Using LPR / GC at APC
At SFO the APC kiosks are open for citizens and LPRs. We were trying APC kiosk for first time and couldn't get our LPRs to work on it.
Somehow instructions were misleading or confused us, showing barcode (on backside) to be upside. There was a assistant who was just directing people whom we informed that it didn't work and we need to do just get it processed with the CBP agent and she just directed us to the line instead of trying herself (even though we should have tried it ourselves by reversing the side).
The CBP processed us and when we mentioned about the APC scanning issue, he indicated the LPR card barcode should be at bottom. we just indicated it was bit confusing since images out there showed barcode side being up.
Not sure if any LPRs had similar experience first time. Will be a while before we try it again next time.

You're confusing Automated Passport Control, the kiosks that scan your passport(/Green Card) and allow you to answer customs questions, with Mobile Passport Control, the smartphone app that allow you to enter passport details+customs questions on your phone.
