New Froogloid Mobile App ~ Key Ring
A few of you may have heard of a mythical product called “Key Ring”. We’ve mentioned it but have yet to provide substantial information about what it does, when it will be released, what it looks like etc. With that said, I hope to provide some additional information with this post and get your feedback. Would you use this product? What features do you want? Etc… Unfortunately, Key Ring isn’t ready for market quite yet, but the lead developer, Simmone Mago, is hard at work and we hope to release it sometime in the next couple of weeks.
First, an overview ~ What is Key Ring?
Leave those pesky club cards at home! With Key Ring you can create a digital copy of any club card by simply scanning its barcode or by manually entering the barcode number / membership ID. Key Ring currently provides logos for over 150 retailers. If your retailer isn’t listed, no worries just select “other” retailer from the drop down and manually enter its name. At the point of sale, simply launch the Key Ring application, select your saved card from the home screen and have the retail associate scan the barcode from the screen. Yes, you can scan a barcode from your screen. We’ve enhanced the Key Ring user interface to increase the scanning success rate. For best results, please use with handheld laser, CCD or image scanners. If possible, avoid using Key Ring with flatbed laser scanners.
Features:
+ Supports EAN13, EAN8, UPCA, UPCE, Code128, and Code39 one dimensional barcodes
+ Retailer logos automatically added to 150 plus retailers
+ Integrated barcode scanner
+ Supports adding non-barcode cards such as Hertz rental car, American Airlines etc
+ Manually add your own retailers
+ Enhanced user interface to aid with scanning from device screen
+ Stores unlimited cards
