Why is it that I cannot get passbook apps to load into passbook

I open passbook and it shows all of the card options. It also shows App Store at the bottom. By changing the time of day I finally got it to go to the App Store without an error message but now I download and open the apps and they still don't load into passbook. Anybody have any thoughts.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

Hey Guys - from what I understand and have read, there is no App to drag into Passbook. Basically, the few apps that are currently configured to work with it (MLB, Ticketmaster, Fandango, Walgreens, Live Nation, Sephora) have been updated to be Passbook compatible. So, the next time you purchase tickets for a Movie if the App is installed on the phone, the ticket itself will appear in Passbook. Same goes for each individual app.


The operations they showed in the demos (Stabucks, Airlines, etc) were prototypes and not yet working. The app developers and corporations will have to update their respective apps to have them integrate/sync with Passbook moving forward.

Hope this makes sense.

Completely understand, I was in the same boat. I have been using Keyring forever and love it. The idea of ditching all your loyalty cards to have them on the phone is definitely the way things are moving - but Passbook isn't that yet.


I think eventually it will get to that point, but it is up to the App developers themselves to redesign their apps to ingetrate with Passbook (something that as of right now only about 6 companies have done)


EVENTUALLY - it should work as demonstrated when Apple showed us the launch video but for right now, it's just a few apps that work with it. All the cool ones we saw (Airlines, Starbucks, etc) are not yet built or active.

My guess is that within a year there will be many more apps working in conjunction with it.

Unfortunately Target has not yet been updated to include Passbook integration. Once they do (and the App is linked to Passbook) I imagine that is when you will see the Loyalty cards show up or any coupons etc appearing in there.


The full list of Apps that work with Passbook are:


As of Wednesday afternoon, the full list of highlighted Passbook applications on the App Store includes:

  • Fandango Movies — Times & Tickets
  • Live Nation
  • Lufthansa
  • MLB.com At Bat
  • Sephora to Go
  • Ticketmaster
  • Walgreens


That means only these 7 apps currently are working with Passbook integration. Within the Live Nation App, in the settings or account, there should be an option to link with Passbook. If you don't see it, either you haven't updated it yet, or you have no tickets purchased for upcoming events that would show up in there.


These links have some usefull information:

A poster on another thread said once they downloaded the Walgreen's app, it showed up in Passbook under store cards automatically. I already had Walgreens and Target apps, but neither one are showing up in Passbook, no idea how to get them in there, and.all my apps are up to date. I just downloaded ticketmaster and live nation, but they arent showing in passbook either...I still get the screen which shows the different app options, with the App Store button at the bottom.

Ahh, ok, I was able to add Target and Walgreens from the apps themselves. Went to the Walgreen's app, signed up for WG rewards, ... then I got the option to add it to Passbook. For Target app, I signed up for mobile coupons, the next time I opened it I got the choice to add to Passbook as well. So I guess you have to play around with each app to add to passbook.
