By ligi
What is it?
This app is a viewer for passes - a pass could presumably be a e.g. boarding-pass on your next flight, a coupon for a pleasant scorching beverage on the destination, a movie ticket, a membership card - there are plenty of prospects.
Basically it is a alternative for a piece of paper or plastic you'd usually have to carry with you - so lets avoid wasting timber and scale back waste!
Also this app is Free-Software - Free not solely as in Free Beer - however more as in Richard Stallmans Concept of Free and Open Software for a better World.
How does it work?
There are so referred to as espass or pkpass recordsdata - you'll be able to open them with this app - e.g. when you receive them by way of email or get an Download-option. The most essential content is the BarCode ( QR , AZTEC PDF417which authorizes you more typically than not - but it also has other interesting content like a description - typically a time ( that you just now can add to your calendar ) - often additionally areas ( to provide you instructions ) - simply strive It out!
The app is offline usable once you downloaded the pass!
History
I stumbled upon Passbook files when i obtained my ticket for the 29c3 - I liked the Idea - but there was no Android App which was working for me. I noticed that the implementation is kind of straightforward ( only a zip container with json and images ) - The first model was build very quick was working for me ( obtained entry to 29C3 ) - In the following year I have not labored on this app much as I had no real use-cases however there the place plenty of users downloading the app and I fastened processing of some passes that the place send to me ( some passes contain really damaged json .. )
One yr later - just earlier than the 30C3 - I got here to work a bit on this app once more - for 2 reasons:
- a good friend of mine could be very into this entire BTLE factor and site beacon / context aware factor could presumably be interesting for Passbook - however nothing prepared yet
- I obtained a mail from a Luis Torrecilla - a really nice designer who did a great redesign
This all was leading to PassAndroid - a very new model - with a new look and new functions ( sorting and including to calendar alongside pull to refresh a navigation drawer and contextual ActionBar menu )
