Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Diese App ermöglicht das Auslesen der eTickets der deutschen Verkehrsverbünde (VDV-KA) per NFC-Schnittstelle. Einfach das elektronische Fahrticket unter ihr Mobiltelefon halten - bing - und schon erscheinen die gespeicherten Ticketdaten. So kann man selbst eine schnelle Fahrtkartenkontrolle durchführen. Die App wurde bisher mit eTickets der Verkehrsverbünde VRR und VRS in NRW getestet. Weitere Verkehrsverbünde werden nur teilweise unterstützt: HVV, VBB, VVO, RMV, VVS, AVV, VGM, MDV. Gerne können Sie mich unterstützen, die Tickets weiterer Verkehrsverbünde auszuwerten. Da es sich um keine offizielle App der Verkehrsunternehmen handelt, kann ich jedoch keine Gewähr für Korrektheit und Vollständigkeit der angezeigten Informationen übernehmen. Bei einigen Smartphones dauert das Auslesen des Chips zu lange - typische Fehlermeldungen sind dann "Tag was lost". Hier hilft evtl. das Umschalten des NFC-Chips in den "Erweiterten NFC-Einstellungen" oder der "Kompatibilitätsmodus" in den Einstellungen der App. Fehler, Probleme und Verbesserungsvorschläge werden gerne per Email entgegengenommen - bitte nicht einfach einen Kommentar im Google Play Market schreiben, sondern mir eine kurze Email schicken. Notwendige Berechtigungen: * NFC - Nutzung der NFC-Schnittstelle zum Auslesen der Tickets * CAMERA - zum Aufnehmen von Barcodes * INTERNET/NETWORK_STATE - Einbindung von Werbung über Google AdMob This app makes it possible to read the eTickets of the German transport associations (VDV-KA) via NFC interface. Simply hold the electronic travel ticket under your mobile phone - bing - and the saved ticket data will appear. So you can even perform a quick ticket control. The app has so far been tested with eTickets of VRR and VRS in NRW. Other transport associations are only partially supported: HVV, VBB, VVO, RMV, VVS, AVV, VGM, MDV. You are welcome to help me to evaluate the tickets of other transport associations. Since this is not an official app of the transport companies, however, I can not guarantee the correctness and completeness of the information displayed. On some smartphones reading the chip takes too long - typical error messages are then "day was lost". This may help to switch the NFC chip in the "Advanced NFC Settings" or the "compatibility mode" in the settings of the app. Errors, problems and suggestions for improvement are welcome via email - please do not write a comment in Google Play Market, but send me a short email. Necessary permissions: * NFC - use the NFC interface to read the tickets * CAMERA - for recording barcodes * INTERNET / NETWORK_STATE - Integrate advertising through Google AdMob
