About this app

NEW Snapper App, all instant, real time, redesigned interface and free!

Using your Android smartphone with near field communication (NFC), the Snapper Mobile app is the essential companion to your Snapper + card or Semble SIM.

Simply hold your Snapper card to the back of the phone and after a one time log in, instantly check your balance, recent transaction history, top up with no transaction fee, and buy a travel pass, anytime, anywhere.

Here are the new app feature highlights:

LOG IN - For a seamless and secure experience, you are now required to log in to your registered Snapper account when you first launch the app. Your Snapper account details are the same as for the snapper.co.nz website, or if you haven’t registered your card before, you can create an account and register it from within the app. Note, you won’t have to log in again unless you choose to log out from within the app.

CHECK YOUR BALANCE- See the real time balance of your card at a glance.

TOP UP- Instantly top up with no transaction fee. Use the dial to select a top up value, or tap to enter your desired amount. The app will remember your last top up amount to make the next time even faster.

BUY A TRAVEL PASS- Relative to your cards concession, travel passes will be available for purchase and instantly loaded to your Snapper.

TRANSACTION HISTORY- Instant, detailed, clear and displayed in real time, you can now view the latest 20 transactions on the card. Icons indicate transport transactions, retail purchases or top ups alongside a running balance and individual transaction values. Transport transactions can be tapped to display:

• The unique stop ID
• Separate Tag on and Tag off fares
• Date and times

SAVE PAYMENT DETAILS- Highly secure and accessed by a 4-digit PIN you can now save your payment details for the fastest Snapper top up experience yet!

REGISTER- Instantly secure and protect your Snapper card should it ever be lost or stolen from within the app

VIEW CARD INFORMATION- View all the detail on your Snapper card at a glance. Check your 16 digit unique Snapper card number, concession or if you have a pending IOU.

IN APP FEEDBACK AND SUPPORT- Did something go wrong? No need to find a phone number, help is now easily accessible from within the app. Select “Feedback” from the dropdown menu and for the first time enter your email address, then your message. Snapper support will respond directly.

PERMISSIONS required

*Read phone status and identity (READ_PHONE_STATE)*
Having permission to Read a phones status and identity allows the app to read a unique ID (IMEI) that’s associated with the user’s phone. This allows Snapper to block certain phones from using the Snapper App.

*Read the contents of your USB storage (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)*
This one looks bad but we can assure you we are not downloading your content and private selfies! We are simply checking your external storage (memory), so that if required you and our in app feedback team can attach photos when using the Apptenitve in app feedback function.

*Full network access (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE)*
The Snapper app communicates with Snapper servers through the internet and data from these servers are needed to read the Snapper card (and perform actions on the card).

*Org.simalliance.openmobileapi.SMARTCARD (SMARTCARD)*
Allows the Snapper app to communicate with secure elements, such as the Snapper SIM.

*View network connections (INTERNET)*
To connect to the Internet, a user will need to be able to view their network connections (then, they will be able to select a network that will allow them to connect to the internet).

You can't update your credit card information with this update. It tells you to enter your card info and when you do, tells you to open up your bank app to confirm that it's you accessing the card. When you do so and go back to the app, its reset/refreshed itself and the option to verify is gone. When you try to add your card again it does the same thing over and over. I'm now stuck in town and can't get home because the app cant keep itself suspended for 5 seconds without refreshing.

One star because developers have still not fixed snapper app automatically opening whenever snapper card is near phone, despite complaints about this for years! Extremely annoying. Change it so app only reacts to card if snapper app has ALREADY been opened by user!!! Currently in Melbourne and snapper app even opens when I have melbourne transport card Myki near phone!@@. The opposite does not happen - myki card will only react to myki app, and only when myki app is already open.

I can't actually add my debit card to google pay via my banking app because snapper has injected itself as the default NFC app, and you can't turn it off. Will have to uninstall and reinstall the app just to use NFC for something else. Dreadful. Dreadful and hopeless.
