## Review summary

The IDnow AutoIdent app is easy to start but struggles with reliability and privacy concerns. Reviewers report frequent verification failures, requiring many attempts with incomplete progress, and some resets to the start. Privacy worries emphasize potential improper data handling and intrusive data collection (including 3D facial scans). Document type errors (passport not accepted) and non-German ID support issues add to user frustration. A minority note a positive experience and ease of use, but the overall sentiment is negative.

### Pros

- Easy to use / simple to navigate
- Fast and efficient for identity checks
- Some reviews describe a positive user experience (e.g., strong emphasis on usability)

### Cons

- App frequently fails to verify identity / requires many retries and restarts
- Significant privacy and data-security concerns (fear of data misuse; intrusive data collection; mentions of 3D facial scans)
- Document type not accepted / passport not accepted
- No progress is saved / cannot resume progress
- Unstable / unreliable and confusing guidance for non-German IDs
