No point to pay deposit

Unreasonable charge!

Easy to use

I can make payment online

Unusable

I repeatedly try and top it up using my bank app and Octopus simply refunds the money. I go through the whole shaboodle of verifying my HKID to upgrade so I can top up via FPS instead and it gives me an error message. Octopus is a big fat waste of time.

Customer support totally useless and unavailable

Once a transaction to top up your account somehow fails, it tooks hours to reach a customer’s support representative and all they can tell you is to wait for 7-14 business days for the funds to return back to your bank account.

太烂了

升级银包一直提示无法识别身份证,重拍了无数次。用智方便又提示第一次登录主页未完成设置无法认证。根本无法升级银包。这公司软件有人管吗?太烂了,迟早倒闭

八达通全国通卡

有交通联合的八达通什么时候能添加到苹果钱包里

没香港的手机号别想登陆

大陆用户别想登陆(有香港卡除外)

Response from developer

你好,如欲以非香港電話號碼登記使用八達通,請於App Store搜尋及下載「旅客八達通 App」。謝謝。

Why demand a phone system

How can you demand a phone system update just to update an app???so it means if I don’t want to update the system and don’t have money to change another new phone then I just can’t octopus ?! How many money you receive from Apple ?

日韓用的廢 Apps

係韓國首爾塔 人家接受 PayPay (日本) 但偏偏 Octopus 強制要求定位後 顯示只能在日本才能開啟 PayPay 付款 廢到無倫

Octopus in Japan

1. 在日本用左一週 自己統計過 大統有32%係唔收 PayPay 既 情況等如八達通在香港 收高昂手續費 人家商戶咪唔用你 PayPay / Octopus

2. 用到 PayPay 既大小商家 佢既 Octopus 錢包兌換率 小心對過 好過係香港既「小女孩」 更加唔駛講 兌換率 更加好過所有香港既傳統銀行

3. 已經使用 KDDI 但係 Octopus 係有經常性開唔到 Apps 既情況 已經係在大城市嘟攪成咁 千祈唔好推落網絡商身上

4. 下下要用密碼先開到 Octopus 篡幾煩 架床疊屋

完

好用

WHAT!?

As of May 2026, the Octopus app remains one of the most behind-the-times payment systems I use. Even though iPhones now support 10+ Apple Watches, Octopus forces you to choose only one. Activating it on my second watch immediately disables it on the first. This "one-watch-only" policy is archaic and makes managing multiple devices a total nightmare. Extremely disappointed with the lack of progress.

Can you fix the password issue?

I’m unable to click the Confirm button after pasting my password — it stays greyed out at all times. In addition, long passwords don’t seem to work, as I’m unable to finish typing mine. Please verify and inform the customer that there is a password length limit when creating an account. Currently, the system is inconsistent: it allows a long password during account creation but then rejects or truncates it on the login screen.
