Comments on RO CEI Reader for Android

★★★★★ Dan · Jul 3, 2026

Reads the card correctly IF you know your short PIN code, IF your phone has an NFC reader and IF you know how to use it. No problems with it whatsoever. The app doesn't seem to do anything else, but what it does works exactly how I want it to. What might have been helpful is an image showing where to find the CAN code, in case people forgot. The ability to display the pin code while it's being entered is a common feature on password fields nowadays, but this app doesn't allow it. But it works.

★★★★☆ Beonos · Oct 1, 2026

It has taken me a while but I figurated out how you need to position the ID for the app to scan it properly, it needs to be on the upper back of the phone with front not back of the ID (the cei needs to be around of the middle up) and the ID needs to not be moved at all while the app scans it

★☆☆☆☆ Burlacu Ninel · Sep 21, 2026

Useless app on Android. It doesn't work, entered the correct pin and 6 digit combination correctly, but it doesn't read the card although NFC works just fine.

★☆☆☆☆ Oprescu Virgil · Jun 15, 2026

Gives constant error about holding the card stil, can't be used. It worked 2 months ago when I read another CEI.

★☆☆☆☆ kuo · Jul 13, 2026

It doesn't work. Ever since I got my new ID, I haven't been able to scan it once. I understand that this is new, but I really do wish they worked harder on polishing the NFC reader. It always gives me a communication error, and I can't use it.

★☆☆☆☆ robinson jimmi · Jul 8, 2026

Doesn't work. I tried everything: NFC ON, but nothing happens. Don't understand why such a useless app was developed. It seems it was created only because Rom. Had to comply with EU digitalization requirements and spend the available funding. Unfortunately, instead of providing a working digital service, the app appears to have been designed in a way that keeps people dependent on clerks and physical offices. Since it doesn't work as intended, it defeats the entire purpose of digitalization
