Rhyno vs Shuttle

Rhyno is a simple app for checking whether or not your Myki card will allow you to travel on public transport in Melbourne. It's easy to understand and delightful to use. Checking your balance has never been this straightforward or fun! Rhyno is laser-focused on the offline traveller’s experience. When your balance is low, use Rhyno’s map of every top-up location in Victoria to find places to top up in person. Rhyno can even suggest the closest one. If your card is about to expire, Rhyno will let you know. Add your Myki card using NFC, and Rhyno will show its status, be it Myki money or Myki pass. If you add multiple cards, you can assign each one a coloured label to help understand which one is which. Order your cards however you choose, and remove them when they’re no longer needed. Widgets enable you to glance at your cards’ balances at any moment. If you really want to up the game, you can build your own shortcut in the Shortcuts app using Rhyno's actions. Rhyno will show a reminder to top up in Notification Centre when your main card’s balance or pass is running out and also when your main card is about to expire. Robust VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support makes Rhyno a fully accessible member of the odd-toed ungulate order of mammals. Rhyno proudly boasts: • no ads, • no creepy tracking or analytics, • no back-end server as a middle-man (all processing and logic is run on-device), • no imported code. Rhyno is lovingly coded by hand in Melbourne.
