London Oyster Sync & Refunds

Ultimate App for London Underground. ==========================================
Do you use Contactless or Oyster Pay As You Go? Have you ever wondered if you could save by switching to Travelcard? Ever been charged maximum fare for failing to touching-in or our? If so, this app is for you.

The app uses unofficial Transport for London API to sync your card details, Oyster balance and journey history and store it on your device. This gives the app unique capability to quickly analyse and present most important information in a very intuitive way.

First tab shows basic card info
- London Oyster balance or Contactless card status, incomplete journeys and last sync time.

Next tab is something that is used every day
- journey history. With top-ups highlighted in green and missing touch-in and out displayed in red it is ease to spot unusual events. Oyster balance is also displayed for Oyster card users.

Third tab shows your most visited stations, tap on a station for a quick access to London underground and overground Live arrivals data. No more tedious searching for your stations.

Swipe to the right to see Lines status.

Then
- 5th tab
- travel stats. Charge history, journey counts and time are aggregated by day and month.

Finally
- Fares tab. If you use PAYG you can compare your spend with monthly and annual season ticket prices to see if it's worth switching to travel card or not. Where does this data come from? Extracted from 6 different PDFs.

Note:

This has not worked for me since 9th July and its frustrating. I cannot see the travel option getting updated as it says web error. Have uninstalled n reinstalled 3 times. Is it somthing you will fix. It was working good and I was enjoying the app.

Love the fact unlike other apps it just works, widget is great. Would like to see unfinished journey & delay notifications though, since sites like ClaimMyRefund seemed to have stopped now you have to do it manually. Also autosync would be better. Also it initially worked, then it was displaying the wrong balance (I double checked on TFL site and the gate display) for a most of a day...now it's OK again but hard to trust it 100% now.

It is a really good app as it lets you get the money back from delayed journeys. It's got an annoying bug though, after 2 or 3 refunds claimed when I try to reclaim another one it comes with an error that makes the app breaking and I could not claim anything else. It seems to me there are unhandled cases where the app breaks please fix this and I'll give 5 stars. I gave 3 stars simply because one of the core features does not work properly.

Awesome work. Would be nice to if the functionality was implemented from one of the other apps on the store, where you touch your card to your phone with NFC and it pops up your current balance. Also, the main card tab could do with a little bit more of a fancy layout instead of just having things listed out. Also where there is the red background, using the black text on it is not accessible not readable. But not necessary, just nitpicking. I'd love to mock up some UI ideas if you like?

One of the nicest features of this app is the widget that displays your current balance - except that it refreshes at seemingly random intervals - it actually shows your balance at some point in the past (and often doesn't agree with the balance displayed in the app) so turns out to be worse than useless. Everything else seems fine, if a little slow.

Detail refresh on balance is too slow . It toon up to 2 h to get the actual balance and travel detail from last use until it appeared on screen . With an aprox refresh every 10 to 15 minutes otherwise great app

Nice app - would give five stars but doesn't seem to pick up my Oyster journeys (all quite a long time ago now as I use contactless). I'd love a full archive. Prepared to believe it's my poor setup mind!

This app used to work well on my Galaxy S6 Edge, but now it's impossible to login because it won't recognise that I have accepted the Ts & Cs. When I tried to leave feedback in the app it would not move to the "submit" button. I shall be uninstalling this app I'm afraid.

Update Feb 2017: Refund claims have stopped working. Journey history no longer highlights refund eligible journeys. Original review: I've got £28.20 of service delay refunds in a week. Submitting a service delay refund through the app is so much easier than the Oyster website. Click on Travel to see your journey history. The app highlights any that took more than 15 minutes longer than they should have. Click on the journey, tick the box and click submit. That's it. Works if you have a travel card too. The only negative is the app doesn't tell you the value of any successful refunds, or your web credit balance. You still need the Oyster website for that :-(. Other than that, can't fault it. Everyone who regularly uses TFL should get it.

It works perfectly compared to other apps which are mostly useless. The only drawback is when you have a travel card but travelled to a zone which is not covered by the travelcard. Usually the oyster reader at exit station will detect this and charge you the difference however the app won't show that journey but it will still show correct payg balance after the journey.

Works across all TFL, buses included. Gives you a good breakdown of your journeys and where your spends are going. Clean looking and very quick to set-up whilst easy to use. Asks for barely any permissions too, which is nice.

Wont let me add my account it just keeps saying accept terms and conditions, so I click read the t&cs, they come up, i press ok but it still says accept t&cs... annoying repeating loop

J. C. Jun 13, 2016     

This worked fine before update. Now I can't even sign in. It keeps asking for valid email address. Acceptance of terms and conditions doesn't work when you click OK. Recently updated to android 6.0. Very disappointed

rut. s. May 22, 2016     

Im a tourist and not all the time know where can i update the currency,too bad u cant do it with a credit card here.

Mar. B. Jun 11, 2016     

I only come down to the smoke 3 or so times a year but when I do I get around by bus. This app is invaluable to me.

Kay. e. Feb 5, 2016     

Just gives me a blank screen doesn't let me add a card. Rubbish absolutely rubbish. No help.

Joh. B. Jan 22, 2018     

Was very good until about a year ago but now no longer works. If it worked I would give it 5 stars.

Dee. S. Feb 5, 2018     

Frozen app for months. Keeps saying that the server is unavailable to sync. Also keeps telling me that I haven't tapped out at various stations.

Gre. C. Feb 18, 2016     

This is a 1st class app with no faults, bugs or issues of any sort to report. All the necessary information you need updated daily. Ideal for anyone who uses an Oyster card.

Jos. P. Jan 24, 2017     

Works well, easy to use, auto updates your balances. Makes me wonder why Tfl haven't got an official app for this. But this app is great for checking Oyster & contactless cards simultaneously

Ale. F. Jun 15, 2016     

Good app, seems to work well, but has only synced the last two weeks of data

Kol. M. Oct 2, 2016     

This app is brilliant! The only thing is it doesn't update your balance straight away. You have to wait for a day or 2 for it to update.

Tim. B. Jul 16, 2016     

It does so much more than just giving your oyster balance with the likes of usage notifications, fare calculators, train times and loads of other stuff. I've not found anything better than this, especially not for free!

Pet. M. Mar 8, 2016     

Just downloaded it. Shows when your journey was delayed and shows where to get a refund (currently £2.80 regardless of how much that ticket cost).

Far. Q. Mar 28, 2016     

This is really helpful for me to know what the latest balance on my oyster is and how much I've been charged. Good work.

Tes. Mar 30, 2016     

I have added my oyster account fine but no info (balance, past journeys etc.) comes up. Useless.

Joa. O. Mar 16, 2016     

I've been looking for an app that would help me to control my travel expenses, since I use pay as you go.

Nic. W. Dec 27, 2015     

Did the job of letting me look at all previous journeys - both Oyster and linked debit card. Showed me when and where. And even showed me current status of tube lines.
