### 2/5 — Processus très lourd

*2025-10-08, version 3.2.1*

Pas vraiment fluide comme système. Il y a plus efficace.

### 2/5 — Authenticating my device was the worst experience

*2025-10-03, version 3.2.1*

Tried 3 times to authenticate the device. This after spending time uploading passport, scanning face, etc. authentication at the  end was an epic fail. I received the email but not the text verification code. The AI chat sucked. Fortunately there is a human helpline and they gave me a manual code. What they didn’t give me was my time back.

### 3/5 — Poor user experience

*2025-10-01, version 3.2.1*

I got some meaningless error like “Your connection is not secure”. After I call support and tell about this error in a minute they ask if I have iOS devise, told me that this is known issue and asked me to update the app. Why don’t include this info to the help center and useless chatbot?
Why chat bot can’t escalate the issue to a live agent after 5 unsuccessful interactions and direct asks to talk to human?

### 3/5 — It didnt accept Romanian ID

*2025-09-29, version 3.2.1*

It worked with passport NFC but it’s not fair not to accept the national ID. It needs improvement. Otherwise a nice secure app!

### 4/5 — Good app and service

*2025-07-30, version 3.1.0*

The app is easy to use and de technical support call me for help to login. a very nice man.

### 1/5 — Schrott

*2025-06-25, version 3.0.0*

Immer wäre irgendwas falsch. Taugt nichts. Bessere App gefunden

### 4/5 — Great but ID card is not supported

*2025-06-11, version 2.28.1*

The app is smooth, however its biggest issue is that when I tried to us my national ID card, it was rejected on the grounds of not being supported

### 2/5 — Crashes often

*2025-05-29, version 2.28.1*

It needs several attempts to authenticate almost each time

### 4/5 — Easy way to sign via fingerprint

*2025-05-16, version 2.28.1*

Didn't allow Romanian ID as verification, had to use EU passport

### 1/5 — Very poor experience

*2025-04-29, version 2.27.1*

Spent ten minutes to go through all steps and then email code is not sent. Trying resending same. Put the app in the background to retry later and all data session was erased. I need to start from scratch again.

### 1/5 — Poor UI/UX

*2025-03-20, version 2.27.0*

Non-intuitive process with no confirmation of the steps between the app and the online service that needed authentication.  Very confusing and had to do the transaction 3x….. oh and I had to wait 2 hours as the server was down for maintenance which meant I had to ask the online service to resend the authentication request. Avoid if you possibly can

### 1/5 — Total faolure

*2025-03-19, version 2.27.0*

Worst digital onboarding app I have ever used, unnecessary complex, time consuming, non predictable, very low accuracy

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don’t support RealID

*2026-04-24, version 3.5.1*

I am required to use his app and just spent ten-twenty minutes trying to get it to accept an Oregon RealID. I tried using studio lights, natural lights, using polarized filters, different positions for the ID and angles for the light. Nothing worked.

### 1/5 — Registration is a nightmare

*2026-03-20, version 3.4.0*

User interface and process is amateurish, error prone and illogical. I’d give it zero stars if possible. Also, does not support SMS to a US phone number.

### 1/5 — /

*2025-10-08, version 3.2.1*

/

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-10-06, version 3.2.1*

This application is practically unusable. It’s riddled with bugs to the point that there are more errors than working features, making it impossible to rely on for any real tasks.

### 1/5 — Very poor experience

*2025-10-02, version 3.2.1*

Cumbersome and way too complex steps that need to be followed, not to mention it does not recognize national ids of all EU countries.
Very good when you have a lot of time and no ideea how to spend it…

### 1/5 — First time rating a service with 1 star

*2025-09-30, version 3.2.1*

The service is badly designed with confusing documentation. It took me two days to sign a document, and I needed an NFC ID despite the website saying other IDs work for my country. The app is slow and shows unclear messages, like saying my ID is validated before giving instructions and asking for a video recording.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-09-29, version 3.2.1*

The app takes a lot of time to complete the steps and ends up saying you have to redo the process. Could benefit from a makeover and simpler process.

### 1/5 — Does not work most of the time

*2025-09-24, version 3.2.1*

Signing works like 1 in 5 attempts if you are lucky. Extremely annoying and frustrating

### 1/5 — You know it's bad when

*2025-09-09, version 3.2.0*

You have to spend over an hour trying to get out of a Kafka-esque maze just to sign a single one page form. 

This is clearly not-ready-for- primetime technology that should not be used by banks or anyone else with mission critical signatures to process. 

Their passport scan is not accurate enough, so you just have to keep redoing it until finally it works. The first time, I think it took over 10 tries. The second time, it took a lot more.

There is no real-time feedback on this. You have to get all the way through the process and then you get rejected at the very end after going through all the steps. 

The app turns on your phone's camera light, which creates a lot of glare. The app also does not send SMS messages reliably, which is why I had to call tech-support so many times. They know this so they just give you the codes over the phone. 

I also absolutely hate that you have to have FaceTime turned on. I normally have it turned off for privacy reasons.

### 1/5 — Does not allow to register

*2025-07-09, version 3.0.0*

Does not allow to register with Czech permanent residence card

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Ideal solution for digital signature

*2025-10-14, version 3.2.1*

I love using it. Super easy and intuitive. You got to switch from Firefox to Safari as it didn’t work for me on first browser but those are details. Strongly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great tool

### 5/5 — What an amazing product!

*2025-03-13, version 2.27.0*

I need to do a qualified signature overnight and I couldn’t find any solution until I stumbled upon Zeal ID. This tool is a miracle, it does the job perfectly well is very simple to use and there’s nothing missing. It’s a perfect solution for qualified signature.

### 5/5 — Super nástroj na zaručený osobní certifikát - podpis

*2025-03-03, version 2.27.0*

Lze udělat vše na dálku, tedy i ze zahraničí 👍což jsem využil.
