I said removing Maps is awful. Anyone who disagrees is purposely putting on the blinders. And iOS 6 isn't much of an update. The only thing that's cool to me is putting Siri on my iPad. That's... about it.
Eesh there is a stinkin ton of hate going on. Is it really that bad? The maps looked absolutely epic and as long as I can pinpoint my location and search just a name of a business or be vague like specify category and come up with the nearest location to my location then I'm super happy.
Is Passbook working for anyone?
Am I missing something with this Passbook app? All I can do is click on a button labeled "App Store" that errors out as soon as it hits the store.
Goddamn this map blows.
Help me Google, you're my only hope!
Has anyone been able to access the App Store via Passbook?
Can someone explain more details on Passbook to me?
- Does the store location need anything special to use it? Or will some stores just give blank stares when you try to use it?
- Does the company need an app to use it?
- Can you add anything to it or does it need to be supported by the companies?
- If you can't add anything you want, who currently supports it?

- Does the company need an app to use it? I don't think so, I'm pretty sure you can add things to Passbook via email.
- Can you add anything to it or does it need to be supported by the companies? It has to be supported by the company as far as I know.
- If you can't add anything you want, who currently supports it? Supposedly Delta, Starbucks and Fandango. Although I'm probably missing a few.

You don't need an app, and can add things yourself--somebody put a picture of a coupon or something and used it.Can someone explain more details on Passbook to me?

My comments in bold.
Some stores are equipped with scanners that can scan phone screens (like Starbucks, for example). For others that can't, the card number would be on the Passbook card information and they can enter it manually.
It's pretty much an enhanced version of CardStar or Key Ring.
Why would you say that. All those updates would seem to make it NOT suck now.Not sure what they mean by keeping subscriptions up to date with iCloud, but it's probably still terrible.
Doesn't the fact that a company has to support it make it sort of limited? It may lighten the load of your wallet and keychain if you line up with the right companies, or it might not at all. Also I saw there was coupon support; how does that work? Aren't coupons supposed to be turned over?

Hm, I live in NYC and live on public transport directions. Any other NYC'ers not upgrading because of this? Or is there a workaround?
Okay, just launched maps and immediately did a search on "Pizza" as someone suggested and got a bunch of suggestions near my location. I thought this wasn't suppose to work in Maps? Works great here.
It'll definitely be limited at first but hopefully that'll change over time. As for coupons, I'm pretty sure most coupons now are just scanned and thrown away. So you can just delete it from passbook after you use it.
Whenever I've used coupons in the past, they want them. They never allow me to keep them. So I'm not sure how this would fly exactly.
It's not out for iPad.Safari on IPad seems faster. Is there a YouTube app on App Store? Can't find it

I imagine that if a store/company can figure out how to distribute coupons via Passbook they'll also find away to make sure that the coupon becomes useless after its first use.

It pulls data off Yelp as opposed to Google Places (or whatever it's called). The databases aren't exactly equal at the moment.

So then it's no good for coupons you get in the mail or paper then?
Also how do you do full screen on safari? Apps that don't have a settings menu are so goddamn stupid... Using iPad
Seems that was updated at some point during the beta updates.Okay, just launched maps and immediately did a search on "Pizza" as someone suggested and got a bunch of suggestions near my location. I thought this wasn't suppose to work in Maps? Works great here.
Oh, I didn't realize you meant actual physical coupons. In that case I think you're right as there's no way to transfer physical coupons into Passbook coupons as far as I know.

More results is great, I hope the Yelp database improves greatly due to update.
