TfL Oyster and contactless - Latest Quality Issues
iOS
May 14, 2024
Awful Experience
Beyond the fact that I get randomly logged out all the time, this app hasn't updated my journeys (which I take daily) for over a month now. So the account balance displayed in the app is completely useless. Add to that the fact that when you do top up via the app it takes 30 minutes to process which is absurd, given that the ticket machines in the stations are instant. This could be such a useful app but it just fails at every level.

So many glitches.

Extremely poor
The app crashes/ lots of bugs when trying to pay and authenticate payments, takes about 4 attempts when it works… I can't believe this is in production - TFL this is extremely poor.

Downloaded the app just to check balance on my Oyster card. I was asked to provide tons of personal data including my zip code I have no idea about. Failed.

Still same Problem with payment
I tried to top up my card three times - Nothing! Still the same problem, no progress

Rubbish
It's a struggle to use, from duplicating uploaded cards to failing to recall history of previous journeys. Use if you must.

I just installed the app, neither my oyster balance or my journey history is correct. Its not showing anything past 1st April! I'm wondering what exactly the point is of it is. How hard is it to sync the data properly? I think I'll stick to the website.

States I have a decent balance on the card but when you use it nothing, cannot top up via the app either.
iOS

Entirely unusable now
This app has always been difficult to use, eg has never auto filled password, so I have to copy and paste from settings (now it takes 4 or 5 attempts to paste until it takes the password), slow to load cards etc, but necessary evil as someone who travels for work. But now it is rendered totally useless. On top of the password longness I describe above, I now have to type an sms code every time I log in, and then tell it to log in again. Once I've completed the quest of logging in, I now cannot make payment as the page isn't formatted for an iPhone mini, so I cannot move past the page to authorise the online payment authorisation. Developers, please use this app a few times yourselves in real time, out and about. Surely the point of this app is to be able to top up your oyster before travelling? It saves queuing and using a physical card and typing in a pin at the stations.
