Looking forward to adding it to Apple wallet.
As an aside, does the Jenny number still work at most stores?

The only information sent to the card processor is the swipe (number expiration date) and sometimes the zip code and verification code on the back (if entered by hand).
When my wife worked retail (20+ years ago), she had to verify the name on the card with the name on the machine with the name on their ID. They caught a decent number where the machine had a different name pop up than the card showed. And WAY more when comparing both to their ID. They called her "The Bulldog" because of how vigilant she was about it. That store lead the region in CC Fraud. But soon they were the bott…

The same is true in a physical card wallet. An 80 year old with early onset challenges can work this wallet, pick a card, and then hold the phone to the reader at a store. It's all co-opting "familiar" actions for them, not tech-like, which means they can do it. The biggest UX issue Apple has for that persona isn't the wallet, it's the lack of physical home button. Everyone in their 70s and up seems to be given pause…
First; have you heard of a sharpie? Second; have you tried this with actual 80yr olds with early onset? Because I have. It doesn’t work, not even close. The steps require to get to that point are impossible for an 80yr old with early onset to even get close to. From trust, to setup, to even the stupid double-click with arthritic fingers, it’s fraught with roadblocks. And forget swiping. This is a massive problem. The…
Their experience is often utter shit.
Two examples:
1. Often older folks have their screen zoom maxed out for readability. Extreme zoom will often place critical fields and buttons off-screen - making the app useless.
2. Fingers and hands of older folks often tremble. So imagine holding in your trembling left hand your phone, while you're trying to hit a target with your trembling right finger. All while standing in line to get a discount on your groceries.

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've been using Pass4Wallet for the last few years to create Wallet entries for local clubs I'm apart of. It's actually better than native passes in some cases because you can add custom info to the entry, like a gate code. It's really flexible in terms of barcodes, QR codes, etc as well. Great app I'll probably continue using, I'm not confident Apple will allow the amount of customizability it allows.

> The same is true in a physical card wallet. Not at all. In my physical wallet, those identical looking cards have different names on them, ie. and for joint accounts. I can also mark them up with a marker, or request a different picture from some banks. In iOS I need to remember that the one ending with 0044 is mine, and 0073 is for our joint account. I have no way to add an alias or distinguish them otherwise. Thi…
Seeing ones own name on a physical card also doesn't say say which joint account it is, yours or your partners (my partner and I each have Bank X, and each have a card for the other, which only has our own name, so, I feel your pain).
But, there is a way!
1. Tap the card, then tap the card[123] icon upper right and "Enter physical card information".
2. Either scan the card or type it in. Add the CVV while you're at it, seeing this later requires an additional FaceID.
3. Add "Description" for "Mine" or "Joint" or whatever. (KEY STEP)
When asked if you want to replace the card with same number say yes. It'll stay the same card, same transaction histories, etc., but now have a distinguishing description.
The wallet app UI is the peak of Apple's 'single 20y/o in sf' design. Anyone that has multiple card from the same bank (because, say, you have a personal account and a shared account with your partner) has to do the "pick between the two identical looking top 20px of cards" dance every time they use Wallet to pay for something. It is mind-boggling that the current UI persists.
