If those are the only apps showing up then are the only ones available in your area/country. I am assuming you are out of the US because you do not have Target, Walgreens or Fandango. The four icons you see are part of an info screen that informs you what you can do with PassBook. The only link that works from there is the App store link.

I've downloaded a couple of apps too and don't see any change. I'm only guessing at this point, but reading this - perhaps Passbook is mostly just a glorified alert system - and won't look different until a timed event happens?


"passes appear on your Lock screen at the appropriate time and place — like when you reach the airport or walk into the store"

It will look different when you add passes/tickets from within the apps that support PassBook.

That will happen after you have added the passes.
