Rebuilt from the ground up: a fresh design, dark mode, and Face ID unlock. All your loyalty and membership cards, one app.
CardStar keeps your loyalty, rewards and membership cards on your iPhone, so your wallet and keychain don't have to.
REBUILT FROM THE GROUND UP
This is a brand-new CardStar: faster, cleaner and built for today's iPhone, with a fresh design, dark mode, and Face ID or Touch ID unlock. Upgrading? Your cards and lists carry over.
ADD A CARD IN SECONDS
Point your camera at the barcode and CardStar reads it, or type the number in. Pick your store from hundreds of logos so every card is easy to spot.
SHOW IT AT THE REGISTER
Open a card and the cashier scans the barcode right off your screen. CardStar turns up the brightness while a barcode is showing so scanners read it the first time. Need it bigger? One tap shows it full screen.
THE CARDS YOU USE MOST, UP TOP
Your recently used cards sit at the top, and you can sort the rest A–Z, by most used, or in your own order. Search finds any card by name.
SHOPPING LISTS
Keep your shopping list next to your cards and check things off as you go.
SHARE WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD
With a free CardStar account, send a card to a family member by email, so a shared membership is on both of your phones.
PRIVATE AND SECURE
Your cards stay on your iPhone and in its backups, and CardStar works without an account. Add a passcode lock and unlock it with Face ID or Touch ID. Want your cards on another device too? Create a free CardStar account to back them up and use them anywhere.
I’ve had this App for nearly twelve (12) years or so. The history is patchy. Originally it worked very well. Then the company stopped supporting it and things went downhill. The current owner promised regular updates but only has done a few. For the past few months it’s been getting slower and slower to open. Since there’s no way to sort, it can take an inordinate amount of time to find your card. It might not be a actually that long but it is when your in line and the cashier and the people behind you are waiting on you. Update 2025: it’s now been five years plus since the last update. It’s only a matter of time and Apple iOS updates before it stops working.

Thank you for twelve years with CardStar, and for your patience. CardStar 6 is rebuilt from the ground up: it opens quickly, puts your recent cards at the top, and lets you sort and search so you're not hunting at the register.
Extremely Convenient
Cindy Burgener
I have been using CardStar for years and absolutely LOVE it!! I no longer have to carry 20+ rewards cards around on a key chain as I placed all of my cards in my CardStar app as well as any notes corresponding to that card. I also included other types of memberships and it's (my) numeric membership number so I would have record of it when needed. This app is oh so convenient and since I take my phone everywhere then of course I have all of my cards everywhere I frequent as well. It's an awesome shopping tool to have! I definitely recommend this app to anyone who loves retail and service rewards programs without the hassle of having to bring along al of those keychain rewards cards.CardStar receives an affirmative 5 star rating from me!!
iOS 13.1 problem
RJN2708
I had the same problem with the app not opening once I upgraded to iOS13.1. I finally gave up and downloaded Stocard which I have found to be even better. The only problem was that I had to load all of my loyalty cards into the app but fortunately I had saved most of the original cards in a drawer. Also my wife had not yet upgraded to iOS 13.1 so her CardStar was still working so I was able to get many of them from her. Very easy to upload using the camera and a lot of nice features.UPDATE: CardStar has resolved the issue with iOS13.1 with an upgrade that allows the app to be used with the new operating system. All my cards are saved in the app and can once again be used. I was contacted by the developer notifying me of this change - which I much appreciated. Glad to see that they are listening to user’s concerns.

Thanks for the report! An update is now available that resolves the iOS 13 crash. You will find your saved cards are available again in the update.
Bad bad bad for iPhone
nikopaikos
I used card star for years. Then they said I had to have a free upgrade to use it anymore even though all my cards are stored on it. After trying to use it and not successfully being able to, I decide to do the free upgrade. I clicked on the box to enter my email address the box jumps off the screen up above where anything is visible. You cannot enter your email address and if I enter a saved email address then I cannot click to the next box to confirm the email address or click to the next box to enter a password or click to the next box to answer the confirmation of the password. Tried this for a half hour. Finally decided maybe there’s a glitch in the app so I removed the app reinstalled it now all my cards are gone and it still will not let me enter my information to be able to use it.

Sorry about the sign-up screen jumping around while you typed. That was a real bug, and we're sorry it took so long to fix. CardStar 6 is rebuilt from the ground up: the account screens are new, and an account is now optional, so you can use your cards without one. Your saved cards carry over when you update. If anything still gets in your way, email support@cardstar.com.
Bug fixes and stability improvements.
