How do I setup passbook?

I'm sorry but Passbook is nothing more than an icon taking up space in my Passbook folder! The other icons in that folder include a few of the so called apps that are supposed to be IN passbook... this is a piece of crap!

Sticking with Cardstar!

And while I am ranting - why the h*!! would you get rid of the native Youtube app?!?

I wasn't impressed with the Target App, but I think the issue is with Target's actual app.

The Starbucks update for Passbook came out last night and it appears to be working very well. This is probably the one app that I will use in Passbook the most. I am interested to see how it works.

Starbucks app just updated today. It works flawlessly... Unlike every other usable app, it goes right through the process and askes you if you would like to add Starbucks Cards to your passbook...

Imagine that??!! Working as an Apple device should. Let's see how long it takes for others to catch on.

After a long time on the phone with Apple and trial and error, I figured out the issue. I think the problem is that they do not explain well what the purpose of Passbook is. I assumed I was going to place the APP into Passbook and access from there. In fact, the purpose of Passbook is to store your cards like a wallet (e.g. Target gift card, Starbucks card, etc) and your boarding passes. If you are flying, your boarding pass is not available till you check in, normally one day before a flight. So, you can't access said boarding pass to enter into Passbook, until you check in online. I'm going to make a suggestion to Apple that they change this, so we can access our upcoming itineraries, would be a lot easier!

But, for Amtrak, if you book a trip, you have your boarding pass on your app immediately, so, in this case, you can go into the Amtrak app, click on your upcoming reservation, and keep clicking until you get to the screen with the ability to forward your ticket, and then you will have the option to add your ticket to Passbook.

For Starbucks, you go into the Starbucks app, pull up whatever card you want to add, hit "Manage" and then you will see the option to add the card to your Passbook.

Hope that makes sense!?

Thanks, markelh. Very helpful.

My pleasure, Ibohanan!
