What is it?This app is a viewer for passes - a pass could be a e.g. boarding-pass for your next flight, a coupon for a nice hot beverage on the destination, a movie ticket, a membership card - there are a lot of possibilities. Basically it is a replacement for a piece of paper or plastic you would normally have to carry with you - so lets save some trees and reduce waste!Also this app is Free-Software - Free not only as in "Free Beer" - but more as in Richard Stallmans Concept of Free and Open Software for a better World.How does it work?There are so called espass or pkpass files - you can open them with this app - e.g. when you receive them via email or get an Download-option. The most important content is the BarCode ( QR , AZTEC & PDF417which authorizes you most of the time - but it also has other interesting content like a description - often a time ( that you now can add to your calendar ) - often also locations ( to give you directions ) - just try It out!The app is offline usable once you downloaded the pass!HistoryI stumbled upon Passbook files when i received my ticket for the 29c3 - I liked the Idea - but there was no Android App which was working for me. I saw that the implementation is quite easy ( just a zip container with json and images ) - The first version was build very quick & was working for me ( got entry to 29C3 ) - In the following year I have not worked on this app much as I had no real use-cases but there where a lot of users downloading the app and I fixed processing of some passes that where send to me ( some passes contain really broken json .. )One year later - just before the 30C3 - I came to work a bit on this app again - for 2 reasons: - a friend of mine is very into this whole BTLE thing and location beacon / context aware thing could be interesting for Passbook - but nothing ready yet - I got a mail from a Luis Torrecilla - a very nice designer who did a great redesignThis all was leading to PassAndroid - a completely new version - with a new look and new functions ( sorting and adding to calendar alongside pull to refresh a navigation drawer and contextual ActionBar menu )Passes that workAir BerlinAir CanadaAir EuropaAegean AirlinesAustrian Airlines (http://www.austrian.com)Brussels AirlinesCzech AirlinesCathay PacificChaos Events (29c3 30c3 31c3 32c3 33c3 34c3)Cineworld in Middlesborough UKCinecitta in NurembergCineplex-KinosEmirates airlinesEventimEurowingsLufthansaGerman WingsIberiaSwissVirgin AustraliaVirgin Atlanticcleartrip ( tested with IRCTC - Indian Railway )Porter Airlines ( tested in North America ) TAM Airlines TUI-FlyNorwegian AirlinesLAN PeruQantasSaudi Arabian Airlines entrada cine ( entradas.com )Empire Theatres Ticketsowl ticket KinépolisUCI KinoweltKinepolis cinemas in Belgiumrenfechaos communication congresschaos communication campTAP (Portugal)Theatre Aurora (Аврора) on Nevsky (на Невском)Formula Kino Galeria (Формула кино Галерия)these are only some I know of - please drop me an email or post into the community about the ones you know that workMore info about espass: http://espass.itSource Code / Issuesboth on github:https://github.com/ligi/PassAndroid/LicenseGPLv3- Use latest libraries- Only show tabs when more than one tab- Multi-Line support for emptyviewThanks to Simon Tenbeitel for the nice contributions!

Great App! Would be nice if it was possible to select and copy ticket data items (e.g. PNR, ticket number, etc.) to clipboard.

Too clumsy. Difficulty with copying and storing pdfs

Trzz R

Does not save boarding passes

Stavros Hatzifotis

Does what it says.

Ashwin Pawar

This app worked with the one pkpass file I gave it. I like how the app is open-source and does not have advertisements.

Danny M

Only opens the first pdf page and ignores the rest

Phill Smith

nice, but only first page of pdfs are imported

Alexey Grubauer

A really good app

Ty Courtney

Good app for keeping various passes in hand. It can open pdf/jpg stored files (other apps can't), scan for pkpass files (haven't any at the moment). Would be nice to have a qr/barcode scanner also, and to get the pdf file in better resolution.

Nikos Fragkedakis

Small no-nonsense app, easy to use. I used it to store travel documents that came as pkpass files. The app is also available on F-Droid by the way. Minor niggle: when adding PDF files, the screen lumosity stop being maxed up as soon as you zoom on them.
