This app is mediocre. I can scan the page but I get a big fail on the chip scan.

UA app manages to scan passports with camera without need for a nonfunctional 3rd party app - not sure why AS can’t do the same.Also UA retains the info in my account so I don’t need to scan again. Not sure why this is too difficult for AS.

also not sure what this means for checkin. can I get a BP on the AS app or will I need to wait in line at the airport to get the BP if I don’t use this stupid app?

Very disappointing and poor rollout

Addendum: finally got it to work after about 10 tries scanning chip and holding phone at weird angle each time. Same for Mrs. B. Good advice about removing phone cover.
