Doesn’t work

The instructions don’t work as per the gov.uk website. Says open the app and click the “download the app” in the browser, but that doesn’t work, you just get a blank page.

This app is pretty much useless. I hope this isn’t what the UK is going to use in order to implement digital ID!

Useless

Spent over an hour trying to take a picture of my passport , will not work, waste of taxpayers money for such a shoddy app

Does Not Recognise me!

This is rubbish!!!

Giving up

Too difficult to access. Will not update to current version. Not everyone wants to buy a new iPhone just to please you.
Says need to update app on ios16 my iPhone 7 says it is fully updated on ios15.8

Hard to use

I had to try this several times with both my passport n my driving licence I had to do it in the middle of the day to finally get it working again after several tries

Rubbish

Absolutely cr*p made by the same incompetence running the country

Mr

Just too complicated

Easy to use

Just explain that for the part with the chip, the camera needs to touch the chip at the cover of the passport

Doesn’t work and too complicated

Too complex

Mr Tisdall

Flashing warning

Good App but flashing lights not great for Photosensitivity Epilepsy or migraine suffer’s

Nice one

Good job and use of technology

Staci state

Hate all this

Nearly great

When it works its great but I have had several attempts to get it to register the passport chip

Fun

Quick and amazing experience hope everything goes through smoothly

Impenetrable!

I've spent hours trying to get this app up and running. Something's wrong. Thought it was meant to make life easier. Silly me. Giving up now.

RR

Really struggled with getting a passport photo ax instructions were not clear enough

Unable to connect to gov.uk

I tried several different iPhones , and XR and 15 and both came with error message. I hv already proven my Identity with the post office but the final link does not work. It is incredibly frustrating. This app should not have been launched if it does not work seamlessly.

Appalling!

Over complicated junk that puts innocent users through a million unnecessary hoops then still refuses to let one access their message to see how much they are going to rip one off in tax this time
