JR Kyushu to Resume Kyushu Shinkansen Service Between Shin-Minamata and Kagoshima-Chuo from August 7
East Japan Railway Company (JR East) has added a new widget to Mobile Suica on September 8.
The Android version has been revamped, and a widget is newly available on iOS. From the home screen, you can check your balance at a glance and proceed to payment without launching the app. Only one preselected Suica card can be displayed, and the Suica Penguin’s facial expression changes depending on the balance.
With the widget’s Quick Charge, the pre-set top-up amount and payment method are automatically selected on the charge screen, reducing steps.
