## What is ID Scanner?

ID Scanner App is the most advanced ID scanner available on the App Store. With the ID Scanner App you can use the camera on your iPod, iPhone or iPad to scan the 2D barcode of any government issued ID.  Our proprietary 2D barcode and magnetic stripe parser catches fake IDs and validates information from the ID. Use this app to register guests, including contact information.

You can purchase an optional ID scanning case (from www.idscannerapp.com) that will allow you to scan even faster and read magnetic stripes.

Register contact information after scanning the ID of a patron. Access this information, and demographic trends, from the online portal. Registration for this portal is optional and can be done through the app. Login to the web portal from https://sec.idscannerapp.com/portal/. 

Use the ID scanner app to verify age, validate the ID and identify flagged patrons. Create multiple tags (such as VIP, banned, 86, sales prospect, client, guestlist, etc.) for your business. Any associated tags will be shown the next time you scan the patron. These can be shared across multiple devices through the cloud. 

You will also be alerted if the ID scanned is for someone that is underage or has had an alert put on them at any of the devices networked and using the ID scanner app. You can set the legal age through the settings of the app and you can also add/remove alerts through the app or through the online web portal. 

Access demographic and trend reports from the online portal. Use this information to better your business and keep costs down. 

Scanning IDs is fast and easy in the ID scanner app by using the camera on your iPod, iPhone or iPad. However, if you do want to use a faster ID scanning solution, you can purchase the optional ID scanning case. This scanning case has its own battery and can scan 2D barcodes as well as magnetic stripes, which ensures reading of majority of government issued IDs. The scanning case uses its own imager hardware for scanning 2D barcodes, so it can scan barcodes and magnetic stripes in every lighting condition. The ID scanning case can scan IDs in less than 1 second. 

THE ID SCANNING CASE IS OPTIONAL AND CAN BE PURCHASED AT: http://www.idscannerapp.com 

The ID Scanner App will read the following fields from the ID: name, date of birth, address, city, state, postal/zip, issue date, expiry date, document number and gender. 

The ID Scanner App uses ID scanning technology from the worlds largest ID scanning company, Patronscan, www.patronscan.com.

### 1/5 — No longer scanning.

*2024-05-25*

The app no longer works do not use.

### 1/5 — This app is abandoned and does not work

*2022-09-13, version 3.12*

See title.

### 5/5 — Love the improvements

*2020-05-28*

Scans many different ID’s I see through. The new changes are great, quick scans and most of the time very accurate!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-02-09*

This app is a complete waste of your time if I was you I would go for something else.😕

### 1/5 — Bad Work

*2019-12-10, version 2.10*

I bought 1500 scans and every time I scan a ID it doesn’t show the information just keep saying processing

### 1/5 — Garbage!

*2019-07-13, version 2.10*

Poorly designed application! Installed app, setup an “account”, logging in, but for some reason it would not sync my account or settings. I keep getting the same error “Error Deleting Status Types...”

I’ve restarted my phone, uninstalled the app, reinstalled it, even purchased $.99 for 100 scans to see if that would help - nothing!!! Not even a
Phone number to call for support!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-11-16, version 2.05*

I’m a bouncer and used this at the bar I worked at. People that definitely looked over 40 had the app say their IDs were fake. I tried it on my own since I’m 23 and the app couldn’t even read the barcode on my license. I wish I could give this app less than 1 star.

### 5/5 — Bar Manager

*2018-05-20, version 2.05*

Work at a local bar with a lot of College kids I use this at the door and it identifies fake ID’s instantly, word has gotten out that we use ID Scanner and it has deterred a lot of the college kids from coming especially since these ID’s are costing them $50-$75 and we are required to confiscate them!

### 1/5 — This app will ruin a birthday party.

*2018-04-29, version 2.05*

We went to Buffalo Wild Wings for a friends 22 nd birthday, and she went to order a drink. She has a CT license, and this stupid app said that it was a fake id. Except it wasn’t. Aside from the horrible service at the restaurant, this app was horrible and ruined a birthday party.

### 1/5 — Innacurate

*2018-04-16, version 2.05*

Showed that my real id was fake. Do not recommend
