[1]The Suica English App by Joel Breckinridge Bassett:
* SuicaEng App
* Add Suica
* Add a balance
* Use
Finally! After 2 years of [2]waiting for a full blown English
version of the Suica App with all the bells and whistles, JR East
has done the smart thing and [3]released the SuicaEng app instead.
This simple streamlined English app does one thing: add a virtual
Suica card to Apple Pay without a Mobile Suica account or any of
the hassle of dealing with the Japanese only Suica App options. It
does nothing else but should take care of most immediate inbound
needs. The same virtual Suica restrictions of Suica App apply:
* Only one Suica can be added, if you already have a Suica in Wallet
you cannot add another one with SuicaEng, a second virtual Suica
requires the [4]full Suica App and free registration of a Mobile
Suica account.
* Once added, Suica is managed in Wallet or Watch app.
The best thing would be adding virtual Suica directly in Wallet
without the need for an app, perhaps Apple and JR East will deliver
that eventually. Meanwhile anything more complicated than adding
virtual Suica: purchasing e-tickets, commuter pass, Green Seat
reservations etc., still requires the Japanese only Suica App.
YEAH!!!!
I still need the Japanese one, but this is huge for me!
