So practical.

Works well. I even scan directly from my computer screen. No paper. I show my ticket from my Apple watch!

VIA finally does it for free on their app

This app was great when VIA didn't offer Passbook tickets, but now that there is a VIA app, this app is no longer necessary. Especially not at $11.99!! There's no reason to buy this app anymore.
