Great idea poor execution

My card won’t read on this repeatedly saying to place if flat and not giving me a another clear way to do it, I love the idea I would make it so you can create a account and then it automatically sends a updated balance on all your saved cards
Thanks a lot man appreciate itThanks a lot man appreciate it

Card Type Option

The app is no use as it keeps failing payment saying check card type but doesn’t give you anywhere to select the card type!

FAQ

What can I do with the Leap Top Up app?

The Leap Top Up app allows you to check your TFI Leap Card balance, top-up your card with funds, and purchase tickets directly from your NFC-enabled iPhone. You can also collect pre-paid tickets bought online and view your last five transactions.

How do I top up my Leap Card using the app?

To top up, open the app and hold your TFI Leap Card to the back of your iPhone. You can then use the dial to select a top-up value or tap to enter your desired amount. Payment details can be saved for faster future transactions.

What are the system requirements for this app?

The minimum requirement for the Leap Top Up app is an iPhone 7 running iOS 13.0 or later. Ensure your iPhone has NFC capabilities to use the card scanning features.

Is this app free to use?

Yes, the Leap Top Up app is free to download and use. There are no in-app purchases or ads mentioned in the description. You will only pay for the top-ups and tickets you purchase for your Leap Card.

What if I experience issues scanning my Leap Card?

Some users with iPhone 7 and 7 Plus may experience scanning issues due to the NFC chip. If the app fails to read your card, try adjusting the position of the card against the back of your iPhone. Experimenting with different placements can often resolve the scanning delay.
