Don’t know if this is Apples fault or the developers but I have the Ciniplex app, I purchase tickets all time with it and it is supposed to support Passbook. The way it was presented by Apple when I show up at the theater and turn on my iPhone the tickets should show up, instead I have to hunt for the tickets. Most times I just end up going to the App.

I flew American a couple weeks ago and wanted to use it. But the flight I took didn’t support it.

I use the Apple Store, Ticketmaster, American Airlines, and Fandango app, but Passbook Still doesn’t do anything. I keep thinking I misconfigured something, but I can’t figure out what.

Looks like you just announced to the world that you’re an idiot and apparently too stupid to realize it. Congratulations doofus.

It works great for me, being an old fart on meds.

Perhaps you should look in the mirror to see who has failed.

Use it for Starbucks mostly, haven’t traveled lately so no use there yet.
It needs to replace all the gas, grocery, Target, etc. cards.

the merits or faults of passbook aside, this article smells like a PR purchase.

I only use it with Starbucks, they need to have more merchants that adopt to it, and they better move it, or it will soon become another ping…

I use it for my United boarding boarding pass when I travel (several times per month). Works well. Doesn’t always update seat changes or gate changes quickly but I think that is due to either slow Internet or overloaded servers.

Passbook is a fail. I open it and can’t figure it out how to use it. Not apple like at all.

Same here. It is useless to me so far. I look forward to a good use soon though.

I use it at Starbucks every day, use the SPG one often (I travel a lot… ), and used it at Walgreens for the first time earlier this week. I wish Delta would get their Passbook integration working, but the Delta app itself is great, so no real complaints there.

Passbook has been one of those things that just speeds up the process a little more, and makes something that was already convenient (by launching the proper app) even more so.

And this is infinitely better than carrying all those damn cards around with me.

Just used the Passbook this weekend with my American Airlines account. It worked very well and I plan to use it again. It’s easier than carrying all that stuff around.
