This app is way cool...maybe it is because I get to use my phone as a Nets Flashpay reader, and am able to check my card balance and transaction history anywhere in the world.  To use this app, you have to have a NFC enabled phone and switch on NFC. Place your Nets FLASHPAY card on your mobile phone, and it works like a dream.My Samsung Galaxy Note2 is on the list, so I tried all my cards that are Nets FLASHPAY enabled!

Singaporeans and tourists alike can now plan their journey and get to any destination in Singapore easily, with a few inputs on their smartphones. The best thing is, this app is available for free, unlike the paid app gothere.sg which I reviewed a few months ago. Released by TransLink, the bus and MRT operator, it even includes bus and train arrival times. What are some of the key features of TransitLink's How2Go mobile application for the iphone and android?

• Search using address, bus stop code, postal code, landmark, MRT / LRT station and road name. 
• 'My Location' identifies user’s current location (GPS accuracy is dependent on user’s iPhone**).
• ‘Bus Arrival Times’ provides users with the estimated arrival times of the next two buses of the selected bus service.
• 'Advanced Search' option allows users to customize their routes by selecting their preferred transport mode, payment, travel option, day and time of travel as well as specifying the fare type, maximum number of transfers, maximum walking distance, etc.
• Prompt user if the bus services have ended and provide suggested solutions for the following day, 0700 hours onwards.
• 'Browse Map' brings up the map of Singapore and clicking the 'Bus/MRT/LRT' icon will show the bus stops, MRT and LRT stations on the map.
• 'Places of Interest' (POI) gives a list of tourist attractions in Singapore.
• 'Tools' allows user to shift 'Start' and 'End' markers to customize the origin and destination points on the map.
