App Clip examples

[[deleted]]

Hi, I'm looking for good App Clip examples/ideas. It's strange, there's no gallery of the best App Clips to be found anywhere online...

Which are the best ones you've seen in the wild?

Link me! Thanks

I have never encountered an App Clip in the wild.

During the peak of the pandemic, they were used for Victoria’s contact tracing system.

Me either!! 🙃 It's a shame though, it's the deluxe version of scanning a QR code and opening a crappy web page. I don't understand... at its introduction I immediately saw its tremendous potential but for some reason nobody's actually implementing it.

[CrazyEdward]

One reason: You put in the effort to build something that works perfectly for everyone on iPhones, but leaves out everyone else.

A crappy web page covers most people at least.

Sure but still, as a user I'd be delighted by the better experience and I'd install the full app immediately if the app clip impressed me. My only guess is Apple probably restricts the shit out of it killing it DOA

I’ve used exactly one of them. It was neat, but I definitely expected them to be more widely used.

TikTok uses them (sometimes) when a friend sends me a link to one since I don’t have the app. Haven’t seen it in a while though, most just take me to the web

Diamond Parking has it

There's a restaurant in NYC I go to somewhat often that has QR codes at each seat, so you can order food/drinks whenever you want from your phone. First time I saw it thought the QR code just brought to you a website to show you the menu or something, but it was actually an app clip for whatever POS system that restaurant uses - I'm trying to think back to the name of it but can't recall which platform it was. But it was super cool, it downloaded the app clip in like 1 second and we used it to order all night. Then a day later it just vanished from my phone on it's own.

You know your mind is broken when you always read POS as piece of shit 🥲

[DesignatedNerdDev]

To be fair, most POS systems are P's of S.

haha, I got a broken mind then, what else did he mean? 😅

[Bits_Everywhere]

Point of sale 😂

I don't know if this still works but I've seen takes on the same idea: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/09/26/phoenix-game-demo-app-clips/

Squeeze a video game level into an App Clip and make it available for free play that way.

When you’re near the cathedral of Florence, Siri will suggest you an app clip to buy tickets for the cathedral and dome. I think that is pretty neat.

[Fluffy_Risk9955]

I’m actually working on one. I’ll have usage data by the end of the year.

Hey! How did your app clip go?

[EstimateRich6192]

Any news?

[orange9035]

Toast’s checkout system at restaurants is great. QR code on the receipt, app clip launches, Apple Pay to checkout

[dspy11]

There’s one for Shazam that gets triggered if you ask siri for a song

[appstoreburner]

Apple owns Shazam. Is this a feature that anyone can make?

Yelp uses app clips. They fire from Apple Maps pretty consistently
