Aztec barcodes with a large amount of data (such as airplane tickets) will shrink down poorly, leading to them being unreadable. The long Aztec barcode below demonstrates this issue (centre bulls eye not visible).

Hey, have you looked into making the barcode bigger, either by hiding the header or bottom counter? Did the issue remain?

Unfortunately, that's not the issue here. Barcodes are currently limited to 256 bytes (one persistent storage item) and, as a result, are unable to store more data.

Store them as two and render them alongside each other.

@n4ru I have a private branch that implements this but have been running into some weird issues with persistent storage. I've been trying to work with the folks at Pebble to figure out what's wrong in that sense.
