Bug fixes and performance improvements.

User reviews

Collects Personal Data

Be aware this App collects personal information and uploads it to its database. Very scary.

Doesn’t work

Tried it on Aus passport and app gives error when attempting to download the data. I know my passport is scannable because it works with other nfc scanning apps on this device

Scans but there’s an error

Reading the MRZ works. Detecting the NFC scanner works. Retrieving the data results in an error. “An error occurred while downloading the data.”

Highly difficult

Minimal directions and could not complete the verification of NFC.

Doesn’t work

My Australian passport definitely has a chip because it was refreshed only last year, but this app can’t scan it.

You had one job!
