If you're an Android user looking to use Apple Passbook, you're in luck because there's a way to make it work. Apple Passbook is a digital wallet that allows you to store and manage your loyalty cards, tickets, and other passes.
The first thing you need to do is download the Google Wallet app, which is compatible with Apple Passbook. This will give you access to a wide range of digital passes, including movie tickets, concert tickets, and loyalty cards.
Unfortunately, not all Android devices are compatible with Apple Passbook, so you'll need to check your device's specifications to see if it's supported. Apple Passbook only works with devices running Android 4.0 or higher.
Apple Passbook on Android
PassWallet is an app that allows you to access Apple Passbook passes on your Android device.
Qantas and Virgin Australia are just two airlines that support Apple Passbook for mobile boarding passes, but what if you're an Android user? PassWallet is the answer.
You can use PassWallet to save your mobile boarding pass after completing check-in on your Android phone for a domestic flight with Qantas, Virgin Australia, or other airlines that have adopted Passbook.
The app can also send your boarding pass to a Dropbox account so you can access it on different devices.
PassWallet is available for free on the Google Play store, with an ad-free version available for just $1.29.
To get your boarding pass into PassWallet, you'll need to complete check-in online via your mobile browser, but you'll need to use an iPhone user-agent to be recognized as an iPhone and thus 'Passbook capable'.
Attido Mobile's PassWallet app has been updated to allow beaming and redeeming of Apple Passbook compatible passes via NFC on Android devices.
This means you can beam your passes to another Android device with NFC capabilities and have them validated and redeemed with the CodeReadr app.
PassWallet was developed to allow Android and BlackBerry users access to Apple Passbook passes, and now it can also beam NFC passes via NFC.
