BlinkID: ID & passport scanner

This app collects all the data, including images from the selfie camera while you are scanning the app, and sends it off to their servers for storage. In today’s day and age, you absolutely do not need to send images to servers for them to be processed. If you are looking for an app that securely stores the information of your passports — this ain’t it. Props for the app dev for not hiding this information, and being very open about what this app does. But -2 stars for not really doing what literally the first photo states this app does: securely storing information (personally: I assume On Device, when it comes to such sensitive information). No offense, but I don’t trust you with my information on your servers.

My ID says that I am a driver but who knows maybe it is?

All images are processed on their servers. They also take selfie pictures (activating the front camera) during use. These images are also sent to their server. Check their privacy policy. DO NOT USE. "Please note that while you are interacting with the App and scanning images with the rear camera, the App is capturing your images with the front-facing camera. While using the App, images are retained and processed on Microblink servers unless the App is used without a network connection."

App has trouble scanning using a brand new iPhone 14 pro. Clean lenses. California drivers license is placed on the table. It scans the front. But does not scan the back with barcode. Also does not scan passport. With my 2020 iPad Pro 12.9” it scanned the ID but it did not scan the passport either. Maybe allow us to switch cameras on iPhone pro to get a better image?

I have tried several times to take photos of my 2 ID’s. And the app will not even open my camera. So thank goodness this was a free app!

برنامج روعة وخدمي للغاية

I don’t see how this could get 5 stars. It FLAT out doesn’t work.

Great app loving being able to have everything on my phone, just missing one thing. Wish it was locked when you open the app. Wish you could use faceID or touchID or passcode to keep items secure. If someone had my phone they could just open the app and see everything

All it takes is one data breach and all of your sensitive information, documents, IDs, and whatever else you uploaded to this app is available on the dark web for purchase by the highest bidder. This app is based out of Iceland, and is not affiliated with any US state or US government entity, so think hard before giving up your personal identity to a random app on the App Store.

I just downloaded it on October 12th 2021 and I right on kept all my documents in this app, works perfectly. thanks to the creators.
