Con CIE Reader puoi visionare il contenuto della Carta d'Identità Elettronica (v. 3.0) tramite il tuo iPhone dotato di tecnologia NFC (iPhone 7 o successivi). E' sufficiente avvicinare il retro della CIE alla fotocamera dell'iPhone: sarà poi CIE Reader ad occuparsi di leggere ed interpretare il codice MRZ e di connettersi al chip con la connessione NFC. L'App funziona solamente in modalità client, quindi tutti i dati letti resteranno localmente sul tuo iPhone, nulla è inviato a server esterni. Acquistando l'opzione "pro" è inoltre possibile esportare il contenuto in formato json oppure in formato vcard.
