How to scan
- Open Universal IC and tap Scan.
- Hold the card flat against the top back of your iPhone.
- Keep it there until the scan finishes.
If it doesn't read, take the iPhone out of a thick case and keep other cards away from it. Scanning needs an iPhone with NFC: iPhone 7 or later.
Frequently asked questions
Why doesn't my card show a balance?
Some cards, such as myki and Adelaide metroCARD, lock the balance so phones can't read it. Navigo holds passes, not money, so there's no balance to show.
Is the balance live?
No. It's what the card recorded the last time it was used.
My card isn't supported.
The app shows the card type it detected. Email hello@aakashmehra.com with the card's name and the city it's from.
Does the app upload my card data?
No. Your card data, scan history and exports stay on your iPhone. See the privacy policy.
How do I remove ads?
Go to Settings → Remove ads. It's a one-time purchase. Already bought it on another device, or reinstalled the app? Tap Restore purchase.
How do I export a card?
In Cards, long-press a card or tap its ⋯ menu, then tap Export and choose CSV, PDF or JSON.
