Minor bug fixes and security enhancements

Opal Cards

This app is really good so I would highly recommend it!!!! I also have many reasons for this which I will explain. 🥰

It has loads of amazing and super helpful features such as it alerts your phone when you’re one or two stops away or when you’re at your stop. This means you don’t accidentally miss your stop. Very helpful, because whenever I don’t use this app, I find myself missing my stop all the time!!!! 😭

It gives you accurate travel times, different transport modes and can access train maps. This is super helpful and it helps me a LOT.

One thing though that I do wish it had, is that I am a student attending high school, and the train to school is around an hour, so I tap in and off several times a day and sometimes I forget where I left my opal card or it takes me a while to take it out. I use a school Opal card which unfortunately is not able to be added to my Opal Travel account. I would find it much easier if they would be able to add school Opal cards to the app.

Opal Travel is an amazing app that I really love, just wish it would allow school Opal cards to be added!!!🙂

Card doesn’t remain upload

Manually key in the card number and the next day it disappears. This has not been fixed for one year. Can only check balance when tapping off.

Blocking users who don’t have the latest version

Why am I blocked from using the app because I don’t have the latest version, which only came out 21h ago? 10.6.0. It says it has “security enhancements” and minor bug fixes. These don’t sound severe enough to block me from using the app 🤔

buses

everything is good except the bus times are always late, it might say the bus comes in 2 minutes but it’s always late.

Can’t add senior card to phone wallet

8 years in and seniors still can’t add senior card to wallet.. I guess we’re just too old and dumb to use that kinda tech… is that ageist?
