Ratings and reviews

Will keep me in an endless loop where it asks me to verify my email, it confirms, but then say there's no email registered. Can't sign up for this. So frustrating.

It's actually a very good upgrade on the default T-Money Card, and the app is simple and pretty easy to use, can even check the T-Money balance in app! The only downside is there is a 4% debit card top up charge through the app, but the work around is to put in KRW at a wowpass machine to top up! But it's handy to be able to quickly top up via app if needed. Soon they say you will be able to transfer balance between the wowpass debit balance and the tmoney balance, this will be a game changer!

The app is a bit unstable, luckily the devs fix asap when a bug emerges. Very useful for travelling in South Korea

What’s new

We fixed a bug in the newly added card reservation feature and ate spicy stir-fried small octopus.
