Leider lassen sich eingescannte Ausweise nicht vergrößern, wodurch sie ganz oder teilweise nicht lesbar und damit unbrauchbar sind. ### 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. ### 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 👍🏼😁 ### 2/5 — iPhone 14 pro *2023-04-02, version 3.6.1* App has trouble scanning using a brand new iPhone 14 pro. Clean lenses. California drivers license is placed on the table. It scans the front. But does not scan the back with barcode. Also does not scan passport. With my 2020 iPad Pro 12.9” it scanned the ID but it did not scan the passport either. Maybe allow us to switch cameras on iPhone pro to get a better image? ### 3/5 — Wenig Auswahl und keine Zugriffssicherheit *2023-01-08, version 3.6.1* Ich würde mir mehr Auswahlmöglichkeiten wünschen. Auch das scannen von Führerscheinen sollte neben Ausweis, Reisepass und anderen Karten möglich sein. Außerdem vermisse ich die Möglichkeit, die App oder die Dokumente mit Face- oder Touch-ID zu sichern. ### 4/5 — Schnell u einfach *2022-07-14, version 3.6.1* Tolle App, manchmal etwas zu schnell beim scannen dann muss man halt wiederholen. Gut wäre eine pin Sperre ### 4/5 — Face İD *2022-07-01, version 3.6* Es fehlt mir noch die Face İD, zur sicherheit von die ganze karten, wenn es noch kommt gibt es 5 sterne, vielen dank. ### 4/5 — Missing one thing *2022-04-13, version 3.5* Great app loving being able to have everything on my phone, just missing one thing. Wish it was locked when you open the app. Wish you could use faceID or touchID or passcode to keep items secure. If someone had my phone they could just open the app and see everything ### 3/5 — Does the job but! *2022-03-11, version 3.4.1* Does what is says it will do, but really let down by the fact there is no built in security. If I’m going to trust the app with my personal details I need to have a way to make them secure, as at present if somebody gets my phone all my details are open to be seen. I’m sure building in encryption would be expensive but I would be happy to pay for it, at least it should have the option of a PIN number or faceID. ### 2/5 — Ausbaufähig *2022-01-31, version 3.4* Die App ist im Prinzip gut, allerdings fehlen wesentliche Zusatzfunktionen! Kein Schutz gegen unberechtigten Zugriff (Pin, Face ID), Möglichkeit der Sortierung der div. Karten und Verbesserung der Scanfunktion. Also durchaus noch ausbaufähig! Z.Zt. verzichte ich noch auf die Anwedung und hoffe auf Aktualisierung. ### 3/5 — Face ID *2022-01-06, version 3.3* Wenn jetzt noch Face ID kommt gibts 5 Sterne ### 4/5 — Schöne APP *2021-12-31, version 3.3* Schöne App, die macht was sie soll und ohne Probleme. Das einzige was fehlt ist die Sicherung und Freigabe per PIN und/oder FaceID; wenn das noch kommt gibt es alle 5 Sterne. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Geht nicht *2024-04-16, version 3.6.1* Immer falsch aufgenommen. ### 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." ### 1/5 — App Blows! *2022-08-03, version 3.6.1* I have tried several times to take photos of my 2 ID’s. And the app will not even open my camera. So thank goodness this was a free app! ### 1/5 — Fake Stars *2022-05-01, version 3.5* I don’t see how this could get 5 stars. It FLAT out doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Akzeptanz *2022-03-18, version 3.4.1* Hallo Zusammen, Ich verwende diese App seit geraumer Zeit! Leider gibt es z.B. einige Covid Test Stationen, die dieses Form des ausweisen nicht akzeptieren! Ich fragte bei der Landes ansässigen Polizeidienststelle nach, welche ähnliches äußerte! Was, nützt dann eine solche App!? Bitte um Klärung ### 1/5 — Datenkrake *2022-01-18, version 3.3* Wer da zustimmt, ist dumm! ### 1/5 — Think hard before uploading your life to this app. *2021-11-27, version 3.3* All it takes is one data breach and all of your sensitive information, documents, IDs, and whatever else you uploaded to this app is available on the dark web for purchase by the highest bidder. This app is based out of Iceland, and is not affiliated with any US state or US government entity, so think hard before giving up your personal identity to a random app on the App Store. ### 1/5 — Hässliche Scans *2021-11-18, version 3.3* Alle Karten werden verzogen dargestellt. Egal wie schnell oder langsam ich scanne. Damit ist die App nutzlos. ### 1/5 — Garbage doesn’t work *2021-03-22, version 2.15.1* It scans the front of my dL like a champ but then on the back it just sits there doing nothing it doesn’t even have United States as an option ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — بغداد *2025-07-23, version 4.1.2* برنامج رائع ومفيد جدا شكرا لكم ### 5/5 — Wierdo *2024-11-01, version 3.6.1* My ID says that I am a driver but who knows maybe it is? ### 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 ### 5/5 — Funktioniert Gut *2022-07-18, version 3.6.1* … ### 5/5 — جيد *2022-06-20, version 3.6* برنامج روعة وخدمي للغاية ### 5/5 — Remarque *2022-05-08, version 3.5* Bravo, remarquable mais dommage que l’on ne puisse pas agrandir l’image. ### 5/5 — The app is great *2022-04-19, version 3.5* The app stores all my information and is quite easy to use. Thank you for your service. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2021-10-13, version 3.3* I just downloaded it on October 12th 2021 and I right on kept all my documents in this app, works perfectly. thanks to the creators. ### 5/5 — Datenschutz *2021-09-15, version 3.3* Finde die App sehr gut 👍. Würde gerne meine Bankkarten auch Einscannen.Wie werden die Daten von euch verwaltet?? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
