User Reviews

Users report that AusweisApp Bund sometimes works as advertised after initial setup, and some users value its cross-device sync with the iPhone app. However, the majority of reviews criticize persistent reliability issues, difficult setup, Rosetta/Apple Silicon compatibility, NFC reading failures, and limited passport/abroad support.

Pros

When it finally works, the app performs reliably and matches what is advertised.
Synchronizes easily with the iPhone app, enabling a smoother cross-device workflow.
For some users, it enables access to government services that require the eID and is functioning as intended.

Cons

Unreliable connection between the ID card and the device; frequent disconnects and read failures.
Setup is overly complex and confusing, with cryptic instructions and inconsistent steps between Mac and iPhone.
Requires Rosetta / not native Apple Silicon; effectively Intel-only and not ready for Apple Silicon.
NFC reading often fails and PIN/PUK handling is error-prone.
Limited support for non-German passports and abroad usage; only German eID is supported.

Recent reviews

I got it to work ONCE after many attempts to pair. Most of the time it doesn't pair and yes, both devices are on the same network. I tried several networks including hotspot. After pairing, it worked once, then never again. Removed pairing, then it woulnd't pair again. The instructions what to do if the device doesn't appear are useless. Complete trash, can't believe the government releases such garbage.
