IC Reader 0.1.2

What's new

• Pebble watch switches itself on: if the Pebble app is on your phone, IC Reader turns on Pebble watch integration by itself, so you no longer have to find the switch in Settings. It does this only if you've never changed the switch yourself. If you turn it off, it stays off. Installing the Pebble app later works too: the integration turns on the next time you open IC Reader.

Install

Download ic-reader-0.1.2.apk below and open it on your phone (Android 8 or later, with NFC). It installs over 0.1.1 and keeps your cards. The watch app is unchanged (1.0.0), so there's nothing to reinstall on the watch.

IC Reader 0.1.1

What's new

• Card designs closer to the real cards: PASMO, TOICA, manaca and nimoca follow the real cards' layouts (lettering placement and colours, TOICA's wave, manaca's and nimoca's circles), and Suica, PASMO, TOICA, manaca and nimoca get the small direction arrow near the top-left corner. Their launcher icons match.
• Card photos look right on the watch: photos of cards in soft or grey colours are no longer turned into the wrong colours on the Pebble.
  • PiTaPa keeps its grey and lavender (it was cyan and royal blue).
  • Kitaca keeps its grey sky and the full "Kitaca" lettering (the grey "i" and "c" disappeared).
  • manaca's grey lettering stays grey.
  • Suica's green panel is one even green.
  • Thin, low-contrast lettering survives at watch size.

Install

Download ic-reader-0.1.1.apk below and open it on your phone (Android 8 or later, with NFC). It installs over 0.1.0 and keeps your cards. If the watch already has the IC Reader watch app, you don't need to reinstall it: open it on the watch and the new card faces are sent over. The watch app is unchanged (1.0.0).

IC Reader 0.1.0

First public release of IC Reader, by Grillza.

IC Reader reads Japanese FeliCa IC cards with your Android phone's NFC: balance and history for Suica, PASMO, ICOCA, TOICA, manaca, Kitaca, SUGOCA, nimoca, Hayakaken, PiTaPa and other transit cards, plus Rakuten Edy, nanaco and WAON.

What's in it

• Scan: hold a card to the phone; a new card opens as a preview before it's saved.
• Wallet: all your saved cards and their total balance.
• History: grouped by day, with station names (about 5,900, in Japanese, English or both), fares and purchase times. Scanning regularly builds up more history than the card's own last 20 records. Export it as CSV.
• Card faces: simple designs in each brand's colours, or a photo of your own card, cut to the card's shape.
• App icon: pick an icon that matches your card.
• Backup and restore to a .zip file.
• Pebble watch app (optional): balances, card faces and history on every Pebble. Switch it on in Settings → Pebble watch.

Install

Download ic-reader-0.1.0.apk below and open it on your phone (Android 8 or later, with NFC). You may need to allow installs from your browser or file manager. The Pebble watch app is installed from inside IC Reader, so you don't need the .pbw unless you want to sideload it.

Notes

All original IC card artwork, logos and names belong to their respective companies; IC Reader isn't affiliated with any card issuer. A photo you add of your own card is only for identifying the card in the app and on your watch, and is never uploaded, published or used for profit. Everything stays on your phone.
