Why no Passbook on iPad?

I've found it's actually become usable with iOS 7. It now pops up on the lock screen before I get to Starbucks.

I use Passbook on my iPhone fairly often, especially at Starbucks, and it's very convenient. I've also used it with Living Social vouchers (I wish Groupon supported it, too). While I can see the point about the iPad being too large for most people to use Passbook, I don't agree with preventing folks who want to use it do so, especially with the mini and the lighter Air.

The use of iPhone or iPad is a choice of The customer. Any given customer can choose to take it to the movies or the airport or Starbucks if he/she wishes. I travel a lot and sometimes I run out of battery in my iPhone. My iPad is always with me as well. The logical solution would be to pull out my iPad and open my travel pass in passbook from there and go straight to the gate. My dad has a blackberry and an IPad Mini which he takes everywhere. It's always in his work luggage, so why can't he have all the benefits of iOS?

As I said back in June, none of us here know why Apple chose not to include Passbook on iPads. You can comment to Apple via the feedback link I posted. There's no point in continuing the discussion here since again we're just fellow users.

Why not let the consumer decide... another case of Apple Gods know better than us (I need it because I ditch iphone in Europe). this is a light footprint app that should be available where ever. Similar apps work on Nexus/android tablets which use the same file protocols. this isn't an Apple only thing, just a Big Brother thing.

When I am already reading my iPad while waiting to board a flight or waiting in line at Starbucks, and then it's my turn to board the plane or pay for my drink, respectively, having Passbook on the iPad means I don't have to switch to my iPhone - a second device, and initialize it.

The only reason I can think of is because the iPad is way bigger than a Itouch or iPhone. I am also disappointed. I hope the ios 8 update comes with it.

I hope the ios 8 update comes with it.

As has been mentioned several times in this thread, tell Apple via their feedback page.

Passbook is useful. I carry my airport boarding passes there and scan them instead of paper boarding passes. Amtrak tickets can be scanned there as well.

Well they should at least give us an option

maybe put the passbook app on the AppStore

Apple doesn't read these forums. All they do is police them to make sure posts follow the TOS of the forum. So posting your opinion here really doesn't matter much, in fact, as far as Apple is concerned, it doesn't even exist. If anyone wants to make their wish for passbook known, use that feedback link that's been given multiple times. Those responses are at least logged and tallied.

Since you responded directly to me, I will respond to you.

My comments were made months and months ago. Things and opinions change over the course of time. I personally still feel no different about using passbook on the iPad than I did way back when this discussion started. But now I have an iPhone, which I did not own when this discussion began. I do see the benefit of using Passbook. I have used it more than a few times on my phone, whoever, I still would not lug my iPad around simply for the benefit of using Passbook.

As my dearly departed mother used to say "to each his own".

Let your opinion be known where it might actually be heard. Send feedback to Apple as has been suggested at least 3 times already in this discussion.

I don't like constantly being told what people should and shouldn't discuss, and telling people to contact Apple rather than express an opinion here. I think most people understand that this forum is not a direct line to Apple, but they want to have a chat about a particular topic, for instance in case someone has a workaround. If people are talking about something not of interest to you, then why bother reading it?

For the record, I take my iPad almost everywhere, as I can't read and write well enough on my phone (which isn't an iPhone anyway, but a work phone). I don't know why this should bother people if it's my preference. I have a small shoulder bag that I take most places, that contains my keys and notebooks and headphones etc, and the iPad fits in there very nicely. I would definitely like to have Passbook on the iPad. I went to the cinema last night and would have liked to download the ticket to my iPad as I don't have a printer at home. Fortunately my neighbour was able to help, but it was a nuisance.
