fixed : Stocard stops… what’s the best alternative ?

Question :
I have been using the great Stocard app for years now. It keeps all my loyalty and membership cards that Apple Wallet can’t handle nice and easily organized on my iPhone. But even though Klarna promised not to change the app when it took over Stocard a few years ago… they’ve changed their mind : they will stop the Stocard.app and are pushing me into moving everything into the Klarna.app – which is something I don’t want because that’s all about purchasing and payment…
They keep bugging me with the “Stocard is moving to the Klarna app” warning…

It there any good ( and FREE ) alternative for the Stocard.app ?


Answer :
Yes, there is.
The SuperCards.app is very similar to the Stocard.app, and it even has an ‘import/transfer cards from other app’ option that is mainly targeted towards former Stocard users.

You can download the SuperCards.app from the Appstore here. And it will also install the SuperCards.app for your AppleWatch (if you have one).

Just make sure you set up the Supercards.app before you delete the Stocard.app – just follow the instructions and you’re good to go.

enjoy !

UPDATE :

  1. Hey,

    Love the post. I also don’t want you to miss out on an app I’ve developed as an alternative to Stocard called Clique Rewards. It has the same UI widgets as Stocard to store and use loyalty cards from your favourite brands.

    Would love to get your opinion. Thank you 🙂

  2. I would also recommend using mobile-pocket for your loyalty cards. Ive found that it is the easiest to setup and has all necessary cards.

  3. Hi MacManus and everyone else who found this through Google (like so many MacManus articles!),Different approach worth adding: instead of another app, you can convert barcodes into native Apple Wallet passes at wallewallet.alen.ro — free, no app install, no account. 38K passes created so far, #5 on Product Hunt.Downside: no bulk import from Stocard. Upside: cards live in Wallet with double-tap access, no third-party app needed.

    • @alen3000 :

      Thank you for your alternative solution.

      To anyone else : alen3000 himself (herself ?) is the maker of the barcode service availeble at wallewallet.alen.ro so it’s the creator promoting his/her own creation…
      WARNING : MacManus.nl likes the concept, but we have NOT tested it, so any use of alen3000’s wallewallet service is at your own risk !

      • up, fair catch, I should’ve been upfront about that. Not entirely shameless though, 78K passes created suggest it’s useful to some people. Also appreciate the soft validation.
