Google Wallet vs Beer Buddy - Scanner & Ratings

Google has a partnership with Bancorp Bank that issues a Virtual Card to Google Wallet users that works as an intermediary between customer's card and merchant. It gives more choice in terms of compatible cards and works as a card fraud mitigation technique.

All verified unauthorized transactions reported within 120 days of the transaction are completely refunded.

In case a phone is lost or stolen no access to actual credit card information can be gained.

4-digit PIN that has to be entered before any transaction can take place adds secondary authentication and makes sure that nothing gets bought by accident.

Whether or not the user has a Rate Beer account, they have access to most of the features, including rating a beer or place.

Beer Buddy uses Rate Beer's vast database of beers and user ratings, so the user knows they're getting reviews from real people.

There's no need to install a bar code scanner app to use this feature. Scan a beer's bar code, and the beer's information is available.

This app keeps track of the users reviews, quick "ticks", favorites, tasted, "On tap" (wants), recently viewed, recently scanned, and notes.
