ID Photo - Passport Photos

This app does everything I wanted it to do, including advice, helping me position the subject, light adjustment, country-specific image sizing and printing multiple copies to each sheet. I printed them straight from the app to my printer. No fussing with other apps. I chose the option to keep the pic in the app instead of my photo library. Rarely do I find software that is so complete. All good!!

This app is a complete waste of money. The biometric part of it is laughable. It’s just lines drawn on the screen. I feel like I’ve been scammed.

There are quite a few bugs with this app that make it only marginally functional for its intended purpose. I kept encountering weird UI issues with part of the screen going black and the top navigation bar being lower on the screen than it should be, covering other elements. Far worse, however, is that the resulting photos sometimes didn't match the live preview. In other words, I'd be perfectly lined up with the photo overlay and snap the photo, only to have the resulting photo trimmed totally differently. This seemed to happen at random, and as passport photos are a rather exact science, this bug quickly became very aggravating. Additionally, I had issues at first with captured photos not appearing anywhere within the app after being taken as if they didn't save, but after some digging and toying around, I finally made them come up. Even then, you're forced to manually export them from the app into the camera roll; snapping a photo should make it go directly into the camera roll, no questions asked. I ultimately got a single photo that seems to meet the requirements for U.S. passport photos, but even then, I had to bring it into Photoshop and resize it as this app saved the captured image at a strange resolution of 827x827 pixels (a 2"x2" photo, as required for U.S. passports, should be 600x600 pixels at 300 dpi). Not really worth the frustration and manual legwork required.

This could actually be a great app if only it did what it needs to do: be accurate! I started with a high quality portrait import, scaled via this app --- only to find out that the app then chops off significant space on top and arranges pics on paper to maximize output while also ignoring that there are several mm missing on the sides. My careful placement in the mask here translates to four shots on a 4x6" photo print where there is zero space between the top of the head and the top edge of the photo, and there are several mm missing on the left side of the left photos and on the right side of the right photos. In other words: non of the printed shots are usable. I'm not the type who throws a fit over $2 wasted, but this is ridiculous, such a waste of opportunity due to bad programming. If you want to make sure that the Department of State does not reject your photos for non-compliance, better move on. Hopefully there will be an update that fixes this major issue so I can use this app in the future.

Needed passport pics for a European passport and didn't feel like shelling out $50 for all of us. The app was great to help take or crop existing pictures according to the guidelines. Cost under a dollar to have 6 pics each printed for 4 people. Only suggestion is to include imperial measurements for prints for users in the US but that wasn't a big deal. In any case, thanks!
