★★★★★ "Import from Klarna?. One of the images on this app's App Store listing says "Easy import from Stocard, Klarna and more." Define "easy", because I can't find a way to do it. Oh, all right, now I've consulted the help and found that you have to take a screenshot…" - plaintiger

Complete Scam
Don’t waste your time with this. I read about it in Stuff Magazine who said it was free. The app locks and requires payment after you’ve loaded 3 cards. I’ll let Stuff Magazine know as well.
FALSE ADVERTISING
Image for app says “store all your cards!!” It does not allow you to store more than 3 without paying. It also removes any cards you’ve exported to Apple wallet if you remove from app or remove their app. USELESS!!
Doesnt work
It cant convert a photo of an insurance card to a card, this seems worthless.
Only 3 Cards
Misleading, can only add 3 cards before requiring the paid version.
Garbage click bait
I was sad when Stocard closed and I’ve been debating for a new loyalty card app. Upon browsing I settled for this app and it’s a paid app. Delete asap.
Importing from photos hangs
Importing from photos frequently hangs and after a couple minutes of waiting I kill the app and try again and it woks. But only for 1 photo at a time. Haven't gotten multiple photos to work at all.
Full bars of 5G+ so its not a coverage issue.

Costs too much
Only allowed 3 free cards
Useless - Can only add 3 cards
For the free version you can only add 3 cards. This makes the app totally useless and this is not mentioned anywhere. All I want is a place to keep all my loyalty barcodes and not have to carry them around. I don’t want access to Apple wallet or my Apple Watch which should be extra. Why isn’t there a basic version to do this?
Import from Klarna?
One of the images on this app's App Store listing says "Easy import from Stocard, Klarna and more." Define "easy", because I can't find a way to do it.
Oh, all right, now I've consulted the help and found that you have to take a screenshot of each card in Klarna in order to import it into Barcodes. That's what you call "easy"?
I dunno. I've actually gone ahead and paid for the unlimited version so I could add more cards. But now that I've gone through the arduous process of adding more cards (it's not easy unless you have the physical card), I don't understand why I would use this app over Apple Wallet. Might be time to ask the App Store for a refund.

Basic storage is perfect
Keyboard bocks scanning and some cards require manual input but otherwise, clean and simple. My rating may change after I find out what the « in app purchases are ».
Review updated, I found out what the in app purchases are. $1.99 a month? No thank you.
