### 2/5 — Noncompatible

*2020-01-05, version 0.2.9*

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.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2020-10-11, version 1.0.6*

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!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2019-09-23*

Very useful in Japan. Able to check card balance using iPhone NFC reader!

**Developer response:** Thank you for using my app!
