Useless
App and oyster login redundant for visitors, British citizens based overseas due to security “upgrade” ie downgrade, by TfL. Don’t download if you aren’t in the UK and don’t have a UK mobile number, TfL don’t want you.
App is temporarily unavailable
Description

When you top up your credit or buy a Travelcard or Bus & Tram Pass, it will be available to collect after 30 minutes when you touch your Oyster card on a yellow card reader as part of a journey on any London bus, or at any Tube, DLR, London Overground, TfL Rail or National Rail station within the pay as you go area, tram stop or River Bus pier.
Keeping on top of your spend is easy; see the date, time and cost of your journeys from the last 8 weeks.

You can’t currently add Oyster photocards to this app.
You can’t currently buy discounted tickets through the app.
For security reasons the TfL Oyster and contactless app is not supported on jailbroken devices.

TfL Oyster and contactless Reviews
Only for locals
Still requires a UK address
Terrible App
Terrible app. For a visitor, it’s very confusing, repeatedly asks you to sign in and verify you are human, and doesn’t explain at all how to PAY for transit in London. Don’t waste your time downloading this, it’s awful.
Disaster
I couldn’t log in for over a year and was informed that due to technical difficulties couldn’t access and try later. No one care to fix it and so should discourage people from using it as it is the worst app I have ever encountered and absolutely no maintenance of any kind. Don’t waste your time
Failed!
I have been using the app for quite a while. For the past 6 months after I enter my password it refuses to open claiming technical difficulties. Useless.
Visitor access
Visiting from Canada. Have an Oyster card from previous trips and wanted to check my balance before using the card but can’t do it. Not tourist friendly at all.
Requires a UK address.
Pretty unfortunate that this app requires a local address, as it makes it impossible for any tourists to even access it. Disappointed!
Unfriendly to Canadians?
As a frequent visitor to the UK I wanted to be able to check and top up my Oyster card. But to start an account a UK address is required! Why exclude those outside the UK, in my case Canada? Think globally please.
Visitor card
Can not add a visitor card what is the use of this app.
Unusable
App is borderline useless, doesn’t show incomplete journeys, can’t add or remove cards, topping up oyster is tedious, the OTP window frequently resizes so you can’t even put in your email to validate. No idea how it has such high ratings, TFL probably paying for good reviews
