About PassAndroid Passbook viewer

What is it?

This app is a viewer for passes - a pass could be a e.g. boarding-pass for your next flight, a coupon for a nice hot beverage on the destination, a movie ticket, a membership card - there are a lot of possibilities.
Basically it is a replacement for a piece of paper or plastic you would normally have to carry with you - so lets save some trees and reduce waste!
Also this app is Free-Software - Free not only as in "Free Beer" - but more as in Richard Stallmans Concept of Free and Open Software for a better World.

How does it work?

There are so called espass or pkpass files - you can open them with this app - e.g. when you receive them via email or get an Download-option. The most important content is the BarCode ( QR , AZTEC & PDF417which authorizes you most of the time - but it also has other interesting content like a description - often a time ( that you now can add to your calendar ) - often also locations ( to give you directions ) - just try It out!
The app is offline usable once you downloaded the pass!

History

I stumbled upon Passbook files when i received my ticket for the 29c3 - I liked the Idea - but there was no Android App which was working for me. I saw that the implementation is quite easy ( just a zip container with json and images ) - The first version was build very quick & was working for me ( got entry to 29C3 ) - In the following year I have not worked on this app much as I had no real use-cases but there where a lot of users downloading the app and I fixed processing of some passes that where send to me ( some passes contain really broken json .. )
One year later - just before the 30C3 - I came to work a bit on this app again - for 2 reasons:
- a friend of mine is very into this whole BTLE thing and location beacon / context aware thing could be interesting for Passbook - but nothing ready yet
- I got a mail from a Luis Torrecilla - a very nice designer who did a great redesign
This all was leading to PassAndroid - a completely new version - with a new look and new functions ( sorting and adding to calendar alongside pull to refresh a navigation drawer and contextual ActionBar menu )

Was sent a pkpass file from ios that i couldn't open on android. Downloaded this app and it found the file and opened it straight away. Stores the files in there too which is simple to find and use.

I'll appreciate it if you could add the opportunity to scan directly with the same app and not that I have to download an install an other app like barcode scanner. Thank you for your hard job. I will add more stars if you complete your hard job to become an amazing and useful to the open source community.

Amazing app, totally equivalent - and maybe better - than the Apple Wallet. Now a travel necessity.

LG Nexus 5 And.6.0.1 [now beta7.11.18] It Works. Love the small app size & simplicity. (Bought an online cinema ticket - could have just used barcode screenshot, but I like knowing the other details + the offline use). Haven't needed the contrast setting - but good to know it's there. It means I'll be more likely to buy online tickets from now on.

Works perfectly on my BlackBerry Priv

The barcode reader at the airports don't read the barcode I have on this app. Maybe it is cos of my phone, I have samsung s8+ which is curved screen, that might be the problem but I don't think so cos I did make the barcode small enough that'd not react the curves. Or maybe it is just the app.. idk but there is something wrong with it. If it can be fixed then it is a really good app for Android users who are planning to use it as their boarding pass.

by N####:

It was so handy being able to buy my tickets on line and then just keep them on my phone. I travelled around Spain and this app was great, especially as I don't speak Spanish so I didn't have to try and buy tickets at the ticket offices.

N70%
by N####:

The setting to change the order of the passes doesn't work. No matter what setting I choose the oldest passes appear at the top which is silly. Fix this and it'll be a 5 star app.

N70%
by N####:

Great app! But.. The way passes are organized is a bit inconvenient. Categories would be great. This sliding from left to right (and vice versa) and thus putting passes to trash, etc. is not intuitive at all.

E70%
by E####:

Such an amazing app that allows me to download my tickets for my local Cineworld, AND import PDF tickets obtained from other sites for events and such. I can also customise the tickets by giving them a different title or changing the logo so I can see what they're for at a glance. This app is on my home screen and will not be moving anytime soon. Gone are the days where I would have to dig up the email from a website in order to download a pic of my tickets in order to get the QR code to get in somewhere. Now, thanks to this app, everything is here, in date order. (I also love how my screen goes super bright as soon as I select a ticket so it can be easily scanned by the other person).

N70%
by N####:

Shows the passbook, works offline and shows the remaining time to departure. All I need, perfect! It can improve the visualisation of passports though.

My friend was going to get to the ballpark late and sent my ticket via email. Had to find an app to use to actually see the ticket. This worked out great. Made it to seat at first pitch.

Really easy to use, I used it for my boarding passes and it worked perfectly. Download as pkpass and open in the app, it couldn't be more easy

Really MUST have tool for frequent travellers that do not want to use an iPhone but miss the Wallet function ! Thanks a lot for developing it ;-) BTW in the list of Pass working, you may ad Nordica/LOT

Brilliant! Can keep everything in one place and even screenshots of other important things can be imported into the app!

S70%
by S####:

Awesome app, does exactly what it needs to and doesn't spam you with advertising or anything. I love this app, the developer should be thanked, and it's free as well!

N70%
by N####:

Needed an app to open and view a boarding pass and this app achieved that quickly and successfully​ so very happy with the ease of use and simplicity.

B70%
by B####:

Useful tool. I'm travelling as lead in a large party so could you display the traveller names on the home screen? Saves having to open and close multiple to get to the right one.

F70%
by F####:

Simple, easy to use and no ads. A helpful companion.

H70%
by H####:

Haven't used it as a ticket yet but it found passes for both omniplex.ie and imccinemas.ie I had downloaded so worthy of 5 stars. I will update if it doesn't work when I go to use it.

N70%
by N####:

Works very well. It would be 5 stars if you could swipe to display a 2nd pass rather than having to return to the main screen to open the 2nd pass in the situation where you're carrying a ticket for another person accompanying you.

J70%
by J####:

Very nice app ligi. It would be nice to be able to sync it with Nextcloud. Can you scan business cards? Thank you keep up your good projects and be free ;)

N70%
by N####:

Built-in QR/Barcode scanning feature for adding passes would be helpful. Also allowing passes to automatically update.

I70%
by I####:

Looks pretty good. Didn't pick up files from internal storage so had to add manually but no other issues

T70%
by T####:

Nice little app. I would personally reorganize the top text section a bit, like putting the departure and destination on one line, etc. But that's just cosmetic. Light, simple, as free. All good.

N70%
by N####:

very good app would have been 5 stars had 4 tickets had to open and close each one not good when your in a queue ay boarding
