## Description

Iowa Mobile ID provides a contactless, secure way to verify your identity on your iPhone, with privacy controls and selective data sharing. It serves as an official state-issued ID companion and can verify age without exposing birth date or address.

Verification is available via selfie match or device PIN, Touch ID, or Face ID, and setup takes five simple steps. This app is a companion to your physical ID, and you should continue carrying your physical ID where required. Requires iPhone 6s (iOS 14) or newer.

## Review summary

Overall sentiment is negative with some brief positives. Repeated issues include back-ID scanning failures (blur detection), frequent app crashes and setup errors, and poor cross-device/OS compatibility (notably iPhone 14/16 and iOS updates). Users also report no option to add to Apple Wallet and difficult enrollment requiring nose-dot alignment. A few reviews note the app works for airports and that when it does function, it performs well.

### Pros

- Front of ID scans successfully (in at least some attempts).
- App reportedly usable for airports (TSA) in certain scenarios.
- When it works, it works well.
- Perceived functionality comparable to other government systems (Iowa) when operational.

### Cons

- Back-of-ID scanning is unreliable, with blur/detection errors reported across multiple attempts.
- Frequent crashes and setup/initialization issues, including after updates and reinstallation.
- No option to add to Apple Wallet / lack of wallet integration.
- Compatibility issues with newer iPhones/OS versions (e.g., iPhone 14/16 and iOS updates) causing focus, stability, or usage problems.
- Difficult enrollment requiring nose-dot alignment and other gesture-based prompts.
