Comments on e-Passport NFC reader for Android

★★★★★ ultimaterex · Feb 17, 2020

Works fine, and it's open source. Shame to see this many bad reviews when they don't understand how to use this. This could be improved using OCR, but apart from that good job.

★★★★★ Roy Badami · Oct 22, 2021

Happy to have an open source reader to safely allow me to test that the chip in my new passport works.

★★★★★ Peter Horsley · Dec 30, 2018

This app works reliably on Australian passports, and its chip-reading functionality can be easily integrated into other apps. Great job!

★☆☆☆☆ Ernie York · Jan 26, 2018

Stupid app which makes you spend ages scrolling back through a calendar month by month to be able to enter expiry and dates of birth, that's 800 odd months to get to my birthday!

★☆☆☆☆ Seksan M. · Oct 6, 2022

NFC not read (it works with other apps), fill all 3 fields, place passport under the phone, but nothing happen!

★☆☆☆☆ Mickael · Oct 27, 2018

You have to select your date of birth using a calendar input. If you are born in the 80, you will have to scroll month by month to 20 plus years ago. Make it so we can type in the date of birth field! I don't have the time to scroll through 30 years month by month

★☆☆☆☆ Haider Zainy · May 27, 2019

It does not work, and I suspect it is designed to steel your passport details
