### 1/5 — App does not work

*2026-04-07*

This app doesn’t work.  It keeps telling me my passcode is not correct and I continue to reset it.  Done.

### 3/5 — taxi

*2026-03-06*

works well with public transportation (i did buy the actual card and i can load money on the app). i just cant use their taxi service as it wont even let me put in my contact info so i cant move onto the next page for the process.

### 1/5 — Worthless garbage.

*2026-03-02, version 1.1.188*

Frequent network issues, outrageous taxi prices, noone knows how to charge this with cash in cu or gs25, cannot pay with this card where credit cards are accepted.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2025-12-09, version 1.1.185*

The worst app I ever used in my whole life. Tried more than 50 times in registering my passport from 5 different lighting settings, kept telling me “failed detecting NFC”. Maybe the app is just useless and unusable. What a waste of time. Deleted and not interested to see on my phone anymore

### 5/5 — 真的太方便

*2025-09-23, version 1.1.172*

去韓國旅遊玩時，每次拿著護照有點不安，怕弄掉或忘記帶出門。
但使用trip pass直接用手機代替護照，旅遊變得更輕鬆且又很簡單方便👏
而且也可以使用app結帳購物，不用每次找現金怕出錯，真是大推！！！👍👍

### 5/5 — 対応が優しかった！デザインが可愛い

*2025-09-22, version 1.1.172*

国立中央博物館が大好きなのでコラボに惹かれました！螺細デザインが可愛いです🦋最初うまく登録できなくて問い合わせたら日本語で対応してくれました！わからないことあったら、さっさと問い合わせるのが時短になるしおすすめですL(･∀･)あとKTsimのセットが安いし空港で受け取れるので激推しです！！
