### 3/5 — Terminal 5 jfk

*2026-08-17, version 4.5.1*

Jetblu terminal 5 MPC supposedly is closed why is this?

### 2/5 — CLT MPC slower than non-MPC

*2026-08-16, version 4.5.1*

Incredible as it seems the MPC line in Charlotte simply does not move. I finally had to go to the regular line which uses Face ID technology and moves very quickly. MPC is terrible.

### 5/5 — Easy directions and saves time

*2026-08-15, version 4.5.1*

I’ve applied to Global Entry twice and have been rejected twice for an incident in high school that should have been expunged. This app has saved me the $100 processing fee and I get through faster than Global since my husband and I race each other. LOL.
Thank you!

### 5/5 — Fast In

*2026-08-11, version 4.5.1*

In from 2 weeks in Germany. 3 planes landed at almost the same time. Several hundred in line for CBP. App sent us to a super fast access and we breezed thru. Great experience.

Thank you for this excellent service.

### 2/5 — Often doesn’t help

The app is fine. Several times the airport puts you in the same line as the rest.

### 5/5 — Toronto to Columbus, Ohio

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — How about having it work?

*2026-08-24, version 4.5.2*

Got here to Newark AND MPC IS NOT WORKING!!!🤬

### 1/5 — The app sucks

*2026-08-18, version 4.5.1*

Even writing a review is cumbersome

### 1/5 — Useless. Not used at airports anyways

*2026-08-11, version 4.5.1*

Last 3 times I have tried to use this at Newark or jfk, I am told to go into the general hour long wait line anyways, and the staff dont even know what I am talking about anyways. Don’t get peoples hopes up just to have them wait in line anyways

### 1/5 — Not for USVI

*2026-08-07, version 4.5.1*

Just used MCP to return to the mainland and mcp was not helpful. Just pay red cap to put you at the front of the line.

### 1/5 — Never internet

*2026-08-04, version 4.5.0*

When you need it most there’s no internet at the airport

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-08-03, version 4.5.0*

No line  available to this app

### 1/5 — It’s a hit or miss

*2026-08-03, version 4.5.0*

This app is amazing when it leads to a faster immigration line, particularly when you’re making a tight connection. But it’s a hit or miss. It’s more of an experiment.  There is no consistency in its effectiveness.  Some airports won’t honor it at all, even if they are included in the list of covered airports, which makes it a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-08-02, version 4.5.0*

Employees always say the app doesn’t work at every airport and points you to wait at the same all passport line. Pointless app

### 1/5 — DFW

*2026-07-30, version 4.5.0*

The last 2 times I’ve been through customs MPC has been closed. It would be beneficial to know this before we get to the area so we don’t do all the work, take pictures of 6 people and then have to get farther back in line bc we were doing the pics. Or just let us know this is closed down in Dallas.

### 1/5 — App works fine. Execution is a failure.

*2026-07-29, version 4.5.0*

“Streamline your US arrival.”  Yeah. Right. Upon arrival at ORD, they direct you to the green card/legal resident line and you stand there and watch while everyone passes you.

*2026-08-22, version 4.5.2*

Works good, helps skip lines

### 5/5 — App worked fine

*2026-08-21, version 4.5.2*

Problem is Charlotte airport has you go thru regular line and was not using MPC. They did have a line for it but directed everyone to regular line because it was faster. Those who were foreigners could use line.

This is best app ever!! It makes our international entrance always a breeze. I love this!! Really, thank you!!

### 5/5 — A must

*2026-08-19, version 4.5.1*

We fly into IAD in DC often, and this has made 2 hour waits 15 minutes. It’s a must.

Très facile à utiliser
