This app is completely useless. It demands the pictures in the wrong order, telling you to take a selfie, instead of a picture of a passport, but the selfie camera is disabled for PP photos. Then every photo is wrong -- completely plain, white backgrounds are too "decorated", you're too close or too far (from the same distance), "your face is slightly in profile" (when it's not), and "this is only a preview after processing" (WTB does that even mean?!?) Garbage. Negative stars.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. For some products, selfie mode cannot be enabled. The photo is then processed automatically with AI, which suggests improvements. Finally, after payment, a human review is carried out to validate the photo or offer you a free retake.

Just keep getting photos rejected. 25 in all and still haven't gotten a refund. Now I need to pay someone else for photos. Smh So much for convenience. I have used my cell, laptop, and tablet as well as having someone take my photo. I'm yelling stop thief at the top of my lungs.

Do not use. This app will take your money and give you a photo that immediately doesn't pass UK GOV website basic validation and they won't answer any of your messages for support. Scam. Avoid!
