I've used it in the past (2x) and it worked very well. Unfortunately the Android app is giving me an "Error, Failed to Fetch" when trying to upload a .jpg of my vaccination card this time. Their CS asked me to delete my account, uninstall and reinstall their app - but nothing works. Darn.
Also depending on your device, go to setting for Verfly (Android App Info) and ensure permission has "File and Media"

First time attempting to use Verifly. Submitted my vaccination card for manual approval around 9am Monday morning and still nothing. My trip isn't for another week and a half so I have some time, but a bit annoying. Starting to feel like it'll never get approved, then 2 days before the trip I'll just delete it and restart the process and it'll get approved in an hour or two.
Also, once the vaccination card is approved once, do they need to manually approve it for every trip? For my trip back to the US, it looks like I can't even submit the card for approval until I complete the passenger attestation, which I (understandably) can't do until 3 days before the flight. So if we're looking at a similar timeframe for approval then, I may as well not bother.

VeriFlop indeed.
For trip to BCN, Verifly couldn't handle middle name and was unable to verify either my Swiss or CA digital vaccination cert. Manual verification finally worked and I was able to check-in after validating Spanish Health cert. VeriFlop was totally unable to verify GF's vaccination status, however, first due to the same middle name issue and then manual verification failed because Verifly cs claimed her name wasn't clear on the uploaded image of her digital Swiss certificate (utter nonsense, as it's printed in huge block type).
None of this mattered at all because check-in agent at SFO insisted on seeing all documents, including paper vax certs, despite fact I was already fully verified and checked-in with BPs.
Utterly worthless exercise.

Screenshot your CDC card with the device rotated, clip it in Google Photos to remove aything from the device (e.g. battery bar, signal meter, etc) and try to upload SELECTING it in Google photos. Don't use a 3rd party file picker in Android. Noticed this with some Android apps that some file picker and files in other folders do NOT always upload and get the same error.

I started our VeriFLY applications last week for our trip to France. On 12 Feb France changed the rules and COVID test is not necessary. However, VeriFLY is still asking for COVID Tests. Do they update these or would I have to start all over?

My experience back when the US changed the requirements from 3 days vaxxed/1 day unvaxxed to 1 day for everyone, I had to delete trips and start over.

My wife's test has a UTC date of 00:59 tomorrow. It wouldn't let me use tomorrow's date, so I put in today's date and 00:59 for the test time. It worked too.

VeriFLY
Traveling to the Bahamas and the process to put it nicely is inept. Our family has taken multiple home COVID test and uploaded to VeriFLY app. We keep getting rejected with no information on why or how to resolve. AA tech support said it VeriFLY was a Federal mandate to fly (right), received one email from VeriFLY support and if you call the Fairfax office it rolls to some guy’s voicemail. So I have a ticket that will fly me to my destination, a passport from that country to let me in, but cannot check in for my flight. Oh and AA will do a COVID test for $119 when you can get them free from every local town. No worries our flight is in 12 hrs and 9 minutes

Good question. We used QuickVue and they used CareStart. They ask you to put your name, DOB and time of text on the picture. Did that for QuickVue in the picture we sent. CareStart had an app that generates you a credit card or passport. There just needs to be a better process or if AA is going to roll it out needs to do better customer focus groups and provide information. Could not imagine if someone who has a paper ticket was trying to navigate the process

Verifly vs. 24h from embarkation
Hi everyone,
My mother is flying to Brazil tomorrow, connecting through JFK. She got her negative test today, less than 24h from the first flight, but more than 24h from the international leg. Is there any way of adding that flight so Verifly works? It only let me add the international leg but not the first flight.
Thanks!
