Not user-friendly for non-technical people. Support is not helpful. I was told by support that I needed to allow the app on my firewall, and that: "we only provide support for the AusweisApp, and we cannot offer you comprehensive support in configuring your end devices or your network." I added the exception, but that is not enough. We must create specific inbound and outbound rules on Advanced Security. I found that on their documentation, without the support assistance.

Thank you for your feedback. We always strive to provide the best possible support to users and find the best solution. We apologize for not being able to help you. We also recommend consulting the manufacturer's help pages. Unfortunately, we can only offer limited support there.

complicated as other German apps. If you changed your id card , it's complicated to register a new one. I had to delete the data of the app to register a new id card. update: I had to delete the data of the app on my phone.
