Just a quick update — the Windows Store has an updated version of eWallet for Windows 8/RT that includes several fixes including: better drawing of graphics for the Surface Pro, ability to launch this version from a .wlt file, and some minor bug fixes. Thanks as always for your feedback and keep it coming!
Scott Hanselman has put together a new video you might find useful if you’re new to Windows 8. It’s about 25 minutes but moves along pretty quickly — he also does a nice job of highlighting the differences between Windows 8 and Windows 7. If you’re looking for a condensed version, I’ve also included a link to an earlier video that’s about 3 minutes long.
And here’s a link to the short one, “How to use Windows 8 in 3 minutes“.
A new version of eWallet® for Windows 8/RT should be hitting the Windows Store today. This new version adds several new features including pinning cards to a category (shortcuts) or even the Windows start screen, hiding passwords by default (there’s now a reveal button), supporting Skype from a phone number in a card, and several other enhancements.
Probably the most visible feature in this release is pinning cards. This is really handy if you’d like one of your cards to show up in more than one category in eWallet. The pinned card acts like a shortcut to the actual card and makes your information available in more than one place without having to duplicate it. If you have a card you use a lot, you also have the option of pinning it right to the Windows start screen; when you start eWallet with that pinned tile, you’ll go right to your favorite card (after entering your password of course).
eWallet for Windows 8 and Windows RT is available exclusively in the Windows Store. Check it out if you get a chance, and as always, keep the feedback coming!
eWallet® is now available for Windows RT! What is Windows RT, you might ask? Windows RT is essentially Microsoft’s version of Windows 8 that runs on the ARM chipset. Microsoft’s first tablet, the Surface, is available initially as a Windows RT device.
eWallet for Windows 8 has been out since, well…, Windows 8 but until this week we didn’t have support for RT. The two platforms are combined into a single product and are available exclusively in the Windows Store.
We’ve added some other features recently too like a trial version so you can check out eWallet before buying it, and we’ve added some additional security options. Check it out if you get a chance, and as always, keep the feedback coming!
eWallet® 7.4.1 for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch is now in the App Store. This version quickly follows the 7.4 release to add support for the taller screen on the iPhone 5.
As always, please keep the great feedback coming!

eWallet® 7.4 for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch is now in the App Store! This version includes several user-requested features. You can now set the font size bigger in Flex View (back side of the cards) on iPhone for easier reading. On iPhone you can now swipe horizontally to move between cards for more direct browsing. (I prefer search myself to quickly get me to a card, but if you like browsing through your cards, I think you’ll really like this feature.) You can now copy/paste entire cards – very handy for entering information in different cards that is mostly similar. We also made search more responsive, especially for large wallets.
Smart Copy (remove spaces and hyphens from credit cards numbers) is a really handy feature when you’re pasting a credit card number in web site from your wallet. And on the iPhone, if you have more than 32 cards in a category, you’ll now see an index/fast scroll area automatically show up in the list of cards. Finally, we almost always take you to the password screen for your wallet now on iPhone when locking so you don’t have to pick your wallet file every time, and we added higher resolution card icons to the product as well.
As always, please keep the great feedback coming!
