A Solution for Crowded Key Rings

If you have a key ring that is full of those little affinity / rewards  membership cardlets used by many retailers now, and that bothers you, you might want to check out an App called "KeyRing".  This app allows you to create a catalog of all of those membership bar codes and numbers, and then you can use your smart phone at the check out counter and you always have those numbers and bar codes with you.
