## Description

Kentucky Mobile ID is a private, secure, contactless way to verify your identity on your phone, usable anywhere an ID is accepted. It uses biometric or PIN protection so only your Face ID, Touch ID, or a six-digit PIN can unlock and reveal your Mobile ID.

Getting started is simple: download the app, verify your phone number, scan the front and back of your driver license or ID card, capture a selfie, and enable app security. Note that Kentucky Mobile ID is a state-issued ID that serves as a companion to your physical ID; not all entities can verify it, so you should continue carrying your physical ID.

## Review summary

User feedback is mixed. Some report easy registration and successful ID capture, with a path toward Apple Wallet. However, many reviews highlight serious usability problems: blur/focus errors on front and back captures, auto-capture with no manual control, repeated scanning failures requiring restarts, and a clunky UX from lens limitations. Several call the app not ready for prime time and note inconsistent performance across devices. A few users prefer sticking with the physical ID until significant improvements are made.

### Pros

- Some users report easy registration and successful initial ID capture on the first try.
- Described as an official state ID app with potential Apple Wallet integration.
- Selfie verification can work after a few attempts and is similar to Face ID.
- A subset of reviews say the app looks fine and works fairly well, with quick transitions.

### Cons

- Blur/focus issues prevent capturing the ID (front and back) with frequent 'blur detected' messages.
- Repeated scanning failures and restarts; many users cannot complete enrollment.
- Auto-capture with no manual control and camera limitations (no zoom, main lens only) degrade photo quality and UX.
- Not clearly or currently integrated with Apple Wallet; steps to add to Wallet are unclear or unavailable.
- Inconsistent performance across devices and sentiment that the app is not ready for prime time.
