1. 5/5Best Time Saving app

   This is the BEST little know app EVER that will save you time at the airport, and that’s coming from an airline employee of over 5 years. It was amazing the estimated wait time was almost 2 hours or more for the regular person who doesn’t have a Global Entry Number. That said when your traveling through an entry point city that the worlds largest airline uses as one of their international hubs and just want to get through the Customs and Border Protection line at the airport when entering These United States, you have go to download this app !!! You can choose to have it save your passport information, or you can have it rest each time your forms for entry expire, all you have to do is take a clear picture of yourself, and a picture of your passport and enter your flight information and then fill out the quick standard entry question, and then the app auto fills out the correct entry forms for you and your entire family who might be traveling with you. Then you pick up your checked baggage (if you have any), and lastly start looking for the signage for the line for electronic entry. I will say this global entry was way way longer then this apps line and that is supposed to be the timesavers line for frequent international travelers, and this app allowed us to even cut in front of them without having to pay for anything!!!

2. 5/5A must use to skip the line at ATL airport!

   This app is easy to use, streamlines the immigration process, and saves a ton of time! You literally skip the regular line and are out of there in minutes! I was traveling back from the Caribbean with my two daughters. While I was in flight, I added my two daughters’ and my passport information quickly by using the app’s scan feature for each traveler, which auto populates the passport info when you hold your passport in front of the camera of the phone. We each also took a selfie to accompany the passport information. As a final step, as soon as we landed, I filled out the required questionnaire by adding my arriving airport and terminal (in my case, ATL terminal E) and answering a few customs related questions. I then submitted the form, which generated a barcode receipt good for 4 hours. Only one form is required for all passengers traveling together, which is great! When we arrived at the immigration line, we went to the line that said mobile passport where the agent walked us straight to the front of the LONG line! No joke, our wait time was 5 minutes! Even my daughter commented, “Did we just skip the line?!” When we got to the window, the agent examined our passports, scanned our mobile passport barcode, and we were on our way! If your airport participates, save yourself time, and use this app! You will not regret it! It’s awesome! Just make sure not to submit the form until you land. If you want to get a head start, the app allows you to save the completed form and just hit submit when you are at the airport. I didn’t complete the form until we landed, so I submitted it right away, but it was so quick and easy, I was done by the time the plane taxied to the gate.

3. 2/5The new Mobile Passport Control app is NOT good

   It may be coincidence, but with the retirement of the Airside app, it seems that immigration control at fewer and fewer airports are processing the Mobile Passport Control receipt. Instead of getting the expedited service we users formerly received, we are being dumped into the same long lines all other travelers (many very unfamiliar with the basics) are using. The result is a very substandard experience and excessive processing time — hardly what we had grown to expect from the program when originally launched. At the very least, those airports that have removed the receipt scanners and don’t provide dedicated servicing for Mobile Passport should be removed from the “port of entry” list. Leaving them in there sets a false expectation that we will be able to use the app and get through quickly. Today I nearly missed a connection at O’Hare because the airport refuses to use the app (even though they show up on the list). It seems to be a locally-driven decision. Even better would be to mandate the use of the system at all major US gateway airports. It used to provide a useful alternative for those of us who travel frequently, but don’t live near a major airport where we can schedule a Global Entry interview (and go through that ponderous bureaucratic process). US CBP needs to make up their mind what their mobile strategy is… and then follow through with a consistent and convenient execution of that strategy!

4. 5/5This is the droid you're looking for

   If you've been using the Mobile Passport app and, like me, have seen it saying lately that it will no longer relay your information to U.S. Home Customs & Border Patrol (CBP), it's time to cancel your subscription to Mobile Passport, delete that app, and download this one. CBP MPC is the official and up-to-date replacement for the Mobile Passport app. And I'm not positive yet, but it's looking to me like this one doesn't even require a subscription to do what Mobile Passport did (and more, I think). The only thing I haven't figured out how to do in this app is to add my Known Traveler Number (KTN). I've submitted a question about that through the Customer Support menu item and will see what they say. And if you *haven't* been using the Mobile Passport app but are looking for an electronic repository for your passport and a paperless means of filling out the forms necessary for entry into the U.S. and/or Canada, this is the app you're looking for too. It's the official one, put out by the Department of Homeland Security and all that jazz, and not some third-party thing that adds an unnecessary link to the chain of communication. Enjoy. 🙂👍🏻

5. 1/5Mobile Entry Issue

   I use mobile entry for my husband and I for a return trip from Cancun Mexico. Everything was filled out and confirmed, ready to be submitted along with the barcode. Upon entry, I was told that the barcode only would admit my husband. In reviewing the mobile entry ticket, I confirmed that there were two travelers, one of which was myself. Both of our pictures were submitted as well as confirmation that we were both traveling from Mexico. I was told that only my husband was listed on the mobile application and I would have to fill out a manual form and get out of line. After being stuck on the tarmac for three hours by American Airlines in Philadelphia, I thought that using the mobile entry would make things easier and it was very frustrating to be told that it was not accurate. I need to understand why the mobile entry ticket confirmed that there were two travelers, both my husband and myself and the agent told me that only my husband could use it for entry. the agent told me “I’m not trying to be a jerk” but you are not coming up on the barcode. My husband and I travel often and I thought this would be the way to go, however, after this incident, I’m very frustrated, especially when I have confirmation that we were both listed as travelers. My advice is to fill out the paper form as back up in case the same thing happens to you. Thank goodness there was another agent that spotted my frustration and intervened and helped me through because I was very close to breaking down in tears in frustration. I wish I would’ve gotten his badge number to submit a compliment.

3. 1/5

   Good idea, poor execution. What's the point of this if airports don't set it up to actually save time with it. Regular line has been faster every single time I fly back into IAH. Why bother?
