Not Ready for Primetime

It’s a poorly designed app. It previously worked fine. I added funds to my card but couldn’t add to my existing virtual card. I created a new virtual card and can’t add my new funds to that one either. There’s no way to contact anyone for assistance.

Junk

UPDATE: contacted developer as requested, no response. APP still doesn’t work.Even after 9 months of it being active they have made zero improvements, biggest pile of trash I can imagine. God forbid if you get a new phone because you can’t transfer your card over. HART please fire this company and move to something proven.

Awful

This app worked for 2 months then it started auto reversing my debit card loads ; I checked with the bank & that is what I was told. Flamingo assured me the bank was blocking charge but after talking w/ my bank I was told it was them auto reversing the charge.Totally absurd & then when I tried to reset the app it tells me my flamingo card can’t access transit account. So my discount card is unable to be listed to my account. It tells me my device (iPhone doesn’t have a card associated with app). If I create a card then it won’t feature my discount. And still waiting for a follow up return call.

Rarely works at all- does NOT work with Wallet

Bytemark doesn’t update this app regularly and has not updated since iOS 15 was released. The hardware onboard buses is inconsistent and was recently down- they updated the on board software but not the smartphone app. QR scanner on screen barely works and half the time the rider can’t pay using Flamingo Fares at all. The App Store claims it works with Apple Wallet but there is no option to add it in the Apple Wallet app and it is not listed amongst the Apple Wallet transit options.

Issues with my virtual card.

This app is great for the most part! It’s made transportation to and from work a lot easier for me. The main issue I have with is the virtual card feature. I changed my phone recently and that’s when all my problems with this app started. First it asked me to create a new virtual card since I didn’t have one associated with my new device.(which I think is weird because my card should be associated with my account itself to avoid this very issue but anyway) I went ahead and created a new one. Just for my old virtual card to pop back up. But for some reason I’m unable to use it because it does not pop up in the “use” section. I called customer service three times. They had asked me to leave a message which I did. Days later I opened my app to see my original virtual card, with all my money, blocked and all the money had moved onto the new card. This would have been great except; the app was freezing so I logged out and logged back in and and it asked to create yet another virtual card! Yikes! Which I did but now I’m still not able to access the card with my money on it. As a broke college student, this makes things unnecessarily hard for me.I guess all I’m trying to say is, I’m hoping the developers will come up with a “delete virtual card feature” so I can delete the other cards and get my original card back. Or at least that I’d be able to use the card with my money on it.Aside that, it’s a pretty great app.Thanks!

Card

Don’t know why it’s not working I have it on the phone every time I get on the bus they think I don’t want to pay my fare I put money on the card not to long ago it’s embarrassing because the driver says it out loud that I don’t want to pay after showing there’s money on the card

Virtual card problems

Last used the app march 2023. It’s now October 2023 and apparently there is an update five months ago. I had to re login (for some reason aka phone reset etc) and now it forces a new virtual card created. I can see the old virtual card with $7.80 under “manage” along with the new virtual card with $0.00 under “manage” but can only “use” the new virtual card. There is no way to switch which virtual card to use. In the past, I had to have two separate devices and two separate accounts aka emails and phone numbers with separate virtual cards and separate balances if two riders in a family were making a trip. I’m going to give up on this app and see if I can get balances transferred to physical cards. Also I had to regularly delete my credit card information from the app to prevent being charged for unwanted reloads that were caused by pocket taps during use resulting in excessive bank fees. Just doesn’t work right. No meaningful beta testing and Psta et al forcing flamingo fares to be used exclusively for ridership. Just a forced disaster from people who hate public transport and especially those that use it.

Perfect

This app. Helps a lot when it comes to organizing bus passes & making sure I had the $ needed for my rides. Also makes it quick getting on the bus.

Get It Together .___.

The qr hasn’t scanned in over a month on the bus. Don’t get me wrong, I’m lucky the bus drivers are nice enough to let us ride free when the “tap again” error keeps showing up but still, cmon now!
