User Reviews

PassAndroid Passbook viewer is praised for effectively handling .pkpass files offline, supporting PDFs/JPGs, and being privacy-friendly with minimal permissions. Users appreciate its simplicity and widget feature for quick access. However, it suffers from lack of updates, difficulty deleting tickets, inability to properly display multi-page PDFs, and poor file organization without descriptions or sorting. The UI is considered outdated and occasionally problematic in dark mode. Overall, it's a useful app for managing passes but needs improvements in usability and maintenance.

Pros

Allows adding and viewing .pkpass files effectively, serving as a good alternative to Google Wallet and similar apps.
Stores passes offline for quick access without needing to download from the cloud each time.
Supports various file types including PDF and JPG, useful for tickets, IDs, and membership cards.
Simple and intuitive to use, with some convenient features like automatic night mode and widgets for quick ticket access.
Privacy friendly, requesting minimal permissions compared to other similar apps.

Cons

App has not been updated for many years, leading to outdated features and lack of improvements.
No easy way to delete tickets; deletion process is confusing and tickets may reappear if found on the device.
Limited functionality with multi-page PDF files; only the first page is shown, making it difficult to use for multiple boarding passes.
Poor file management: no support for adding descriptions or tags and issues with sorting tickets meaningfully.
User interface looks outdated and lacks polish; some theme issues occur, e.g., dark mode menu visibility problems.

Recent reviews

This is a great app. It has the function of adding your own ticket, creating a pass from your barcode, whichbI have been unable to find elsewhere. It's great! Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated for 6 years. And the backup feature was never implemented.

I use it to have copies of PP, id-card & driver's license and whatever number of tickets in an organised and easily accesible list. The ticket just in use I have as a widget on my intro screen - fast & easy to find when in the line.
