Ratings and reviews

Tried to scan my (valid) German travel passport. Result: "Document type not supported". Their website and the SCHUFA website say it is supported. Reproduced it on different devices and in the browser. Uff.

Impossible to clear the selfie part. Tried with multiple devices, takes blurry pictures no matter what. Useless!

Frustrating experience with IDnow. First tried the PC app - stuck in waiting for over half an hour. Tried again. Turned out to be impossible to read the small print on my ID, hence they stopped the process and asked me to install the phone app. That one gave me an error message, asking me to use the PC app. Had to go with (physical) PostIdent instead.
