Don’t be fooled!

It’s NOT an app for riding the light rail!! Before you add any money to it, know that it’s not a transit app like most of the modern world would expect it to do. All it does is display the ORCA card’s balance. You still need to use the physical card to tap to pay. Can’t use the phone app to tap to pay. If you want to use the iPhone to tap to pay, just tap to pay with your credit card that’s already in the Apple Wallet.

Problems!

As regular cash purse and occasional day pass user i mostly use app to check/load orca balance and buy a day pass since open loop(with credit card tap to pay when boarding) doesn’t work with fare capping. Unfortunately, i need to use vpn and it has started to reject vpn logins kicking me back to web app to complete functions. It’s a pity they dont just have strong 2fa options to obviate need to reject users from certain geo ranges.

Buggy and feature-poor

I expect better from a transit agency. Many functions are broken. Almost worse than no app at all.

Useless

An utterly useless app. You can't even see the balance on your card—which is the most essential feature of such an app. I want to cancel or block a card I dropped on the bus, but there’s no option to do so. There’s also no option to scan the app on my phone instead of carrying a physical card. Basically, this app exists solely to top up funds—and even that feels like a struggle. There isn't even a payment option. Honestly, it is astonishing to see such a basic app in 2026.
