Very helpful
My passport got wet very bad and it’s the only app that read the chip and helped make sure that my passport still good
Does not work.
Nothing happens. Tried every which way.
Great reader but missing functionality
Works exactly as expected as a good utility but would be nice if you could copy the fields directly from the app by holding the field or a dedicated button to do it, right now I’m taking screenshots and using the built in OCR to copy over the fields. Image download would be nice too optionally.
Scansione e
Non è facile intuire le varie fasi ma alla fine:fatto.
For my US passport I also needed to scan my back cover
The instructions aren’t very good, I did need to hold open the passport and scan the back cover. I was about to give it one star before read somebody else’s review.
Doesn’t scan NFC
It extracts the data from the photo, not from NFC
Good but difficult
Took many trials to read data from the passport. There should be a video tutorial.

Are your company still exist?
可以快速读取
不知道是否安全
Does not work
Tried 3 passports from different eu countries, after scan is complete info is left blank and app does not work
Reisepass geht, Personalausweis nicht
Funktioniert beim zweiten Versuch mit dem Reisepass. Beim Personalausweis (von 2018) klappt das scannen, aber es kommt sofort nach dem Lesen des Chips eine Fehlermeldung „Lesen fehlgeschlagen (6982)“ obwohl der Chip freigeschaltet ist und mit der AusweisApp funktioniert.
Not 100% of what I was expecting
Why do you require using the camera first? It should be to scan the passport chip directly.
Stressed about my passport
I have some wear and tear to my passport, but a bit worried the chip was damaged. But checked a few times and all is well, flying in 3 days so hopefully all will be well then to fingers crossed!.
Creepy!
Switch off WiFi and Cellular before starting the app. Delete the app after using. Power down and restart before re-enabling network and cellular!
Nicht fehlerfrei
Beim neuen Bundespersonalausweis von 2023 funktioniert das Scannen der Rückseite nicht. Hingegen beim Reisepass einwandfrei.
It works for me
Other nfc passport apps scan the chip but then fail to read or download GB passport. Shame I can’t use NFC passport for LinkedIn ID process. This app works - shows my details
iPhone 6s
Actually, it doesn’t support iPhone 6s.
Great app
Great app
Fake app
I guess those passport reader cannot read chip on passport but only take data from data page. That’s why they must make photo of data page. If not they cannot show chip data.
Passport scan
I was worried about travelling after my passport wouldn’t scan at the airport on the way home from my last vacation and was told that it was due to the chip not being able to be scanned, I travel in 10 days and have been worried I wouldn’t be able to scan my passport due to the chip, I then read about this app online to check if it was the chip, great app
DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY
it scans successfully and says connected but nothing happens. Does not show information. I am afraid it is sending your personal information to their database for data harvesting and who knows if it will end up in black market. I could be totally wrong but it just made me panic and I deleted immediately, probably too late as they for my passport info by that time.
Great App!
Keep up the great work, showing love from Reddit from a comment 1 year ago. Wanted to check in and show how things were going. This app has potential. Maybe look into a way for users to add their ID’s digitally and then promote the app to local stores, so they can accept this from of ID. I know it’s a long shot, but with the right backing financially this can take off.
Stopped working
App stopped working after the last update
Fast
Took 3 seconds. Fastest one I’ve seen.
Doesn't Scan Chip
Tried with an EU and South American pssports, doesn't scan the passport chip.
Great
Working for US passports
Doesn’t work
Tried my Spanish passport and ID card and it doesn’t work. It works in UK passport but not good enough. READID works perfectly with all my documents.
