User reviews

Worthless

Can’t even get past scan driver license

Camera does not work and sucks

Seriously it’s 2026 - and in the age of AI HCAD can’t have a decent camera for their app?

It’s impossible to scan the back of your license and get your I file number, and there’s no tap to focus the camera. This is a basic iPhone function.

Do better

New Exemption is unusable

The tap-to-focus feature does not work when taking pictures of DL, making it impossible to take a clear picture

Exemption

I experienced issues scanning the back of my license. Someone advised to use the magnifying feature, and it worked after I tried it. It’s a small button located on the corner of the screen.

Back of driver license

The back of driver license won’t scan no matter how clear it is
