Badgey

What makes it different

Badgey turns your iPhone into a name badge. Clip the phone to a lanyard and turn it upside down, and the badge turns round to face the people in front of you and swings a little as you walk. Slide it top first into a chest pocket and it shrinks to a strip, so your name shows above the edge.

The pocket check uses the front camera for a few seconds while the phone is upside down, decided by a small model on the phone, with frames never stored. You can keep several badges — work, a conference, a meetup — add a link that turns into a QR code on the back, and choose from five designs: Classic, Office, Event, Minimal, or Live, which moves. It is free with one badge, and Pro is a one-time purchase.
