(#11599140)
An ID/Medical/Etc card scanning/viewing mobile app. Something that will nicely scan my wallet cards and allow me to easily bring the scans up and (if needed) email/print/photocopy the images of them on demand.
Bonus points for:
- Search capabilities (requires OCR, or at least manual tagging)
- Geolocation (if I'm at a doctor's office, bring my medical card to the front).
- Security - Encrypt the images in memory and require a PIN to unlock.
- Bright mode for barcode scanning/photocopying (which overlaps with other apps like Passbook, Wallet, etc, but they don't support non-shopping cards).
