Tried using that App and it can't read it. I think the chip has gone. It's annoying. I think from reading the Global Entry docs that I can just log in to portal somewhere and change my passport number so might consider applying for a new replacement passport. For the US and non-Europe/UK it's fine as a human check it's just the gates it doesn't work with now...
