up error for several attempts

M70%
by M####:

Absolute rubbish app. Downloaded and reinstalled the app several times over a couple weeks, but every time it just loads to a plain white screen with a red bar reading "snapper" at the top and a back arrow, which doesn't respond. The entire app doesn't respond and I have to force close the phone to get the rest of my apps back to normal. Rubbish service to go with the app, as I emailed for help, some time ago, including screen shots and never received a response back.

N70%
by N####:

So frustrating, app launches everytime the phone comes close to a paywave card; I.e all the time when I use my phone with a wallet style case

N70%
by N####:

Useful app, lets you check and top up your snapper bus card. A bit finicky occasionally, but generally serves its purpose.

N70%
by N####:

Working brilliantly on my Samsung S5 (Clearer instructions about keeping your card against the phone at all times would have saved some trial and error). Makes the whole loading the card process so much easier.

N70%
by N####:

Annoyed my husband can't use it with his iPhone. Works a treat on my HTC.

Z70%
by Z####:

Snapper app really good. Having to be a 2degrees customer with a special sim is REALLY BAD. Snapper work with Spark or Vodafone to provide a much better service where i can get coverage.

N70%
by N####:

The functionality of the app isn't clear when you first open it... I would love to use this AS my snapper card as I have a capable smartphone... See people using smartphones as snapper cards and want to know how to do that. Glad I can use this to top up in the meantime though

N70%
by N####:

Great App that works only on Wellington Go Busses. Good visual design and pretty easy to use. Connecting your credit card is easy. Just be aware the card readers in busses doesn't always read the NFC. I always have a backup Snapper available. But otherwise all good!

by N####:

This app is great! You can top up and check any snapper cards balance/history and all so quick and simple too, just turn on nfc and hold it against the back of the phone. Fantastic job!!!

Does what it should. Allows you to check your balance and top up with ease. Zero complaints

N70%
by N####:

The app does well on Older phones like the s4 but it seems to be sometimes faulty on samsung's newer products such as the S8

N70%
by N####:

Just bought a new Samsung S5. This app doesn't work at all. When I fire it up all I get is a blank screen.

G70%
by G####:

App does not read data on my HTC 10. It keeps making noise but does not read or display any data.

N70%
by N####:

This App is great but I would like to see the ability to track the balances of multiple cards not even in real time but just the last time they were checked

U70%
by U####:

I'm getting a oops something when wrong when trying to top up my card. Useless. Please fix it.

N70%
by N####:

I want to know how to use my phone to snapper on the bus instead of using a snapper card I have seen people do this. Could someone ring me to guide me through the steps please

N70%

Simply awesome mobile app that works in harmony with your snapper card. No glitches or other nuisance. I love it.

N70%
by N####:

I have NFC active on my phone and everything but the app simply won't detect my card.

T70%
by T####:

This app worked beautifully on my previous Nexus 5; however, on my new Huawei Mate 9, it doesn't read my card at all. Any suggestions?

N70%
by N####:

Love this app, so much more convenient then having to go to a store to top up each time. Nice work snapper team! :)

S70%
by S####:

Does what it says on the label: get the balance of your Snapper, top it up, and if you're really keen tells you how much part journeries were.

N70%
by N####:

All I wanted to be able to do was top up and it repeatedly says something has gone wrong.

N70%
by N####:

I cant top up the card with NFC. What's wrong?

N70%

Doesn't work with 'gray' import and phones purchased overseas.

N70%
by N####:

Love this app so much it's super helpful for when I'm at the bus stop or topping up my card! Love it, great app

Z70%
by Z####:

If you have a fob snapper (which cost $25) it's incompatible. Can't do a top -up; snapper folks totally indifferent; the only solution offered is to get a card. The reason I bought the fob was because that was my preferred form factor: now it's obsolete.

D70%
by D####:

Same as Ben Hunter. Android 7.0 on Nexus 5X. Two different phones. Crashes when I hit the top up button after selecting amount. Have submitted multiple crash reports.
