Octopus Balance Reader
Able to read the balance offline!
This app will only read the data from the card. It will not modify any data on your card.
Thanks for your support! :)
Sound is emitted by the system, even after you uninstall this app. Android try to show you that no app is suitable to read your card.
FAQ please refer to http://hklight.net/#OctopusBalanceReader
The old version Octopus cannot be read due to Android NFC hardware constraint. The card id of old version Octopus card contains no bracket and 8 digit only.
Notice:No cracking or illegal activity are involved during development process. All the reading feature is performed under the mechanism provided by the card system.
Google Nexus S and Samsung Galaxy Nexus are the only two devices that can be bought in Hong Kong and having NFC hardware.

better octopus reader than the octopus company app. no need to sign in, just a useful reader.
Doesnt need to log in/sign up if you want to scan your octopus card balance, its easier for tourist
simple n easy to check balance in the card.
very good app just check the balance at your home easy app
Does not show whether octopus card is deactivated, but reads remaining amount correctly.
The balance displayed is always wrong
Fantastic and easy to use
App is called "Octopus Balance Reader", yet within the app the word 'balance' is spelled is "Blanace" ~ please correct.
It does one thing and does one thing well, no registration required
Good app but you can't spell blanace???
This app is somehow better than Octopus's own official app
my octopus card just had -0.7$ but this app check that I had 14.86
Fantastic. No hassle showing balance. Hong Kong lets you actually get a negative balance. Lineup of refund was not so bad as the Tokyo Suica card. Very nice card as busses demand exact change and vending machines demands cash for metro tickets.
Very useful app, this works very well, even let you change convenience little for me card. Great job! Just need to hold the card a centimeter away from back your phone. Thumb up from me.
Works as indicated. Great for tourist!
This is the only app to check the balance without network
Brilliant. So handy. What an excellent app.
Worst app.... waste of time..does not read the card most of the time.
Need to update the app since new cards support -50 on the card
Can check without network
No need to search fr octopus machine balance reader when you have this app! It is very handy!!!
Simple app just to read your card balance. Nothing more
perfect app this is very very useful I recommend you guys to use it
Not easy to read!
Royal waste of time
Way better than the official Octopus app. But card records arent showing up. Overall thanks so much, it's great.
Doesn't work on my LG G2. No response for holding my card for few mins at the vack of my phone.
Love it. Haven't used Octopus card since last in Hong Kong in 2013. Downloaded app and see history and can top up straight away!
It shows my octupus card balance value inaccurately. It always shows $7 less than the true balance.
