  • Good experience

    The app is pretty easy to understand and helps you take what I think are good and compliant photos. They came out just fine at the local Walgreens and the price is fair. Using this app sure beats trying to get a photo right in store. As long as the authorities accept these photos, this app gets five stars from me.

  • Walgreens won’t allow you to use these photos

    I took a nice photo with this app & sent it over to Walgreens and they printed it. Then someone from the store called and said that they weren’t allowed to sell me a passport photo that didn’t take in the store. Why does this app exist if Walgreens won’t allow you to purchase the picture you took?
  • Great in theory

    I decided to use this app because I use Walgreens for all my photo printing and didn’t want to risk having my face mask off in the store during covid to take a picture. Took my photo at home, it was accepted as compliant through the app, got to the store to pick up my order and was told that it’s unusable because the staff was unable to access or edit the photo. Ended up having to take it in the store which is exactly what I didn’t want to do.

  • Dark , single color clothes

    We worked through 12 pictures before we realized that a dark , one color top is best . Once we figured that out , it worked well . We could have just had the photo made at the developer , but it was good to do this at home .
  • Passport renew approved!! It works!

    I had this app for a few years. I knew I had to renew my passport soon but I kept procrastinating. I can finally confirm that this app works!!! I just received an email from the US Dept of State that my application has been “Approved”. The app is super simple to use and they help guide you, but of course it’s not perfect so you still have to use your own judgment in selecting a clear photo with good lighting. I advise you to read the photo tips provided on the app or go to the state’s official site. Your head must be sized between 1”-1.4” in a 2”x2”. Do not use in selfie mode (front facing cam) because images aren’t clear. I suggest using tripod or selfie stick if you are taking it on your own. I used it on my iPhone SE so you can see you don’t need the fanciest phone for it.

  • EXCELLENT APP

    I was so thrilled to find this app in preparing to renew my daughter’s passport. Being able to take the pic at home using the guidelines in app and see quickly that it meets the requirements for the State Department, then firing it off to the nearest Walgreen’s for printing was a BREEZE!
  • CAUTION! Forces you to pay $15 at Walgreens

    This isn’t one of those apps that helps you print passport photos for $0.10 in a 4x6. ALSO it doesn’t let you export the photos in any way except sending them online to Walgreens. One pro: The face analytics are nice in ensuring you have a good photo

    Why use an app at home that then costs you the same $$ as going into a store and having them take the photos?

  • Very Easy and Convenient

    I was able to use this by myself in front of a mirror. Because the selfie mode is not allowed, I took pics of myself in front of my bathroom mirror. It took a few attempts before I got everything right, but it’s because lighting and background color and cast shadows had to comply with US standards.👍🏼

  • Exporting pictures not possible - otherwise ok

    Understand that Walgreens want to make sure we don’t print the pictures ourselves or go elsewhere, but we should have the ability to export photos for our own use. The app is very strict (stricter than actual passport requirements), but works ok and picking up photos at the store was efficient.
  • Worked really well

    I like that the app reviews the picture for errors before approving it. It sent the photos to my local Walgreens where I picked it up. It’d be good if Walgreens stores could cut photos to sizes other than 2x2”, which some visas require
