### 1/5 — Not a real app.

*2022-02-28, version 1.1*

Fake IDs scan and real ones do not.

### 1/5 — 👎

*2022-02-26, version 1.1*

I downloaded the the app and doesn’t even do the one purpose it’s supposed to do…. SCAN. I’m doing exactly what I’m being told to do is to scan the bar code on the back of the id and doesn’t do anything.

### 1/5 — Not focusing

I could not get this to work on the 13 pro. 
The camera just won’t focus.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2023-11-05, version 1.3.0*

### 1/5 — Trial

*2023-05-15, version 1.3.0*

This app would be more marketable if they allowed a few free scans to warrant the subscription.   I won’t purchase anything with a trial run.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-07-02, version 1.1*

I scanned my id my boyfriends id and 2 of my friends and all said it couldn’t scan because they might be fake….. they’re not.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2022-06-01, version 1.1*

Never worked and zero customer service

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-05-02, version 1.1*

This does not work. I have tried twice. My ID and one other person. It wouldn’t scan at all.  Wish this worked.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-03-23, version 1.1*

Doesn’t scan IDs ever. Tried multiple of my own and my real ones were all deemed fakes.

Update: Scannr works amazing. You only have 20 free scans but if you are looking for an app that only needs to work a few times like me that’s the one for you.
