(1) This is NOT a stand-alone app. It requires Google Wallet to function. The QR code generated by Hop in Google Wallet does not scan on the bus; you MUST use the NFC version. (2) When setting up a new payment method, a bug clears address/card data and kicks you back to the first data entry screen if the screen refreshes for any reason, including the screen rotating. If you are having trouble, turn off screen rotation and make sure you don't need to leave the app while setting it up.

Buying the virtual card in the app was painless, but nothing happened when I tried to tap (every which way, to the annoyance of the drivers) (hint: it has nothing to do with the QR code displayed in Google Pay). Finally I realized that NFC wasn't enabled in my android phone, which is necessary for the reader to communicate with the app. It works fine now, but it was a stressful experience trying to figure it out. It would be helpful to highlight the NFC requirement in your FAQ page.

Often this app won't load the tools. I can usually plan a trip but outside of that, it doesn't work. Sometimes can load the card with little issue. Arrival time tracker? 95% of time won't even load the screen. Can't search a stop. It only loads favorite stops, maybe 8% of time. It's JUST useful enough to keep.
