What a relief. My awful workaround was photos of all my membership barcodes labeled with a sharpie so that I can search "Gym" or "Library" or whatever to pull them up from OCR indexing.
I usually just put things like that in an album

#32IMO one of the cool things about Wallet is the notification that appears on the homescreen when you're in proximity of the venue or time of the event and automatically displays the pass when tapped. I wonder if "create your own" will be able to do that (I'm not sure how it would)?

Just enter the location and time in question as part of creating the pass?

#34Been using Pass2U for this for years. Surely this was considered earlier within Apple. I wonder what changed that they decided to do this now.
Similarly I was using Pass4Wallet.

#35I’ve always felt like Wallet is mostly a solution in search of a problem, but maybe more adoption will help? I don’t really believe that places that require membership cards are going to let users start creating their own, though.

Pass2U Wallet works great, but like many apps, it really should just be a feature to begin with.
You can also make passes for other people and send them / share them.
Looks like someone else recommended a competitor Pass4 Wallet as well, may need to go compare.

I use Pass2U Wallet and set a location, if I end up at near Children's Museum or Community Center, my ID is ready.

I think Wallet might be the most used feature for many on the iPhone, especially if they pay with their phone. What makes you think it's looking for a problem to solve? I think Wallet is great and the adoption in certain areas like boarding passes is almost 100% and it beats digging through email to find some pdf and zooming in on some QR code when you have to present it (Hoping that your screen doesn't rotate in the…
Agreed. I use it basically every day. It's almost disquieting how quickly Apple inserted itself into payments, but it's frankly safer than a credit card and the NFC(?) works much better.

#39This is just parity with google wallet, right? AFAICT my library card in google wallet is just a generic card/pass type.

#40Pretty useful. I wish more places would allow this. My zoo membership makes you install their app just to enter.
