About this app

The Leap Top-Up app allows you to instantly check your balance, top-up your Leap Card and purchase tickets - directly from your NFC-enabled device.

Click the app and simply hold your Leap Card to the back of your NFC-enabled Android smartphone to instantly check your balance, purchase or collect a pre-paid ticket, or top-up your Leap Card – anytime, anywhere.

Key Features:
* Check your balance – see the current balance of any Leap Card
* Top-up instantly by using the dial to select a top-up value or tap to enter your desired amount
* Purchase pre-paid tickets (e.g. Dublin Bus Rambler and Bus Éireann Zonal tickets) and instantly load onto your Leap Card
* Collect pre-paid tickets e.g. Bus Éireann TaxSaver tickets or tickets bought online from LeapCard.ie
* View your last 5 transactions and last top-up value.
* View your proximity to daily/weekly capping values
* Receive receipts via email for top-ups or purchases made via the app
* Save your payment details

Note: The Leap Top-up app is only available on NFC-enabled Android devices running Android 6.0 or later.

* Please Note: Users of some NFC-enabled Android devices may experience issues using the app due to the type of NFC technology within their device. The Leap Top-up App requires devices to be capable of “NFC Read/Write” functions. Some entry-level NFC devices are only capable of “NFC Card Emulation”, which is not sufficient for using the Leap Top-up App.

Ratings and reviews

So far so good! I had avoided downloading this for a long time thinking I had to create an account etc. and the reviews on reliability etc. werent great. However I just installed it to check my balance. It installed quickly and worked flawlessly on my low end phone. Encouraged, I tried topping up. That worked first time too. Very Easy, Very Quick! and no messing with account setup/registration etc. Happy Camper!

It hasn't worked in weeks. It's not the leap card thats the problem, and my phone is fine. And the Leap website is also a joke. Most pages from the menu don't load, so to top up I have to go to a machine or into a shop.

Phone can't read card. Works then it doesn't work. Outdated cumbersome system. Horrible user experience.
