Presto Widget

About Presto Widget Android App

Presto Widget continually retrieves your Presto Card Balance from the Official Presto Website and displays it on your Android Home Screen. No need to constantly open an app or website to check your Presto Card Balance. It's Quick, Convenient, and a Major Time Saver!


IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to major changes to the Presto Website. Presto Widget can no longer support Registered Presto Cards (Presto Cards that require a Username / Password to log into the Presto Website). However, Presto Widget can still support Anonymous Cards (Presto Cards that require only a Card Number to log into the Presto Website).


Getting Started:

Step 1) Download the Presto Widget App

Step 2) Open the app and enter your presto card number

Step 3) Wait for the balance to load onto your screen.

Step 4) Once the balance successfully loads, close the app and navigate to your android device home screen

Step 5) Press and hold an empty space on your device home screen, then select the widgets option that appears

Step 6) Search for the presto widget, then drag and drop it onto an empty space on your device home screen

Step 7) Wait for the balance to load

Step 8) Refresh your balance or sit back and enjoy automated updates


Disclaimer: As it currently stands the Presto Website has a 24 hour delay when updating presto card balances and history. Therefore it is impossible for the Presto Widget to have an up to the minute "Live" balance of your presto card. The Presto Widget is best used to check your presto card balance after long periods of having not used your presto card i.e you haven't used your presto card in 1 or 2 days and would like to quickly check your balance.


Please do not rely on the Presto Widget for an accurate live total of your balance. The Presto Widget only reflects the balance found on the Presto Website, which updates every 24 hours. For more information on how the Presto Website updates visit the following link:
