WalletPasses | Passbook Wallet

This used to be an app I used rarely but that was useful when I did. It was nice to have a spot to put any Apple Wallet passes that were awkward to take screenshots of or something. But now, every time you open the app, there's a full-screen add you have to sit through (even though when you need to use a pass, you need to use it then), and to top it off, the add is incredibly scummy, saying something like "Activate your account" with a "click here" button and no other text. Ridiculous.

This app works really well for an app that hasn't been updated in 3 years. The biggest problem I see is that it doesn't work as advertised. Supposedly it can search through emails, documents, etc and it will pull the codes out for you. That has worked for me maybe once or twice. What you actually do is go to the document that has the code and share it to the application. It then pulls the code out of the document and you click a button that adds it to the app. Fix the instructions please.

I thought I would use this app to store all my train, plane, and bus boarding passes for an upcoming trip to Europe instead of searching through pictures and PDFs for them. Nope! I thought wrong. Every time I hit 'import passes' the only pass that would import would be an old bus pass from a year and a half ago, none of the 12-15 boarding passes that I had downloaded for this upcoming trip were imported. There needs to be another way to import things manually.

Automatic updates are disabled even though the switch is flipped on. It claims to have updated the pass but it clearly hasn't because automatic updates are disabled. There are A LOT of suspect reviews for this app now too. I would not recommend this app for anything more than a one time use item and if you have a vendor that sends annual passes through it, ask for another method.

Initially I was very happy with this app after giving it my first "pass". later when I tried to add more, there seemed no method available to add them (the "+" sign turned on a QR reader), and I could find nothing else. I wrote the vendor a week ago, but have not heard back. A few days after my first experience, I tried the product on a different smart phone, loading my second set of passes onto it successfully. But, it would then load the first set on my first device. Same problem as before, two different devices. Both devices were different generations of Moto products. I don't know whether that's relevant. But I'm presuming from the number of positive reviews I see, it must be doing a good job for many people. Not hearing back from support, and finding an alternative that works for all my passes (except PDF versions), was enough to break the deal. Uninstalled recently.
