Passbook in iOS 6

[Tom]

Anyone else using this? I'm loving it.
Particularly impressed with my home made subcard, pops up at my local subway without me doing anything.

Just need a few more people to get on board with it all.

 

[Scrooge]

What is it?

 

[Rubicon_]

When I open Passbook it takes me to the AppStore to the Passbook apps. In there though it only displays 5 apps like Starbucks and hotels etc.

Tried searching the App Store for subway and that driving licence and i get nothing...

I tried to get boarding passes etc on it. Gave up in the end.

Either it's a peice of s**t software (which apple is pretty good at at the moment) which was rushed out, or I can't fathom how to do it.

 

[Eddie.]

No idea how you get the driving license one?!

 

[Adamm.]

Yeah didn't think it was much use for me.

How do you get your driving licence and Subway ones on there?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Last time I searched to add apps in it, it just took me to the normal app store! Got pissed off with it, gave up.

I've even got a flight in a few hours, I tried earlier to get my boarding pass on it. Gave up again.

 

[Tom]

Oh, maybe not.

The subcard one I had to build. The driving licence is from an app called lemon wallet.

What good is the driving licence one though? its just the same as having a photocopy, nowhere would accept it as proof of ID etc

 

[Rob]

I don't actually get it.

What does it achieve in any way, shape, or form?

 

[Tom]

It's a digital wallet rob.

Driving licence is for work, I'm constantly giving out my number. So it's easier for me to have it handy/

I can't see anywhere using it as ID.

Just like having the tesco club card app though aint it?

 

[Adam]

How did you get the Subcard one on there?

 

[AK]

Can you explain how you did it all Tom?

 

[Adam]

Yeah come on Tom

 

[Tom]

Did i not? I'm on my phone so i cba.

Can you actually use the SubCard app as a replacement for the old card though? Or does it just show your points balance?

Doesn't even work for me. Have added my Starbucks app to it and it doesn't even display it.

Stuck Passbook in a folder hidden away as its just another useless icon on my phone now.

Yeah of course. Subcard is a "dumb" system. The points don't update automatically, you'd need to do that.

Like that?

 

[M26]

Like that?

Yup, I've added it to Passbook but it still displays the default start up screen telling you about what Passbook does and to go to the App Store.

Starbucks App works if I just go to the Starbucks app.

 

[Tom]

Admittedly I'm running 6.1, so there might be bugs

I've got the Starbucks Card which pops up when I'm near my local Starbucks, but other than that I haven't got any uses for it. I don't even know how to search for Passbook apps on the App Store? When I search for passbook, it returns results such as Shazam, Words With Friends and Angry Birds Star Wars.....
