PassWallet: entradas, billetes y ocio en el móvil

Esta semana os presentamos una app muy práctica que descubrimos este verano. PassWallet es la versión para Android, BlackBerry y Windows Phone del famoso PassBook, que ya incorporan de serie los iPhone. Esta aplicación, que hemos probado de momento en Android, nos permite guardar entradas para espectáculos, cine y conciertos, además de billetes de transporte y cupones de distintas empresas. Al comprar por Internet, nos ofrecerán la opción de guardar en este formato, que se importa fácilmente con un smartphone.

Con PassWallet se puede hacer una copia de seguridad de las entradas y billetes para sincronizarlos con Drive o Dropbox. Así, perderlos será todavía más difícil. Ya hemos hecho un par de pruebas con billetes de Renfe y entradas para un festival con resultados dispares. En el primer caso viajamos sin problema pero el festival solo tenía una cola de acceso preparada para entradas con móvil y tuvimos que imprimirlas igualmente. Nos cuentan que Ticketea fue la primera empresa en implantar este sistema en España y ya está disponible en cines Kinépolis y compañías aéreas como Lufthansa.

En definitiva, se trata de una aplicación que cumple con la filosofía que muchas otras deberían perseguir: hacernos la vida más sencilla. Ojalá dentro de poco tiempo el uso de esta app sea lo habitual y no una novedad que se quede en el olvido.

Lo mejor: intuitiva, rápida, ahorro de tiempo y papel.

Lo peor: muchas empresas de España siguen sin dar el paso.

Add Unsupported Passes, Cards, And Tickets in Passbook

Good article from CultofMac, one interesting feature: the ability to add unsupported passes, cards, And tickets inside Passbook

"Yeah, we get it: Passbook is awesome. It’s also woefully under-populated with only a handful or three of official apps.

But look, Passbook files aren’t even that special. They’re just specially formatted computer files with a .pkpass extension. What’s neat about that is that anyone can create one of these files, and then send them to you in email, or have you download them from the web. That way, you can take advantage of Passbook system without being limited to the official Passbook apps on your iPhone."

PassWallet is now Location Alert Enabled!

As you know, Passbook passes are not natively supported on Android and PassThai team was wondering if the "Pass localization alert" feature existing on Passbook Passes exist also in Android PassWallet

The answer is: YES IT DOES and it is very new...  PassWallet has been updated to v1.16 to get Notification bar support.

Found an article from GainLoyalty.com dated 26 Mar 2013.

"The recent update to the Android PassWallet app has introduced support for location awareness.

So now if a Passcard contains the latitude and longitude of a site, then, just like PassBook on the iPhone, PassWallet will alert the user when they are near to your site. A small yellow icon is displayed in the top-left hand corner of the screen even while the screen is locked, and expanding the top notification bar reveals the card that has flagged up its location."

"So with both Maps and alerting users when they are nearby, PassWallet is becoming a great way for customers to store their loyalty cards on an Android phone."

"Bar code-based mobile coupons will take flight this holiday season"

“Apple’s recent launch of Passbook will likely contribute to an increase of in-app mobile coupons as well. Passbook’s strong tie-in with location could help retailers ramp up their mobile initiatives this season. In fact, Yankee Group’s data finds that 43 percent of retailers plan to use location-based data to send out relevant, local offers over the next two years.Additionally, many retailers are eyeing Passbook for its loyalty program integration.”
