So I have seen other posts about this but just wanted something simpler to reference to. How many of you guys use the Passbook app? More specifically, who keeps the location services on with passbook to get the full use out of it?
For me, I use it for my Frys food V.I.P. Card and it's nice that it automatically pops up on my lock screen when I arrive at the local Frys by my house. Only concern I have...does it use up too much battery? not sure but it's nice to use.

I've never used it. I honestly think things like this are a bit of a fad at the moment. Until the world settles on one type of standard, there will be far too many different apps, ways and methods to actually be useful.

If the Tim Horton's app had passbook integration I would be using the passbook app a lot more but right now I don't even use it.

I started to use it and then I realized about the only common use for it I would have is for my Starbucks card. Since it's just that, I would rather just open the app.

I wish my insurance company used ID cards with it.... It's hidden in a folder with stocks, settings and weather

This is kinda what I think I'm going to do with my Frys card. I figure to have passbook locate all day so it knows when I'm near my local frys grocery store would is probably eating up battery life.

Used it twice for movies. Bought the ticket in fandango then opens up in passbook. At the movies they scan the on screen barcode and I'm in.

I use it regularly for Starbucks, Walgreens, and AAA and have also used it for boarding passes/tickets for Amtrak.

The Location feature makes it really convenient for Starbucks and Walgreens. They automatically show up on the Lock Screen if you have that enabled.
