It got slow after the latest updates. The previous versions read the card immediately at the moment the card was tapped on the phone. Now, it's necessary to open the app and 2 clicks to finally get to tap the card and check the balance. Besides, the app takes longer to fully open after these updates.

I cannot contact a real person to speak about my problem, but they never accept the call; it always fails. There is no email for customer service, just a useless bot to contact. They also force customers to receive countless ad notifications, and there is no email to take an important survey, only countless notifications. Then, they just send text messages and emails to close my wallet. If it's that important, why isn't it sent in an email too? I have no time to deal with such a case.

Checking balance of physical card is good but top up options are limited to hk banks? why no PayPal or add a option so I can top up via visa card, there should be a option to add my credit card details, or connect and pay via WeChat, in the end you're still making me go to 7/11 and use physical cash, annoying for tourists

useless for tourist, can only be used with local phone number. what is even worse ? physical octopus card can only be purchased with cash and cash only, no e wallet option ,no credit card option . super inconvenient for tourist or those just come for a short trip.

this app is very poorly designed when it comes to loading and caching data. every element on the screen requires an internet connection to load and it is very, very slow. if your connection is flaky the app won't even open. if you switch to another app to verify a phone number or something, it loads from the server all over again when you switch back. every little thing you tap or swipe needs another hit on the server and more slow loading. also the FPS feature only works with phone numbers. why

payment failed due to a connection problem, though this only happens at a low chance, say once in fifty times, but it is enough to leave a dominated poor user experience. Why a physical card can have a payment completed without customer's network but not for a digital one ?
