Ratings and reviews

Excellent app for Dhaka MRT users! MRT Buddy is a very useful and convenient app for managing MRT card information and keeping track of transactions. The interface is simple, clean, and easy to use. I especially appreciate the transaction history and CSV export features, which make it much easier to keep records organized. Overall, it’s a well-designed and practical app that makes managing MRT-related information much more convenient.

really really helpful.. I wish i could have donated him. one solo developer helping the whole nation. my utmost respect towards him.

After the update, Before opening the app, when I punch the card in my phone it says "No supported application for this NFC Tag" and the app does not run automatically. But when I open the app then it works totally fine. When you get free time please fix this issue. And Take my deepest gratitude for your effort in this project.
