## What is PassKit PassReader?

PassKit Pass Reader is the official scanning and validation app for PassKit-powered loyalty programmes, events and campaigns. Built for frontline staff, kiosk operators and event teams who need fast, reliable pass management in the field.

Scan Any Pass Instantly

Point the camera at any supported barcode and get an instant result. Supports QR codes, Code 128, PDF417 and Aztec — covering virtually all digital pass barcode formats in use today.

Batch Scan Mode

Running a high-volume event or a busy retail shift? Switch to Batch Scan and process multiple passes in a single session without stopping between scans. Configure scan behaviour per pass type, review your session summary when done, and pick up right where you left off.

Member Management

Pull up a full member profile the moment you scan their card. Check them in or out, adjust points balances on the spot, and review their full activity history — all from one screen.

Coupon & Ticket Validation

Scan a coupon to verify its status, redeem it with a single tap, or update the expiry date if needed. Validate event tickets and confirm entry in seconds.

In-App & Push Notifications

Stay informed without leaving the app. Receive real-time alerts for scan milestones, completed batch sessions, app releases and security events — delivered in-app and via push notification.

Secure by Default

Log in with your fingerprint or face unlock for fast, secure access. All credentials are stored securely on-device. Offline detection alerts you immediately if connectivity drops, with a retry prompt when you're back online.

Personalise Your Experience

Choose between Light, Dark or System theme. The app adapts to your device preference automatically.

### 2/5 — Missing a REALLY key feature

*2024-06-20, version 4.11*

The idea is great and seems to work well but the app is missing a major feature, the ability to see a dashboard/list of ‘checked in’ people. The checkins can only be seen at user level, which is useless if you want to see how many scans you’ve made or people that are checked in the building.

Happy to adjust this review to 5 stars if they update the app with this simple and ridiculous oversight of a missing key feature.

### 5/5 — Easiest way to scan membership cards, coupons and tickets

*2023-07-17, version 4.6*

Super easy to use. I just login using my PassKit username and password and I can scan any kind of pass. No integration with my point of sale required.  And I can check in members, as well as give them points and redeem coupons. Very simple to use and really helps me give a better experience to my loyalty card holders.

### 1/5 — Pass on Passkit

*2023-03-13*

I attempted to use Passkit and Passkit Reader, which ended up eating three months of attempting to work w them and paying $100 for an Apple Developer certificate. Unless you book out over a week, they’ll offer you customer service help only at 11:00 PM and then not turn their camera on and make you wait 20 minutes while they pretend the volume isn’t working. But you only get one 1/2 hr session free, which does nothing to help you. Want to make a birthday coupon and can’t figure out how bc they’re backend is so not user friendly? Well, just make a birthday coupon. Um yeah. That was their solution. Danny admitted that more resources were needed to give direction to someone who didn’t work there. Attempt to get another service call? That’ll be $200 an hour. An hour. Want anymore email help? They’ll argue about how long you should wait for that (not the published average wait time) but they won’t actually help. Mind you, this is after I onboarded clients. Save yourself the trouble and pass on Passkit.
