Works great!

Works really well and does exactly what it says - just hold a Japanese transit card on the phone and it reads the balance and other details like recent trips! Very handy!

Noncompatible

The apple store page says it’s “compatible with my iphone (8, running ios12), but after i installed it *and* agreed to the terms and conditions, it said to update to ios13 - which I do not intend to do, since that would kill all my 32-bit (abandoned by their developers) apps. Fail.
