| Note | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🆕 | New in Metrodroid. |
| 🔐 | Encryption keys required to read this card. |
| 🔓 | Encryption keys are downloaded from the operator. |
| 🇮🇪 | Leap not yet supported on iOS. |
| 🇯🇵 | FeliCa cards with more than 1 system not supported on iOS. |
| 🇸🇬 | CEPAS cards (Singapore) are not compatible with all devices (ISO 14443-B). Not supported on iOS. |
MFC |
MIFARE Classic card; requires NXP NFC chipset in your device. Not supported on iOS. |
| 🆔 | Only the card number can be read. |
KMT |
Only new FeliCa-based cards can be read. |
| 1️⃣ | Only single-use tickets can be read. |
IOS |
Supported on Metrodroid for iOS. |
This project will only read data from the card itself, without having to connect to the agency's back-office systems. In some cases, limited data is available, so balance information and trip history might not be available.
Note: The Leap card reader connects to Transport for Ireland's server for challenge-response authentication with the card. The data is otherwise interpreted locally, and connectivity is disabled by default.
Metrodroid for Android requires Android 4.1 or later, with NFC support.
Some devices do not support MIFARE Classic. MIFARE Classic is not an NFC-compliant card format, so they can only be read on devices with NXP chipsets.
Metrodroid for iOS requires iOS 13.0 or later, and iPhone 7 or later. It does not support other iOS devices, even those that support Apple Pay.
