Completely useless

The app does not work at all. I have a brand new phone (iPhone 17pro) and my Passport is only 2 years old. This app will not scan it at all. Did similar scans for German phone services before and with different apps and had no problems. This app on the other hand absolutely does not work. 2 hours of my life wasted trying to make it work.

Not working

Can’t pair the app with my phone, even after following all instructions.

Terrible

I got it to work ONCE after many attempts to pair. Most of the time it doesn't pair and yes, both devices are on the same network. I tried several networks including hotspot.

After pairing, it worked once, then never again. Removed pairing, then it woulnd't pair again.

The instructions what to do if the device doesn't appear are useless.

Complete trash, can't believe the government releases such garbage.

Immer noch eine Intel App

Ich bekomme jedes Mal beim starten des Studio Mac die Warnung das die App bald nicht mehr funktioniert, da sie noch für einen Intel Mac gebaut wurde.

Does not work

Don’t waste your time. German bureaucracy is only getting worse when it tried to keep up.
