The app is so useful in Hong Kong but there is the issue of topping up. If you have that issue add less money and it should work.

I’ve been coming to Hong Kong quite often for work but always had trouble in the past “Topping Up” my card so I could do laundry. I believe I’ve narrowed down some of my previous mistakes: - Originally tried using Octopus App (not Octopus TOURIST). - When attempting to “Top Up” funds on regular Octopus App it would ask for a local phone number which I don’t have since I live in the U.S. I should have been using Octopus TOURIST app - Added my credit cards to Apple Pay and attempted to “Top Up” using a Visa credit card which wasn’t working for some reason, it seems Mastercard is preferred here WHAT DID THE TRICK: I ended up adding my Debit card to my Apple Pay and was finally successful adding funds to my Octopus Tourist card from there. Apps current 2/5 Star rating is misleading, I was finally able to figure it out and can confirm it works and is legit. Just took some trial and error.
