What you can do: Read your identity data Hold your iPhone near your Romanian identity card to securely read your personal data — name, date of birth, address, photo, and handwritten signature.

Sign documents Sign PDF documents using the cryptographic key stored on your identity card chip. The signature is legally valid under Romanian Law 214/2024 for private contracts, employment agreements, rental contracts, and commercial documents.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: EidKit App at every 2 weeks against Shiny Tracker's monthly. Shiny Tracker's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
