### 1/5 — AI Fail

*2026-08-27, version 2.23*

I took at least a dozen photos and the AI processor found exceedingly tiny flaws in all of them and would not allow me to progress to download a digital file. I think their parameters for an “acceptable” image are far too strict, making this app impractical.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-06-20, version 2.21*

Total waste of money and time

How can an app with so many negative reviews have a rating of 4.7 Apple is complicit in hosting such scams on its platform 

If this app were genuine they would provide frames for ensuring that your facials are properly captured instead of sending rejection after rejection also they should also only charge after photo has been processed 

Colossal waste of time and money

### 5/5 — Bravo

### 5/5 — Ultra efficace

*2026-04-20*

J’ai vu l’application dans l’émission QVEMA et je savais que je devais faire des photos . J’ai donc téléchargé de suite l’appli. Je l’ai fait pour ma fille de 2 ans qui bouge partout et après plusieurs tentatives les photos ont été validées. Ils laissent le temps de les refaire, ils disent ceux qui ne convient pas, et le retour est ultra rapide. rapport qualité prix parfait . J’attends mon envoi mais je les ai téléchargé par mail si besoin . Je recommande +++ gain de temps et d’argent . Facile à utiliser

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience 🙂

### 1/5 — US passport photo rejected

*2026-04-09, version 2.20*

DO NOT PAY THIS APP! I paid this app for US passport photo, and it was rejected at passport application center. They explained why it was rejected (photo clearly did not fit into the template). I had to step out, find Staples 10 min away to get a new photo. fortunately they let me keep my  appointment. Now when I created support feedback ticket to the app, they are asking me for documented proof of rejection by passport application center!!

### 5/5 — Simplicité

*2026-03-22*

La possibilité de refaire des prises de vue après le contrôle excellent.

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
Nous sommes heureux que notre service réponde à vos attentes 🙂
Merci et à bientôt sur Smartphone iD 💚

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-03-17, version 2.19*

Excellent service. After taking the photos and signing it just needs instructions on which options to select.
