## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Collects Personal Data

*2024-03-21*

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

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-03-13*

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

### 1/5 — Scans but there’s an error

*2024-01-27*

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

### 1/5 — Highly difficult

*2024-01-06*

Minimal directions and could not complete the verification of NFC.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-12-05*

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!

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2023-09-13*

Perhaps this people are just simply stealing passport data.

### 1/5 — Just does not work

*2023-08-13*

This app just does not work. Tried to make it work five times. Failed to make it work five times. I am going to remove the app from my phone.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2022-01-10, version 1.0.2*

Never scanned any chip always an error and said what the camera saw.  My eyes can do that.  Useless!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-08-09*

Doesn’t work

### 2/5 — Unsure

*2021-11-29*

Terms and conditions doesn’t say which data is being collected. I just refuse to agree and will delete the app shortly. It looks good though.
