Kep Ring App by Mobestream Media

I love, love, LOVE this app!!!  First, I have to give credit to my other half for discovering this little gem on iTunes.  If you are like me then you have about a thousand discount or reward points membership cards for every store in creation.  I have Borders, Best Buy, the local grocery stores, clothing stores, Staples, and the list goes on and on.  I was happy when companies switched from cards to the little keyring cards.  However, now my keys are so bulky with all these ‘convenient’ little cards, which are nothing more than a collection of bar codes.  I am here to tell you that you can throw away those little cards.  Mobestream Media is here to the rescue!!!

Key Ring is a free app available for Android or iPhone.  Honestly, its about the simplest program I have ever used.  Once you download the app, simply hit ‘Add Card’.  If your card has a bar code, the program will use your phone’s camera to scan the barcode. 

Once that is complete, you will be able to select from over 650 retailers or add your own to assign to the barcode.

Completed Entry

You even have the ability to add cards without barcodes.  For example:  I added my membership number for National Rental Card.  I just typed it in, and selected National. 

The final piece that makes this just that much more useful is that your information can be recovered if you lose your phone or it dies.  When you create an account for yourself CardGuard is activated and you can then download your information onto any Android phone or the iPhone. 

Go check this out.  I can’t tell you how much its helped to organize me.  Plus, my keyring is much slimmer.
