Smartphone is convenient for application
When registering from a PC, it is necessary to install the software, which is unexpectedly difficult to operate. In addition, you have to go out to use the terminal in the minor point support spot.
That's where smartphones come in handy. If you have a smartphone with a reader function, you don't need to do any difficult operations as long as you install the app. It is convenient and hassle-free to use smartphones as much as possible.
