Would give zero stars if I could The app functions as promised but poses the potential for violations of human decency and privacy. Screenshots can be taken of the card once scanned and any layman off the street can have access to private government information about someone other than themselves. Developer, do better. App Store, I know your guidelines. This is still unacceptable.
Fear-mongering comments on zero basis Most of the negative comments must be from people with fake residence cards hence the outcry because it will be harder for them to use fakes.
In order for this app to work you need to pass your card to another person eg employer/ hotel which would take a scan / copy of the card regardless of this app’s existence. It changes nothing in regards to copying as it would have been done otherwise. Solution: don’t give your card to anyone. Also some stranger needs to see the card and enter the number to even access it aka you give it to the .
The app only reads what is already visually visible on the card. So nothing new here.
The only thing it does it verifies if it’s a fake Or not.
Monitoring every foreigner - what do you think immigration bureau does?
My question is : what is the security for potential hacker attacks to the databases, did this app open new pathways? The databases are there regardless of this app existence but a potential pathway may have been made
Almost people are misunderstand I’m Japanese and my wife is a foreigner. I thought that many foreigners made bad reviews, however, the app gets the residence card on both sides informations from the ic chip with Japanese immigration digital certificate. And its purpose is to check an illegal worker (by the employer, etc). For it must have been needing a serial number on a card. Therefore, if anyone doesn't know that serial numbers, never work. 私は日本人で、妻は外国人です。 多くの外国人が悪い評価をしたと思いましたが、アプリは入管のデジタル証明書付きICチップから在留カードの両面情報を取得します。 そしてその目的は(雇用主などによる)違法な労働者をチェックすることです。 動作には、在留カードの固有番号が必要なので、誰かがその固有番号を知らない場合は、アプリは機能しません。
