I'm not very good with tech usually, but this app gives simple instructions in plain language, which even the unrelenting Luddite can manage without swearing!

Step-by-step instructions are clear. Scan of passport photo page and biometric chip work smoothly, but the selfie face scan took multiple attempts with the scan starting and stopping before eventually capturing. Unclear if you need to retain app in your phone after successfully proving identity first time.

Instructions are easy to follow and no issue while using. Great app

Useless!!! Asks to be connected with a QR code, impossible to find QR code.

Like others, it seems, I am stuck in a loop trying to install the app. Have just given up and opted to have a letter sent to me by companies house which I'll then need to take to a post office to prove I am me.

Half the pages present technical problems and trying to resolve them just sends you on an endless loop to other pages that do nothing

Horrendous. Gave up. Quite happy to take subscription. How elderly people deal with this is ridiculous. I only wanted to check my pension age forecast. Codes are codes and more. Not explained well

Did not store my credentials. I have to do it again and there are numerous erros.
