Store Card Wallet: Barcode Pal 4+

Simply Great

It’s a simple premise, but mega convenient. The app’s build quality is also very good which is not something you see often in these utility type apps.

Can’t add more than 5 store cards

Great app if it wasn’t for the 5 fidelity store card limit. I was able to add more than 5 fidelity store cards in other applications of the genre. As I understand this it is that the grouping feature should be used for grouping all ticket concerts under one group. Fidelity store cards should be their own category since natively supported cards from official applications like « SAQ inspire » will have their own group excluding cards from this app. I wish the developer could update this and lift that limit.

The other let down was that it’s not possible to add a custom card if it’s missing from the database. You must choose amongst a generic logo library which is inconvenient when searching for your card.

It’s missing Canada Post in the database for example.

Last thing I didn’t like is that I had to pay before I could try the cards in Wallet. I only did because it had a solid review from a Reddit user.

I’ll be glad to revise this review if there’s an update to the application. Fingers crossed to see developments on these issues since I paid lifetime.

Thanks, glad you like it apart from what you’ve mentioned! The five store card grouping limit is increasing to ten in the next app update available soon. The grouping isn’t really optional with Apple Wallet, each store card is grouped under the certificate it is signed with. So I can add more certificates, but not dynamically and not indefinitely. I’m increasing the available grouping to ten after feedback, and I can look into increasing it further but I can’t remove the limit totally as I can’t create unlimited signing certificates. I can understand it’s not ideal, but it is a technical limitation that I’m working with.



There is a form to add logos underneath the logo search, or you can email me directly and I’m happy to add any logos. I’ve just added the Canada Post logo now, it should be available next time you open the app! I’ll see if I can make this clearer in the app.



I’m looking into ways to support trying out all the premium features, but it’s difficult to do so outside of the subscription trial, which allows this. I appreciate the feedback though.



It’s much easier for me to respond to constructive feedback over email, because the App Store review and reply doesn’t allow for any back and forth or conversation. So please, feel free to email me from the contact details in app about any of these points or with other feedback and I’m happy to discuss and see what I can do!

Needs ability to add own card images

Seems US centric on card images not many for UK or Canada.

Otherwise promising.

Hey there! I'm not based in the UK or Canada, so I don't know what brands are missing. If you send me an email to the contact details in app, I can usually add logos within a day or two! A few of the other reviews mention requesting logos, but it's not super clear in the app so I'll try and change that. Let me know what brands are missing and I'l add them, thanks for trying the app!
