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

* 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

The app takes ages to recognize my card when I hold it to the phone. When it fails, which is almost always, it just says 'something went wrong', which gives the user no indication of how to fix it. Very unreliable, very poor user experience and ultimately very hard to use the app to top up your Leap card, which I believe defeats the purpose.

I've €63.50 on my card and need €70 to buy my multipass ticket(from a private bus operator as there is no public service). No matter what i do on the "add credit" screen, the value stays at 0.00 - turning the dial does not change the figure, clicking on the figure in the middle of the screen brings up a keypad but nothing i enter updates the figure. Very poor.

Barely works, and almost never on mobile data. If you are connected to a very good WiFi network maybe you are lucky and it works as expected. The app reads the card without problem, but then start to transfer data (how much data an app like this need to use!!!?) and most of the times, after long waiting, it says that something went wrong ...
