Customer Reviews
Best app and time-saver ever. Period.
I downloaded this app based on ads for it while waiting in line to clear customs at JFK yesterday. Download and setup time took about 5 minutes total. Once I was registered (it even scans your passport with the camera for instant data load to the app to make even quicker), my fiancé and I jumped into the "mobile passport control" line that was the same line used by diplomats. We had no one in front of us. They even lifted the rope for us like diplomats at customs and we created our own two person line and were called by customs agents next (felt like a diamond medallion member checking in at delta). We cleared passport control, picked up checked bags, AND cleared customs in literally less than 15 minutes without waiting in a single line (we also got lucky how quickly our bags came off the flight). Saved at least 2+ hours based on how crazy the lines looked. I would recommend this app 6 stars if possible and higher than any app I've ever used before. You are making a huge mistake if you do not use this app!
This app won me Wife Of The Year!
We were facing a line 300 deep at the Denver Intl this evening on our return from Belize just to get through the kiosks and go downstairs and do it again for the customs agents. I saw a sign indicating Global Access and Mobile Passport holders could circumvent the lines and be expedited through. I had set everything up a month or so ago on another trip but never used it since Oakland didn't use it. I had forgotten all about it! I whipped out my phone, quickly answered the questions and got our receipt. We jumped out of the long line, went downstairs and through an expedited line for an agent. The wait was less than 10 minutes. We were through in less than 20 minutes total (including the time we spent in the main line before I figured out we were good to go with Mobile Passport! This is the best thing since TSA Pre✅! My husband was mightily impressed- thank you!!
Worked well; suggestions for developer
I entered my data while still on the plane, while offline. But you cannot save it or submit it, the app does not let you. Once the plane landed, I had to hurry to reenter all the data, I barely had enough time while being busy with collecting my carry on. The screens are confusing with too much text and poorly designed user interface. Every screen has a different layout, inconsistent logic. Do the people who designed it actually tested it while traveling? The app is still a huge plus, at least at SFO because the line at the mobile pass was one-person long, while the alternative was probably a couple hundred people in line at the self service kiosks and then another line for the actual border officer.
Improvements are needed!!! Anybody listening? Can you guys run an actual user study?
