Changelog
What's new
The latest features, improvements and fixes. Updates roll out on the App Store and Google Play.
-
- Widgets: a new setting decides where a tap takes you. Straight to the card, as before, or simply into ShowCards. Your existing widgets keep opening the card.
-
- New: For merchants. Run a shop yourself? Settings now shows how to hand out your own loyalty card through ShowCards.
- Widgets: the barcode stayed blank when your app icons were set to Tinted or Clear. It is back, and the card keeps its own colour there too.
- Widgets: the thin grey line under the barcode is gone.
-
- Gave a card your own picture? It now shows on your home screen widgets and on your watch too, instead of the two letters it fell back on.
- The brand catalogue now holds over 5,500 store logos.
-
- Reinstalled the app? Your wallet now tells you your cards are on their way back from iCloud, instead of looking empty while they arrive.
- Open a card inside a folder and the dots at the bottom do something: tap one to jump straight to that card, or slide along them to move through the folder.
- The brand catalogue now holds over 5,500 store logos.
-
- A short introduction when you first open the app, with clips that show how to add a card. Find it again under the question mark above your cards.
- Instruction videos in the Knowledge center, with the articles they belong to, subtitled in your own language (the spoken word is English).
- Missing a shop in the brand list? While you search there is now a line to have it added.
- Fixed: updating the brand list sometimes flashed its confirmation past without anything happening.
-
- Swiping from card to card inside a folder is smooth now: the app no longer stops to think halfway through.
- A folder can be a favourite of its own, so the one you reach for every week stays at the top.
-
- Put cards that belong together in a group. It sits among your cards as a folder, with the number on its tab.
- One brand in the group and the folder takes that logo and colour. A mixed group shows small logos of what is inside.
- Tap a group to see the cards in it, then swipe straight on from one card to the next.
- Search finds your cards inside a group too.
- Ungroup and every card stays where it was: only the folder goes.
-
- Made your own card for a shop that is in the catalogue now? Link it to the brand and it takes on the right logo and colour.
- Photograph a card with the camera and crop it to the card, instead of only picking a picture you already had.
- Moving to another phone? Copy the transfer link, right beside the QR code.
- Card photos are kept at the size they were meant to be, so your wallet takes up far less room.
-
- Suggest a missing brand and we write back in your own language as soon as it is in the catalogue.
-
- Fixed: opening a card turns the screen to full brightness again, and it stays on while the card is up.
-
- A new widget with your whole wallet: one card at a time with arrows, instead of one widget per card.
- On your watch: a bigger barcode, tap it to turn it towards the scanner, and the card number under it if you want.
- QR codes in widgets are no longer stretched.
- Leave the number off your pass in Wallet so the barcode gets the space.
- A large wallet now reaches the watch in full, however many cards it holds.
- The brand catalogue now holds over 5,400 store logos.
-
- Over 4,700 stores in the catalogue, more than a thousand of them new.
- Thousands of logos redrawn: they now fill the card instead of sitting small in the middle.
- Update the catalogue yourself in Settings, under Brands, and see what it will download first.
- A corrected store colour now reaches the cards you already have.
- Pick the barcode type yourself when adding or editing a card.
- Report a bug straight from Settings.
-
- Scan a loyalty card and ShowCards fills in the barcode and the store for you. Wrong store? Change it in one tap.
- Option to add scanned cards to your wallet automatically.
- Now reads flat barcodes without guard bars, like the Albert Heijn Bonuskaart, from photos and screenshots.
- Contact support, request a feature or suggest a store, all from Settings.
- Clearer Settings, a new licences screen, and polish throughout.
-
- Cards now open with a smoother animation from the wallet
- See your wallet as tiles or as a list
- Resize the cards, from one large card to five in a row
- Fixed: the screen brightness boost could stay on after closing a card, and stepped instead of fading
