I've had this app on my iPhone for quite some time. This app is awesome.

Posted by dreedy1 Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

That would be pretty handy!!!

This sounds like a pretty handy app.

Nice, I sent this tip in. Can't wait for the app!

Now this is an application that I look forward to. I don't carry certain cards on my keyring because I do not go to those stores often but when I do it would be nice to have the card to scan. With this application I can store the barcode without cluttering my keyring.

This sounds awesome. I can't wait!

Will this be a free application or a price associated to it?

 
 
Posted by LeanNSupreme Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Sounds interesting, gonna be keeping an eye on this.

this app looks very useful

I currently have 5 keyring cards and I would love to get rid of them.

Which Blackberry phones will this app work with?

 
 
Posted by oap81 Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

How much I doubt this will be free

A new top ten must have app for blackberry

 
 
Posted by tjsc Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

will this work with all my cards?

 
 
Posted by findthisfunny Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

The website says it's free. Can't wait to get in on my Storm!

All you really need to do is scan your card, or probably just take a picture of it with your BlackBerry, and show that picture to the scanner at your your retailer.

 
 
Posted by benswimming Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

No you enter the numbers and then it creates the barcode. Taking a picture most likely will not work.

 
 
Posted by awperk Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

The CardStar website asks you to upload a picture of the barcode but an automatically generated one would be more accurate.

 
 
Posted by Jonneh Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Awesome! I'm excited for it :)

 
 
Posted by blueyestm Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

now this app would be useful..i actually could get by with just carrying the phone in my hand and my ID and CC in my pocket then. I'm not one of those girls who carry purses and even carrying a wallet irks me.

 
 
Posted by pkcable Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

It's not a matter of want I NEED this app!

 
 
Posted by Mark_Venture Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Can't wait!

 
 
Posted by hbalagh Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Can't wait to get it

 
 
Posted by jlw0211 Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

I am going to get this app when it comes out, hope its free like on iPhone.

 
 
Posted by awperk Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

I was just searching for an app like this earlier in the morning because i saw an announcement for one for the iPhone today. It's nothing super exciting but i can definitely make use of it.

 
 
Posted by Wizzkidd09 Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

sounds dope, and the fandango app is doing this too with movie tickets just genius

 
 
Posted by dkonigs Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

But what about all those places that don't have fancy barcode/magstripe cards? You know, the paper ones that get stamped each time you come in. You know, about 75% of the thickness of my wallet.

Don't get me wrong... I'm very much looking forward to this, but I suspect it may not be as useful as I'd hope.

 
 
Posted by eklisiewicz Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Wish there was a beta.

I want it now! haha... not a month and a half from now.

I am beta-testing an app called ScanNSave that stores images of your keyring cards on your media card. Take a pic of the card through the app and it is viewable in gallery or list form. And yes, the images are completely scan-able. They actually work in real life. It's very simple right now, but it's free, it's not limited by a specific database, it doesn't farm your account info out to yet ANOTHER 3rd party, and it works!

Hello fellow crackberrians,

I am all for this new application and am looking forward to the days that we can eliminate more clutter from our keychains and wallets.

I am somewhat apprenhensive to rely on these apps because I do not like to let go of my blackberry to attendants. I am happy to hold onto the bb as the attendant scans the screen.

I noticed this first when I sent my boarding pass to my bb email and when required to scan the barcode on the screen, the attendant pulled at my bb and I would not let go of it. She asked me to let go so she could scan the screen and I said to bring the scanner to me. Needless to say, that caused some looks over in my direction at an airport no less. She took it lightly and issued me a paper boarding pass so I would not have to take my bb out at the next gate.

If our society is to advance to go paperless and use our pda/bb more often, they should give us easier access to scanning devices.

Am I just being anal here? If yes, then who is responsible for the breakage if an attendant accidently drops your bb? What kind of inconvenience will you incur to have the bb replaced?...as you leave out of town....

 
 
Posted by shabazosu Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Haha, I don't think you're being anal because I feel the same way and would do the exact same thing, i.e., not give the employee my BlackBerry and hold it myself while they scan it. I definitely plan on trying out this app, but if more times than not I am 'forced' to give my BlackBerry to the employee to scan, then I will more than likely ditch the app.

Awesome

 
 
Posted by mjbesen310 Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

oh wow! how cool is this!! I want this app now!!

 
 
Posted by JazzL5 Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

I have some concerns based on their website info:
1)they suggest your phone should not have a screen protector - not good for us Storm owners
2)the scan will work better with a hand scanner - not available at a self-checkout aisle
3)you would have to hand your phone to the cashier to scan the barcode - could be tricky
4)phone screen needs to be clean, free of fingerprints smudges, etc - problematic for Storm owners again, with or without a screen protector

We'll see

I don't want to wait till May 1st! This would be so nice, I have at least 20 cards on my key chain!

 
 
Posted by ArizonaGuy Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Seriously - none of you have figured out how to do this already? If it isn't free, I'm not paying for an app that let's me do something I've been doing for nearly 2 years with little effort.

I've scanned all my membership cards and stored the images in a folder on my memory card. Open the image on screen and it's scanned perfectly at CVS, Fry's, Safeway and a few others.

So RIM needs a 99 cent category app because at best, all it will do is slightly consolidate what I already do for free.

 
 
Posted by ellegee Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

it's free.

 
 
Posted by stephyv1 Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Posted by Bison 77 Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

Can't wait for this one.. goodbye bulky keychain!

 
 
Posted by wcihlu Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

OMG I've been waiting for this FOREVER!!!

 
 
Posted by wcihlu Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

This better not be another Shazam.. A free iPhone app which we Blackberry users has to pay for. Cardstars site says Completely FREE and that better remain there May 1!
this is also prob gonna be a storm only app.. IMO making it for other devices would make the barcode too small

 
 
Posted by sharinlea Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

My tour screen is bigger than every single one of my membership cards. Thus, a barcode fits just fine.

 
 
Posted by dpizzo Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

This will be great for my Walgreen's, Petsmart, Borders, and Sundowner titty Bar membership cards.

 
 
Posted by LuckyBastad Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

I hope this is available for the BB 8900. This would greatly be appreciated.

 
 
Posted by sharinlea Wednesday, Mar 17, 2010 696 days ago

By putting pics of the code on your phone. If you can't get a good quality pic/scan of your current card, there are plenty of websites that will make your barcode for you if you type in the number.

No desire to take up more memory on my device rather than media card.

Who cares if you "have been doing this for 2 years already" or "this is a waste of space"...we don't want to hear about it. This app looks very cool and handy and it's just something that will be great for BB users everywhere. You don't have to prove to us how smart you are cause you have been doing this forever. No one cares that you do not like it. No need for your negative comments. Let us "non-haters" enjoy something fun for our BB's. Go scan some more barcodes or something.
