Hey everyone! I got sick of Stocard bugging me for location access and push notifications when I just wanted some discounted spuds at Tesco with my club card. So I built the privacy-friendly digital barcode wallet that I wanted to use! Despite the name, you can also use it to scan and store QR codes. Highlights: 📸 Add barcodes from camera or images ☁️ iCloud backup and sync 🧠 Smarts through Siri and shortcuts to identify patterns ⌚️Apple Watch app and home screen widgets As well as: 🚫 no location access 🚫 no push notifications 🚫 no data tracking 🚫 no account needed ⚡️ You can store 10 barcodes for free, or unlimited cards with a 0.99 a month subscription or 9.99 once off lifetime unlock. If you choose to use the free version then once every 12 hours an ad is displayed when you open the app, which can be dismissed. Ads are powered by Not Evil Ads, the privacy friendly ad network for iOS. If you're using another loyalty card wallet app I would love to hear what you think of Barcodes!

Totally feel your frustration with Stocard. Last time I was in a grocery store and needed a barcode I was shocked about the mobile data warning it would have used to get my offloaded app to open. Appreciate the pricing, maybe you can bake in ‘Add to Wallet’, for privacy friendly location detection (probably with user-set location data)

@marceldarvas yeah after a while I had a note with all the things I would do differently haha, and then I eventually built it. Yeah that's a good idea, I haven't looked into what the 'Add to Wallet' would enable completely yet. Because of the Siri integration, if you have suggestions enabled, Siri can learn your patterns and suggest the app at places where you use it frequently without me ever needing location access in app! Which is perfect I think 😁

I've been testing it, and it's well-designed. However, in India, people will either ask for the physical card or ask you to show them the email. Nevertheless, I have found one application for it: storing the ISBNs of my books. Also, I think it is a little pricey; a good pricing example I could find is Stats.fm (formerly Spotistats), which is both well-designed and reasonably priced.

Hey @choudhary! Thanks for checking it out. I didn't know that about the market in India, that people ask for the physical card, that's really interesting. At the moment my goal with the pricing is to make it accessible and useful to everyone by having a limited free tier, and then making an app that is worth the cost if they choose to upgrade. I don't track or sell any user data, so it means that the app is the product not the user! Thanks for the feedback though on the pricing, I'll take that on board and keep it in mind 😊

@jknlsn Indian market is still in the early stages of adoption. With time, it will become more fluid. When UPI (a mobile based payment method; https://www.npci.org.in/what-we-...) was initially introduced, people used to make you wait until they were certain they had gotten the money, but this is no longer the case. (it processes around 4 billion transactions per month: https://www.npci.org.in/what-we-...) and just for illustration purpose (since they are very different things), SWIFT processes around 1.5billion transactions a month (https://www.swift.com/about-us/d...) Because Barcode is more of an utility software than something that people will spend a lot of time with, I believe it should be priced such that people will buy it and forget about subscriptions and other stuff.
