easyJet finally adds Passbook support to its iPhone app

Passbook sounded like a great idea when it was launched. A single place where you can store all forms of digital passes, tickets, coupons and digital store cards. And, while it may be useful in the States, here in the UK it’s close to redundant. Unless you like to travel with the more expensive airlines, and enjoy booking hotels regularly, the only…

So, Samsung just unveiled Wallet, look familiar?

Yes, I’m the Managing Editor of an iPhone blog. So, naturally everyone assumes already that I think Samsung is a company that only knows how to copy.

I don’t even know where…

Passbook apps easier to find in iOS 6.1

If any of you have used Apple’s Passbook app, you may know that after you download one Passbook supported app, it is difficult to find others that are supported. Once one app is downloaded, the “Welcome” card disappears from Passbook forever making searching for Passbook apps much more difficult. Apple’s new iOS 6.1 has finally fixed that problem. In…

British Airways to support Passbook

Passbook was a feature I was skeptical of when iOS 6 was announced. Of course I liked the idea, but it was up to companies to actually bring the support. However, it is off to a promising start. Starbucks, Target, Delta and American Airlines, and other companies are beginning to integrate the service into their applications. Well, joining the…

Apple Store app updated with Passbook gift cards and Siri support

The iOS Apple Store application has always been the odd man out of the Apple-built app family. As far as new features are concerned, this app is always the last one to be updated. It took a week or two to gain support for the Retina display when the iPhone 4 first launched and, more recently, it went un-updated for days before finally gaining support…
