### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-08-16, version 1.9.0*

Unable to sign it

### 1/5 — Never receive digit code

*2026-08-16, version 1.9.0*

Can’t log in because I can’t get the digit code

### 1/5 — Can’t even sign in

*2026-08-14, version 1.9.0*

I log in with my google account and then the 2FA never sends the code to my number

### 1/5 — Deplorable and frustrating

*2026-08-14, version 1.9.0*

Never used an app as USELESS as the Alberta wallet! OMGF been trying to get my health card over a month but it doesn’t open. Asks me to log in over and over and over again! A waste of my taxes!

### 1/5 — SMS code not popping up or sending

*2026-08-13, version 1.9.0*

Code to login is not working at all

### 1/5 — Can’t even log in

*2026-08-12, version 1.9.0*

Every time I tried to log in with my account, it boots me back to the home screen and I have to do the process over and over again, but no success. Absolutely broken app

### 1/5 — A good idea executed poorly and partially

*2026-08-11, version 1.9.0*

The Alberta Wallet is a good first step to introduce more secure digital documents.  A drivers license should be next. So many countries do it and Alberta should be the first in Canada. 

The poor execution is in verification codes. It worked well for a while. Now I never get one no matter how long I wait. My information is correct, but the wait for the code continues. Perhaps passkeys might be a better way to go. The app is more miss than hit.

### 1/5 — Albertan

*2026-08-10, version 1.9.0*

On phone with tech support for over 5 hrs over the course of 3 days and not able to update my DL as app is not functioning to load the card

### 1/5 — One

*2026-08-09, version 1.9.0*

Can only download one document, useless!

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless

*2026-08-07, version 1.9.0*

How can a provincial government release an app this dysfunctional? You can’t even log in. It keeps asking to send a verification code to your phone, but the code never arrives. I’ve requested it multiple times over.  Three days and still nothing. Completely useless.

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2026-08-07, version 1.9.0*

New update is glitchy. Can’t get past the Alberta sign in after using google to sign in. Keeps looping back to login page over again.

### 1/5 — Wallet

*2026-08-07, version 1.9.0*

Face ID doesn’t work  either

### 1/5 — buggy

*2026-08-06, version 1.9.0*

it doesn’t allow me to sign in stuck in a loop after I enter the code it goes back to enter the email address

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2026-08-06, version 1.9.0*

Doesn’t even work, I sign in and it makes me sign in again

### 1/5 — Not functional

*2026-08-05, version 1.9.0*

I’ve tried to access this app so many times. I go through the entire log in process. I get to the an enable fast log in screen and then it locks out and starts at the beginning. Still have yet to access.

### 1/5 — Why this app?

*2026-07-30, version 1.7.3*

The code never came, the app for just 1 card that takes 60 mb of your storage. What a wild game being in 21 century. The development team is horrible. Why government is using this app? I bet thousands of dollars went on developing it while guess what… it still doesn’t work. Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Can not login

*2026-08-28, version 1.10.0*

I can not login this app because I never received the security code.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-28, version 1.10.0*

Hasn't allowed me to sign in and I've tried all the different ways to make it work. I can access it just fine online. Probably another failure brought to you by the Alberta Govt.

### 1/5 — Impossible to login

*2026-08-27, version 1.10.0*

I’ve tried multiple days now. I have a verified account with a Google passkey. I keep requesting them to send me a number via text, but it never shows up.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-08-25, version 1.10.0*

“Something went wrong Please try again later.” on every sign in attempt. Thanks, that really helped.

### 1/5 — Sign In Issue

*2026-08-24, version 1.10.0*

Whenever I try to sign in using my Username and Password, this app just logs me out right away even after entering the OTP from my cellphone number. I haven’t been able to get in even once. Tried uninstalling the app, tried signing in like 100 times. Such a waste of time and energy.

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2026-08-21, version 1.10.0*

Just keeps
Looping to have you sign in. Useless!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-20, version 1.9.0*

They say check your mobile card for expiry-but the app won’t let you log in. Get an error message every time and to “try again later”
Garbage.

### 1/5 — Waste of money and time

*2026-08-18, version 1.9.0*

What’s the point if yall were just going add it onto our driver licenses anyway? Yall just love throwing away money huh?

### 1/5 — doesn’t work

*2026-08-18, version 1.9.0*

won’t send verification codes to my phone number, useless.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-08-17, version 1.9.0*

It’ll just keep throwing you in a loop to sign in but never actually allows you to sign in lol

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-01-23*

Much better than having to show your flimsy AHS Card. I really like this method.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

### 4/5 — Alberta health card

*2026-08-28, version 1.10.0*

Was very easy to download

### 4/5 — In Device Wallet

*2026-07-24, version 1.7.3*

Where is the on device wallet?

### 4/5 — Update - Poor implementation

*2026-01-22*

Update - appears the issue with 2FA has been addressed and I’m able to access the app. 

Goes round and round in a circle when using 2FA. Keeps taking you to the login prompt every time I enter 2FA

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear you are encountering issues with the app. Please reach out to our support line at 1-844-743-1905.

### 3/5 — Working progress

*2026-02-11*

I really hope we will be able to add drivers licenses and other forms ID in the near future. I added one of my children, no problem. However, the other one won’t add to my Alberta Wallet. I’ve tried it several times and made sure all the numbers are correct. Hopefully this gets streamlined in the near future. 
I would definitely keep a back up picture of your kids up to healthcare card just in case.

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear you are encountering issues with the app. Please reach out to our support line at 1-844-743-1905. Additional digital documents are coming in the future to the Alberta Wallet app.

### 3/5 — Modern signin missing

*2025-08-30*

The concept is admirable. But, why develop a separate wallet app for 1 card??? Is it a power thing? 

Why not create a version of the card that can be put into Apple Wallet?

If you’re going to keep a separate wallet, at least let me sign in using touch or Face ID. 

Having your enter a password EACH TIME I open the app does not make it faster than than using a physical card. 

You can do better.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Our team is working on the use of biometric security to help keep your information safe and enable offline access.

### 2/5 — Can’t even log in

*2026-08-23, version 1.10.0*

On top of launching what feels like an alpha or beta version as it only supports one card, I can’t even log in. I access my Alberta.ca account via the Google log in, which is not even an option in this app.

### 2/5 — Not very convenient

*2026-08-20, version 1.9.0*

I would say most people already have a digital wallet on their phone (either Apple wallet or Samsung) so it’s not very convenient to have to go into a different specific app just to assess one card - your Alberta health care card. I’d rather just have a plastic card until they figure out how to add your Alberta Health Care card (and maybe your Alberta drivers license?) to your phones built in wallets.

### 2/5 — Security Does Not Always Work

*2026-08-11, version 1.9.0*

Fun app when accessed. Needs work on pics. Need to be able to turn off dumb downing icons and images during navigation. Needs more uses.

### 2/5 — Wallet

*2026-07-22*

Face ID doesn’t work 🙈
