### 1/5 — Auslöser Scan zu schnell

*2026-03-10, version 4.2.0*

Die automatische Auslösung des Scan erfolgt viel zu schnell, es ist fast nicht möglich den Ausweis richtig auszurichten.

### 5/5 — Molto Buona

*2026-02-11, version 4.2.0*

L’App fa quello che serve, al volo ed è molto pratica. Forse unico quesito da porre. La Lingua Italiano.

### 3/5 — Verbesserungsfähig

*2025-12-31, version 4.2.0*

Grundsätzlich nicht schlecht. Leider lassen sich eingescannte Ausweise nicht vergrößern, wodurch sie ganz oder teilweise nicht lesbar und damit unbrauchbar sind.

### 5/5 — بغداد

*2025-07-23, version 4.1.2*

برنامج رائع ومفيد جدا شكرا لكم

### 3/5 — READ THE PRIVACY CONSENT

*2024-11-02, version 3.6.1*

This app collects all the data, including images from the selfie camera while you are scanning the app, and sends it off to their servers for storage. 

In today’s day and age, you absolutely do not need to send images to servers for them to be processed. If you are looking for an app that securely stores the information of your passports — this ain’t it. 
Props for the app dev for not hiding this information, and being very open about what this app does. But -2 stars for not really doing what literally the first photo states this app does: securely storing information (personally: I assume On Device, when it comes to such sensitive information). No offense, but I don’t trust you with my information on your servers.

### 5/5 — Wierdo

*2024-11-01, version 3.6.1*

My ID says that I am a driver but who knows maybe it is?

### 4/5 — Sehr gut

*2024-09-30, version 3.6.1*

Es fehlen noch mehr Optionen aber ansonsten ist die App sehr gut, ich habe mir die Alten Kommentare angeschaut und viele gute Ideen gelesen aber keins von denn wurde berücksichtigt mittlerweile kann man bei IOS18 überall Face ID installieren was gut ist und es gesperrt habe mit Face ID wie gesagt die App ist gut aber braucht mehr Möglichkeiten 👍🏼😁

### 1/5 — Geht nicht

*2024-04-16, version 3.6.1*

Immer falsch aufgenommen.

### 5/5 — Fast and easy

*2023-09-26, version 3.6.1*

Scanning documents and grabbing information it’s an easy and fast operation. Would be nice to have a better txt export function. Dates are exported dd/mm/yy this causes a lot of problems if you don’t check the pictures you don’t know if the year is 1922 or 2022

### 1/5 — STEALING YOUR DATA

*2023-09-13, version 3.6.1*

All images are processed on their servers. They also take selfie pictures (activating the front camera) during use. These images are also sent to their server. Check their privacy policy. DO NOT USE.

"Please note that while you are interacting with the App and scanning images with the rear camera, the App is capturing your images with the front-facing camera. While using the App, images are retained and processed on Microblink servers unless the App is used without a network connection."
