wished that all (most) merchants with key tags, etc., were ready on day #1...not the initial 7, or so
wished that you could scan in your key tag (like you can do with third party apps) |

On a one to one basis, it's not any better. However...and theoretically, if you have 30-40 gift cards, movie passes, concert tickets, subscribe to coupons from various stores, airline boarding passes and a whole lot of other stuff, it's a great convenience. But, if you don't have all this... or only have one or two gift cards, just stick them in your wallet and ignore Passbook. |

It shows up on the lock screen. To use the UA app, I have to unlock the phone, launch the app, click on mobile BP - all as I approach the TSA rentacop. With passbook I don't even have to unlock - just swipe across the BP and it's open. |
