I have personally used it on UK passports of that vintage, so there is no software problem.
If you haven't already, you should try the passport in different positions.
Also, when decrypting passport data, it can take as long as 30 seconds, and you have to hold it very still. I place the passport on a table, and the phone on top. This way there is no motion.
