Which cards can be scanned?
Suikakeibo is being developed for the Japanese market and therefore the following IC cards are currently supported:
| Well tested | Should work | Not working / Untested |
|---|---|---|
| Suica, PASMO, Kitaca, SAPICA, SUGOCA, Icoca, manaca, hayakaken, nimoca, toiCa, icsca, IruCa, Paspy, kumamonのICCard
E-Money: waon, nanaco, edy |
PiTaPa | ecomyca, ですか, Hareca, Tsukica |
Why do I need to scan my card again and again to update the data?
Your card only holds information of the recent 20 trips. By scanning it with Suikakeibo, you can save the data to your phone and can keep a full history. Due to privacy reasons it is not possible for my app to access data without scanning a card, so you will have to read your IC Card from time to time to have most recent data.
Why do some of my trips not show up when I am using my commuter pass?
One limitation of most Japanese IC cards is that when using a commuter pass, no public records will be written for the stations covered by the pass. Thus, Suikakeibo can only read your trips and shopping expenses not covered by a commuter pass.
How can I bring my data to my new Android phone?
Suikakeibo uses Android Auto Backup, so your data will be automatically restored when logging in to your new phone with the same Google Account.
Since 3.8.0: In case the Auto Backup does not work properly, you can also create a backup and restore in the `Settings`.
How can I track company expenses?
Suikakeibo helps you to get reimbursed for your company expenses without the hassle.
- Scan your card with Suikakeibo every other day.
- After scanning, mark company expenses with just two taps.
- When it's time for the report, export all the company expenses for the month.
- Using 'share after export', you can send the report right from your phone.
