Ratings and reviews

Like many other reviewers I sort of can't believe how well this works and how fast it works. It is so much more functional and easy to use than the old system that I could cry. I couldn't even access my account on the old site for like a year because I went to report my orca card as lost, but my password had expired, and to regain access to my account I needed my card number which... you got it... was lost! This app fixes literally all of those problems with one great UI. I am healed. Lol

The app is fast and easy to use. Does everything I expected it to based on the launch website. Note for the developers: the description of physical card in the app states: "Physical cards are plastic. Virtual cards are stored in your phone's wallet app. Want to convert your physical card to virtual? Tap the Actions tab." However, I don't think that action is available yet. The description text should probably say that the virtual wallet cards are "coming soon" or something like that

Did not add a monthly pass after card info was given twice. No notice of failure or anything. So when trying as a guest didn't work, I attempted to create an account to link the card to. Could not select recovery questions at all and could not continue without. Might work better if I create an account on my computer first. But for now, just walking to a machine and loading it in person would have saved me time and money.

What’s new

We've updated the app with usability and accessibility improvements, and other bug fixes.
