Absolutely terrible

Nirgendwo auf der Welt macht es eine Regierung so schwer etwas zu bestätigen order nachzuweisen. Die App ist sowas von behindert!

QR doesn’t work

App is not picking up the QR scan whatsoever. Makes you get stuck at that step and you can’t proceed.

Kamera-Ansteuerung fuer iPad fehlerhaft

I pad 4. Generation, iPadOS 26.5. Das Bild auf dem Bildschirm erscheint oben-unten und rechts-links verdreht, was es sehr schwer macht, sich zu orientieren und den Pass zu zentrieren.

Kein Problem mit dem iPhone.

Scanner

The app does not scan the QR code on my iphone11
