[More convenient by linking with various apps and services]
■ JRE POINT
By registering Mobile Suica with "JRE POINT", you can earn points by using eligible JRE POINT affiliated stores and JR East railways. Especially when using trains, you can earn more points than the card-type Suica, so it's a great deal.
■ Touch Go! Shinkansen
It is possible to register for "Go! Shinkansen" using the Mobile Suica app (settings will be carried over even if you import from your Suica card). You can ride a non-reserved seat on the Shinkansen with the charge balance (prior reservation is not required).
■ Shinkansen e-ticket service
By registering as a member of "Ekinetto" and registering your Suica in your IC card information, you can use JR East's Shinkansen ticketless without having to pick up your ticket at the ticket vending machine or Midori no Madoguchi. If you apply early, you can also use the "Ekinet Tokuda" and "Sakini Tokuda" discounts.
■ Express reservation
If you register separately, you can also use JR Central's "Express Reservation" (paid service).

I was skeptical about using an app instead of a physical Suica card, but this app has exceeded my expectations. It's quick, reliable, and I never have to worry about running out of charge on my card. Definitely worth trying!
