The Wallet
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every card. One pocket. The Wallet keeps your membership cards, keytags and IDs on your phone, so you can leave the plastic at home. Snap a card and itβs in: one photo saves the card face and reads its barcode. SMART CAPTURE β’ One photo does both: the card face and its barcode β’ Edges are found automatically, and the photo is straightened and cropped on your phone β’ Barcode on the back? Flip the card. The front stays as the card face β’ Auto, Card, Fob and ID modes β’ Warns you before you add the same card twice AT THE CHECKOUT β’ Big, clear barcodes on a white panel that scanners can read, even in dark mode β’ Screen brightness goes up while the code is showing β’ Supports Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, Codabar, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, ITF, QR, PDF417, Data Matrix and Aztec CARD FACES β’ Use the cardβs own photo, a colour picked from it, or generated art β’ Design keytags and fobs with orbs, stripes, foil or a monogram DOCUMENTS β’ Keep reference copies of driverβs licences, ID cards, health cards, passports and insurance β’ US and Canadian licences and IDs: the barcode on the back fills in the fields β’ Renewal reminders 60 and 30 days before a document expires β’ A reference copy is not a replacement. Carry the original when itβs required FIND IT FAST β’ Pinned cards up top, sorted by what you use most β’ Filter by Cards, IDs, Health or Other β’ Stack or grid view, plus search β’ iPad layout with a card grid and split view, and both sides of a document at once PRIVATE BY DESIGN β’ Everything is encrypted on your phone. There is no account and no cloud β’ Lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode β’ The app is blurred in the app switcher β’ Photos are re-encoded without location or other metadata before they are encrypted β’ Reminders never show numbers or names Membership card screens show a small banner ad. Document screens never do.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: HiSolar at monthly against The Wallet's every 10 months. HiSolar also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
