## What is MakePass?

With MakePass, you can customize Apple Wallet like never before: create and personalize passes with AI-driven design, advanced editing tools, smart barcode importing, date and location awareness, and much more.

Core Features:
• AI-Powered Design: With MakePass AI, transform photos of cards or tickets into beautifully designed Apple Wallet passes. Our technology intelligently extracts relevant text and information to define the pass structure and content.
• Versatile Pass Creation: Start from scratch, open saved files, or import barcodes from various formats including images, PDFs, or directly via camera.
• Extensive Customization: Personalize your passes to the finest detail. Choose from event tickets, boarding passes, store cards, and more. Customize with unique icons, logos, colors, and text to make each pass uniquely yours.

Advanced Capabilities:
• Barcode Flexibility: Import or define barcodes in formats like QR, AZTEC, PDF417, and Code 128. Convert unsupported barcodes or embed them as images in your pass.
• Location & Time Awareness: Set relevant dates and locations for your passes, enabling them to appear on your lock screen precisely when needed.
• Shortcut Integration: Leverage the power of iOS Shortcuts for automating pass creation and customization, enhancing your productivity.

MakePass Subscriptions:
• MakePass Pro: Unlock features like pass barcodes, pass images, and pass relevancy.
• MakePass Ultra: Get everything in MakePass Pro, plus MakePass AI, Shortcuts support, and Family Sharing.

MakePass supports macOS, iOS and iPadOS.

Notes:
• On iPadOS, as Apple Wallet is not available, MakePass will allow you to preview the pass and share or save the generated pass as a file instead of adding it to Wallet.
• Barcodes with Code 128 format are not shown by Apple Wallet on the Apple Watch.
• Barcode formats that Apple Wallet does not support but MakePass can embed as pass images include Code 39, Code 93, EAN8, EAN13, UPCE and Codabar.
• The organization name and icon image will be visible on the relevant pass notifications that appear on the lock screen.
• Background, strip and thumbnail images are not supported on all pass types. Note that background images are automatically blurred by Apple Wallet and that some passes, while supporting multiple image types, cannot include all types at the same time.

Privacy by Design: MakePass works completely on-device and does not store or send any information outside of the protected app sandbox, except for explicit user requests to use MakePass AI which requires sending the text extracted from the images or the user pass description for processing.

### 5/5 — Best WalletMaker (digitalized my life)

*2026-08-19*

I am using this App from the very far beginning. 
This is the best App I ever used, as this helped me to digitalize my whole Life. All Kind of cards are in this wallet and I did Not use my physical wallet for Years (except HealthCard for doctors, in Germany You have to present it physically each time).

Works on device (except AI), so Full private and Secure. 

Thanks Pedro for this Perfect App and your Support!

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the feedback, but unfortunately, Apple does not allow third-party apps to generate passes using the Digital ID layout.

UPDATE: The layouts are defined by Apple, so I don’t think so, but please email me at app-support@pvieito.com, and I can send you an ID-style pass template using the Generic pass type and a thumbnail image.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-05, version 5.3.1*

This app is great, very easy to use and great results too.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-05-22*

Ai editor is a scam, doesn’t even get correct colours or positioning.

### 5/5 — Best WalletMaker & Feature-Request (More Space for photos in the bottom area)

*2026-05-09*

Update 08.05.26:
Pedro, thanks for your reply. Understood that Digital ID is not possible to use. Ok. :-)
Idea:
Would it be instead possible to use more space for a photo?
At present in the top area, the space is too small. 
So is There A way to use the  Full area at the bottom for a bigger Image? 
This would be Amazing!
Even if a photo of a passport or driver license isn‘t officially supported in the EU, it would still help as a Backup in emergency cases. 
This would be the killer Feature!

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the feedback, but unfortunately, Apple does not allow third-party apps to generate passes using the Digital ID layout.

UPDATE: The layouts are defined by Apple, so I don’t think so, but please email me at app-support@pvieito.com, and I can send you an ID-style pass template using the Generic pass type and a thumbnail image.

### 1/5 — Cuidado no ofrece info completa

*2026-04-02, version 5.3*

Compre la suscripción para hacer un pkpass a partir de un pdf y me dijo que yo habia comprado la versión PRO, que para hacer lo que yo queria se podía hacer solamente con la versión ULTRA, logicamente mas cara

### 2/5 — Not really worth it

*2026-01-29*

It’s kinda expensive for what it is.  Maybe he doesn’t want the support issues, but this app is very expensive for its utility compared with other apps.  Unless you really need it, give it a pass.

### 1/5 — De gratis nada

*2025-12-31, version 5.2*

He sido incapaz de hacer nada sin pagar.

### 1/5 — Can’t even preview without paying

*2025-12-08, version 5.2*

Sucks you can’t see a result before paying $10. Also no solution for UPC-A store cards. Even an image of the upc shown would work for supermarket type scanners.

### 1/5 — The Developers are Thieves

*2025-12-08*

I don’t have a problem with software subscriptions, but I have a problem with changing terms after the fact. The developers of this app took away many essential features, such as making passes with barcodes, from people who bought the app outright before instituting a subscription policy. All of a sudden they want money to continue using an app that was bought in full. I have no respect for them.

**Developer response:** Hi! If you already had purchased MakePass before the introduction of the subscription model, you should have been granted most of the Ultra features for free automatically. Make sure to use the same exact Apple Account you used for the initial purchase to redownload the app.

Let me know if you have any issues at app-support@pvieito.com.

### 2/5 — Confusing GUI

*2025-11-19*

Not free. Must subscribe. User interface is confusing, far from intuitive. Pass4Wallet appears a lot more intuitive.
