Description
Octopus on iPhone or Apple Watch simplifies the way you ride transport and shop in Hong Kong. Breeze through turnstiles or pay at retail outlets just by tapping your iPhone or Apple Watch on Octopus readers. No need to open an app or wake your device. Check your balance and skip queues by topping up using your favourite credit / debit card.
It is easy to get an Octopus before or after you arrive in Hong Kong. If you have an iPhone X or later, or Apple Watch Series 3 or later, simply download the Octopus App for Tourists to add a new Octopus. It is a breeze to check your balance and top up using your favourite credit card / debit card. If you already have a physical Octopus card, you can transfer it to your iPhone or Apple Watch easily.
With Octopus App for Tourists, you can:
- Add an Octopus Card to your iPhone or Apple Watch with just a few steps
- Top up anytime, anywhere, with your favourite non-Hong Kong issued Mastercard, UnionPay or Visa credit or debit cards
- Check the balance and spending records of your Octopus
- Apply for a refund of the deposit and remaining value on your Octopus before departing Hong Kong

Ratings and Reviews
Good concept, but doesn’t work all the time
When it works, it’s easy and convenient for tourists as a travel card. But randomly and without reason, sometimes topping up the card fails and there’s nothing you can do about it.
A Great Way to Travel in HKG
Used this 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 app for my recent 4D3N trip to Hong Kong. Managed to install the app and top up via credit card even before our travel. The app also supports 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝 function on Apple wallet; allowing us to travel seamlessly without requiring Face ID or passcode authentication.
The app can be used immediately for the bus ride to our hotel in Kowloon from the airport. Works seamlessly throughout our 4-days stay in Hong Kong, whether we are commuting on KMB bus or MTR.
Refund process was easy too and we get our money refund back to our credit card within couple of days.
I highly recommend this for people who plans to travel to Hong Kong.
No issue topping up and using it
This review is for my trip to Hong Kong in Sep 2023. I have no issues installing the app on my iPhone, topping up with my Singapore credit card and using the app for MTR riders and food and drinks at Octopus terminals. I also have no issues topping up more funds with my credit cards when needed.
