### 3/5 — Add Apple Pay

*2026-04-30, version 3.2*

Add Apple Pay as a payment method.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-02-20*

The EZ TAG app is fast, easy to use, and makes managing toll payments simple. Checking balance and adding funds takes seconds. Super convenient and reliable.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your positive review!

### 1/5 — Lies about pricing

*2025-11-27*

I’ve been checking my activity for about a week now and all my trips have been $1.50. I’ve been getting charged 1.50 ONCE everytime i used the tolls. Now i pay it and all my “hidden” tolls are up to see. Three or four tolls paid for everyday instead of one. Why not show me this information when i was low on funds playing my trips.

**Developer response:** HCTRA toll transactions typically post within a few business days. Toll transactions from other agencies may take up to 60 days to post to your EZ TAG account. You can view HCTRA toll rates at https://www.hctra.org/TollRates.

All the money these people make and can’t even spring for a decent app

**Developer response:** Thank you for your positive review!

### 1/5 — Unbelievably unnecessary security

*2025-08-15, version 2.8*

I was simply trying to make a payment through this app and instead of just sending a code or something simple it tries to make me select pictures of traffic lights out of a bunch of squares and some of the squares have a tiny part of the traffic light in it so you don’t know whether to choose only the squares with the whole traffic light or every one that has any part of a traffic light in it. Anyway, it didn’t work and it was so frustrating. I had to go online to pay. Won’t be using this app again.
