Can’t even get past disclaimer junk app

Worked for my MO License

I’m interested to experiment further with this app. It worked correctly for my MO Drivers License-provided my full name, date of birth, current age and approved me for alcohol and tobacco (I’m 50.) It was very easy to use and is easily read. I don’t think any app or scanner should be 100% trusted if your gut or the little off nuances were trained to look for tells you it’s fake but I will add it to another one of my tools to use to determine accuracy!

Works Great on CA IDs

I read all the bad reviews of it saying an ID is fake when it’s not. I’ve check it with several California Drivers License’s and they all showed correctly. I’m wondering if it just doesn’t have the database to support all types of ID?

Does not work on enhanced licenses

Tried to scan my enhanced id so I could see what data was getting stored by businesses , came up possible fake. I could see if I had the low end NY ID, but this is the new enhanced version.

Doesn’t even work

This app is really popular around the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri but it honestly doesn’t work. I’ve known people with fakes that get the green light and people with out of state legitimate ID’s that get an alert along the lines of “possible fraudulent ID.” It’s bad that the only purpose of the app is to scan ID’s to dictate whether they are real or not and it can’t even do it. If you run a business and have your employees use this app, it will lose you money from honest customers. Find another app
