Love my electronic Key Ring App

No more bulky keys! This app has been a favorite for more years than I can even recall. Share cards easily between household members, in town guests, and more. Load gift cards, loyalty id’s, and more. It probably has more tools than I use, but as soon as I get a card, membership ID, loyalty points card, gift card, etc. I scan it in and chop the card up (ok I keep gift cards for backup, but that is my paranoia). It is uber reliable, and does not require internet connectivity to function. Now if they would invent a closet and dresser app like this one, my life would be totally organized!

Was great. Now overgrown

I’ve used this app for years. It started out as a work around to Apple Wallet limitations. With Keychain I could load EVERY card. It wasn’t quite the same as being fully integrated into Apple Wallet but it did what Apple promised but didn’t deliver: replace having to carry around all the extra cards. So why not more stars? For some reason, Keychain decided to go from just being a card wallet to being a shopping app. There are now many, many more features I’ve no interest in. I don’t want junk mail equivalent flyers/catalogs, shopping lists, coupons, purchase history, etc from this app. I lead a pretty basic shopping life - far short of shop-mania or retail therapy. I rarely use coupons. The few I have used aren’t a problem for my pocket or even my actual wallet. What lists I need are more easily managed elsewhere, in apps dedicated to that purpose. Bottom line: This app had an identity change. I’ve stopped using KeyChain because it’s gone overboard, at least for my use case. All the excess may allow them to claim “frequent” updates but at what point do you become content to stay the best at what you are famed for? For me that was being a user friendly app that simply housed cards that Apple Wallet would’t accept. Period.

Key Chain - lighten your wallet!

Great app. New enhancement enables the user to sort a shopping list by “checked” items, thus making it easier for the shopper to ‘find’ the items already selected to buy on the list. Especially useful when your list of all items is long but the number of checked items is small. Should change the name of that sort sequence from”Custom” to “Checked Items.” One missing feature is a SEARCH capability to determine if an item in which one is interested in purchasing may already be on one’s list. One certainly does not want to create a duplicate of an existing item.

Very unhappy with update

I have used this app for over 10 years and have loved it. However, they have updated the app so you can no longer save generic cards where they can easily be labeled, you can no longer edit or update card numbers and you can no longer have duplicate cards (which I have duplicate cards such as gym membership cards for each person, but each card has a different number). And I can’t figure out how to delete unused cards. With the update, it merged my “duplicate cards” so I no longer know which id is for each person at the gym.
Please update the app back to what it used to be. Without fixing these issues, I will be looking for a different app solution - yes, it is that bad.

You now need to login to your account on the app

I’ve used KeyRing for years. Recently many of my cards went missing. I saw other reviews where people reported the same thing. I checked my account through a browser and saw all of my cards were still in my account. With no notice or prompting from the developers, I tried to login to my account through the app. Now all of my cards were back in the app. But WHY didn’t the developers notify users that you now have to login to fully use the app. That is very poor communication.

App use to be great

I’ve used this app for years and have been very pleased with it until the last update. Apparently they chose not to beta test the newest version, because it is horrible.
It deleted some of my cards, which I’ve used for years and no longer have the originals to scan and replace them.
You can no longer have two cards on the same store, which I did, because I often shopped for a friend and used his card when I did.
It seems almost impossible to delete a card and replace it with a new one, or the proper one.
In short, I will be looking for a new app to replace this one, unless they fix this new version.

Am I being punked?

Every update in the past year has progressively made this app worse. Sort these reviews by “Most recent” and you’ll see that it’s mostly 1 star reviews in the past 12 months. My guess is a new company bought it out. Customer Support used to be excellent and responsive now not only do they not fix any of the problems but they don’t reply to emails either like they used to.
In case there’s just one person left in Customer Support that actually cares about restoring this app to being functional
- the last update 3 days ago sorted all of the cards randomly, they’re no longer in alphabetical order and no way to re-sort them logically
-search function-if it finds 2 matches you can only open one of the cards
-MORE in the upper right corner of each card used to open a drop down menu with subitems of NOTES and DETAILS where you could add more info. Now MORE is dithered on about 95% of my cards with no access to the drop down menu
- I used to have multiple cards under 1 company name ie: my family’s frequent flyer numbers for an airline. They’re all gone except for one.

Tantamount to spyware and an ad farm

We have had this app for several years and, while never that visually appealing, it served us pretty well. Then they decided to include ads. UGH! Then they decided to track locations so they could serve you even more ads and push products for that location. DOUBLE UGH! Now it loads with a nonesense screen every time we open it so you have to jump through hoops just to see your reward cards. LAST STRAW!

I’m actively searching for a decent replacement. Plain and simple, we just want a ‘wallet’ for our reward cards and not click three screens to see them. While we are at it, we will look for one where it looks like some investments were made into the product so it is more visually appealing and the company opts to pay for those enhancements by a small (ONE TIME) fee versus ongoing ad harassments.

Bring back Fill-in Names

I have been using this app for years and, until recently found very little to complain about. While you may have designed it for shopping, I also use it for non-shopping cards like library, gym, road service etc. I formerly could easily name those cards and they would sit in alpha order. Now, every new card that’s not a store is called “Other retailer not listed” and sits at the top out of order, with the only the faint description line as a subtitle. What a totally unnecessary and irritating change!! Please return the flexibility of letting me name my own cards.

On a positive note, it appears that you have removed the irritating pop-up that made it harder to get to my cards unless I relinquished some privacy. Thank you for that.

Past its prime

Kind of useful, but having a standalone app with a few e-wallet-like functions while advertising to you, wanting to leverage your location, etc, is not that appealing. Clamping down on permissions helps.

Also just discovered an incorrect card number and there doesn’t appear to be an edit function. Having to delete the card and add it again is frustrating - and I suspect it was somewhere in the automated process of adding the card that it picked up a false leading digit.
