Only good for 180 days!
I loved this app until one day it said that my Suica card had been removed from my Apple wallet. I still had 1700 yen stored value and didn’t realize that it expires after 180 days! READ THE FINE PRINT! Not sure why JR rail even has this app since you can add a digital Suica card to your Apple wallet and top it up so easily and there is no need for the “Welcome Suica” app. I just wish I had known that sooner. Unfortunately this seems like a money grab for unsuspecting tourists:(

Did it’s job
This worked seamlessly to travel into and around the Tokyo area while I was there. It also worked with vending machines that accepted IC cards! If the vending machine brings up another card just go to your apple wallet and switch it. I’ve seen some reviews saying IPhones can directly create a Suica card but I wasn’t sure how to do that. The physical welcome Suica card only lasts for about a month but this one lasts for 180 days but any remaining balance is forfeit after that. I didn’t try and transfer anything so I’m not sure how that would work. I would use it again and wouldn’t have to worry about topping up with cash.

Fehler beim Erstellen der Karte
Geld wurde abgebucht, aber keine Karte im Wallet hinzugefügt. Musste den Support bitten meine 3000 ¥ wieder zurückzuzahlen. Fügt die Suica Card bitte direkt bei Apple Wallet hinzu, ohne diese App dazwischen zu verwenden.
Very good IC card!
The low reviews may be caused by those who don’t know how to use it
Great
Worked perfectly. Easy to setup, easy top up, easy to use, quick to update the balance. Can be used on transport and in shops.
