Oyster Reader

A simple yet effective Oyster balance reader. Displays user's Oyster balance quickly with the touch of an Oyster card or a single click.
Shows your Oyster balance by touching your Oyster card against your phone (if device is NFC capable). Or displays your balance with a single click, if your phone doesn't support NFC.

If you have an issue with Oyster Reader, please contact me directly instead of leaving a negative comment. I am happy to look at any issues and will respond quickly, if possible.


* Now, has the ability to retrieve the balance from accounts with multiple cards registered.

A great app when it's fully functional but haven't been able to use it in months. I have the latest version but can't seem to log in even though my login details are completely correct. Would like an update please. Could be a 5 star app if it worked!

Nice app, but it logs you out when you have a season ticket active. I would give 5 stars, if I could see the weekly/monthly tickets as well, not just the top-up balance. Keep up the good work!

I am still unable to login, annoying since I paid for it. I would like my money back if this continues.

Once again, this app has stopped working as it won't allow you to log into your account. Shame, as it's a nice tool when it works.

TfL have overhauled their back end. This app needs updating to match. Dev does not respond to email. Money wasted :(

This app is a joke I used to like it don't now it don't let u sign in sort it out

Pet. A. Aug 5, 2016     

Despite the update, I still haven't been able to log in to my Oyster account. Have checked via a normal browser and all of my details are fine. A huge shame

Fails to log me in, useless.

Ral. C. Apr 7, 2016     

Still can't log in. Deleting app again.

Would be great to give it some nice Material Design styling though. Also, are our details safe?

Won't accept my login details - can I have a refund

Ann. L. W. Apr 4, 2017     

Who do I ask for a refund? This App hasn't worked since day one What a waste?

Pau. W. Nov 13, 2014     

App worked fine for a few months then logged me out and will not accept my log in details ever since. Emailed maker but had absolutely no response. Poor, very poor

i paid 65p for an application that doesn't even work keeps saying login failure when my login details work on the tfl website, all im saying is i want a full refund it's a bogus app don't waste your money doesn't even deserve a 1 star rating.

I made the mistake to pay for this app and it only works about 2% of the time. The rest is Login Failure or Unable to Connect. I was forced to buy another app. Please fix it, or give us refund.

Taw. I. Mar 8, 2015     

At the time of sign in it says log in failed. But all my login data is right.

Phi. M. Mar 3, 2014     

Would be much better if I had an option to view another card registered to the same account without signing out first.

Sub. S. Apr 25, 2014     

I can't see my journey history.

Does what is says! Check your balance in an instant

ale. c. Feb 26, 2015     

Wouldn't let me log in

Mr. W. Feb 22, 2014     

I wish I could get my money back all you get is a blank black screen with only a balance and the NFC DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. It takes so long to update mist current balance save our money.

Ed. E. Feb 24, 2014     

I applaud the app's simplicity. But it had one significant problem: I keep my oyster card in my wallet and my wallet and phone next to each other - the means the app is always being opened by mistake.

Joh. I. Nov 16, 2013     

Most people don't know that you need NFC in your phone to do it. What is the bad reviews for. It's works great. Good job man.

Ame. F. Jan 23, 2014     

TfL have changed the log in details and now app won't let one log in. Needs urgent fix.

And. P. Jun 24, 2013     

My Oyster account was rejected by earlier version..But have been regular contact with the developer. And the problem has been fixed.

Nid. G. Jun 22, 2013

A. G. u. Nov 14, 2013     

I couldn't believe it at first. Read the reviews and bought it. Guess what it works as it said in description. Happy

Mik. Nov 19, 2013

Rob. O. Jun 24, 2013
