eGovPH 17+

Thanks for finally allowing us Filipinos abroad to make accounts! I’ve been waiting long, but it seems the wait will be worth it. Problem though is verification for the short-sighted: We’re supposed to take selfies… WITHOUT glasses and STILL be able to read when to look forward, right, and left while the phone/camera is at a distance. Perhaps, an option for some audio-instruction will help here. I’ll try verification again soon.

Update #001: Tried again, but passport-recognition can be an issue. Just when I got the shots, the app timed-out and deleted everything.

Update #002: My account is verified! Yeah! (But I got while I got e-mail notifications of my account’s verification failing the 1st few times, I got 0 notice of the verification succeeding this last time, though. Still…) Quite frankly, I’m impressed with how the app works. The interface is well done, and the range of services seems quite good. Keep up the good work, and keep making it even better!

Update#003: Wow, that was a quick-response of an update! I’m the 1st in my family to make an account, so it’s good to know that the rest of my family (who are also near-sighted) will also benefit when they make theirs, due to my tries & your action. Thanks for your work! I’m looking forward to how this great app/resource of/for the Filipino people will develop. Keep up the good work! Excelsior!

Hats off to the team behind this initiative! I feel sense of pride knowing that our beloved country has embarked in this type of access available for all countrymen. As an OFW, this type of app is not new to me and my silent wish to have the same is now a reality. I haven’t explore all aspects of the app but I’m very willing to give it the highest rating because it was a great beginning and looking forward for the improvements in the future.

I commend any country for trying to making exit and entry easier, and this app is a great start, but it still needs a ton of work.

There are SO many bugs. Just a few I’ve experienced: the login PIN I set sometimes doesn't work. The app takes a bunch of passport photos in sequence (so you get three pics before you can press the button, even though you only need one) and doesn’t automatically format it in portrait orientation. My passport photo got rejected because it wasn’t clear enough… even though it was. No idea why the team behind this app rejects passport photos so often. The app wouldn’t let me login with a password or PIN in the airport, but the next time I opened it at home I’m suddenly able to log in via Face ID, no problem. The list goes on.

The app can be a bit confusing to use. Registering travel, for example. It was confusing where to put my birth country versus the country I came from during travel. The dates are weird. It didn’t let me select the actual flight that I came on. Etc. And there needs to be a clear delineation between an entry/exit flight and just registering your passport for the account.

It’s better than how immigration was before, that’s for sure. I was through the immigration queue in a quarter of the time compared to before. Hoping this app irons out the issues to make things as easy as it is when entering other SE Asian countries. Props to the dev team and PH gov on their work so far.
