Nice Idea, execution needs improvement. Why can't I click a place form the list to show it on the map, or copy the address to the clipboard. Would be great to hook into Google Maps for directions etc. Also there doesn't seem to be a method of suggesting places. Add Sheldon Café it's great.

A good start but needs improvements. Firstly, if you don't have internet connectivity then you seemingly can't display the card. Not good when you are trying to pay. Secondly the information on each retailer is too brief. The website has much more verbose terms. At the very least it should link to the full terms at the IB website. As it is, some retailers lack enough detail on the offer terms or sometimes how to claim. A generous 4 stars given only because it is new.

Great app, simple to use and gives you easy access to all the information of what is available. The map is great to show you exactly where everywhere is. Only small addition I would want to see at this point is a link to the website of each company (edit - this has been added).

Looks good so far. It makes sense to get discounts and offers via an app like this as opposed to a physical card that you need to carry with you (and can easily be lost).

The first impression is fantastic, hopefully it will get better with time with more and more great deals. I'm always searching for places to eat in and around Birmingham and this, not only put all that in one place, but they're also giving me discounts. I hope more businesses join this... Thanks for making my life a little easier.

Great app but not clear how to link it up if you already have a card
