CBP Link Negative Reviews
A family of 4 people, after the update, we cannot enroll in Mexico City.The application has not been working for the third day. Please speed up your update. After the last update 2.43 gives an error that I am far from the border, but the previous version gave me to look for dates from Mexico City. And today the 2.44 update was released, it's a nightmare how long it will last, why it's impossible to find dates after each update. We have to wait so many days and weeks to get a date . Please do everything possible so that everything starts working as soon as possible and you can enter your date without errors. A family of 4 people, after the update, we cannot enroll in Mexico City..Stbov1989Version: 2.44
Really bad to get an appointmentThe app has several bugs that need to be corrected, in our case we are a Cuban family that was stranded in Mexico with 2 minors since December 29, there are 4 of us in total. We have been trying to get an appointment at the border for more than 10 days but it always gives a different error, we have even completed the entire process, and when we finish after capturing even the photo tells us that there is no capacity to serve 4 people. I think they should look for a mechanism to solve those issues or at least prioritize those who, like us, stay in Mexico before January 5..Denek DiazVersion: 2.30

Error to confirm appointmentWhen we finally get to make the appointment at the time of confirming the appointment he says that he doesn’t have enough capacity for one people for one person no matter what day it is or what time it is it always gives a error please fix it is very stressful very frustrating I’ve been trying to get him to get an appointment with my two little girls for several months. I’m stuck in Tijuana and try every day to get this appointment. Please do something or go back to letting the shelters help us like it was done before.FrustreredVersion: 2.41
App Problem/ Photo not capturingI’ve been trying for the last two days to get my photo taken in this app for the Advance travel authorization. There’s always an error message. Unsuccessful/try again. There has to be a better way. People are desperate and can not get their approval until the photo is taken. What is CBP doing about this major problem? It seems like this has been going on for a long time and there’s no solution. I know 8 other people in Haiti experiencing the same problem. This is very disappointing..JJ_YRNVersion: 2.30
Too much to fixThe long and desperate time you have to wait to get an appointment is very exaggerated. since currently there are no old records coming out but new records. It is also unfair that those of us who wait inside the places where we can order do not really receive it and people who are not in Mexico even receive it. I think they should take drastic measures with the application. In this waiting time, many of us are taking risks in Mexican territory. 🙏🏻.JA24.Version: 2.56
Session Expired ERROR!I have applied for some family members located in Venezuela for the Humanitarian Parole. When trying to send the information right after taking the picture the app throws an error stating “SESSION EXPIRED, TRY AGAIN”. We’ve tried over and over and nothing works… I have reached out to CBP through the website asking for help and guidance and no response has been given. THIS IS VERY strange, this app has never had issues like this before. I would really appreciate some help..ZulennissVersion: 2.30

This app needs some detailsThe app has issues and have always had,
it crashes unexpectedly, there’s error that appear randomly, one specifically and I can’t go through it unless I delete the app and download the app again. Why waste my time?

I’m obligated to use this method since it’s the only one for the work..Draculazzz3Version: 2.53.0
This app is atrociousThe app has so many bugs that needs to be fixed. It shouldn’t be this hard to take a simple picture of your face for verification purposed. I’ve been trying for days to get that done and most of the time it is unsuccessful. When it finally allows you to scan the face; it tells you that the session is expired and closes everything. It does not make sense of how difficult this is.. please fix it.MssrpierreVersion: 2.30

No Travel AuthorizationMy family member in Haiti successfully submitted his information since January and he is still waiting to get the travel authorization. I’ve reached out so many times to CBP ONE and still nothing.

SupportI ask developers to enter a captcha before choosing dates, because of the big hype, people have created robots that automatically catch dates, and after being caught they resell the slots.

Could easily become much more useful than it is right nowRight now the app feels more or less like a mobile-friendlier version of the CBP website, with the catch that you have to log in every time you want to use it, even for features that normally don’t require an account. Considering that you do have to log in, what would really make it more useful is if you could save your visas/documents and access them quickly and in one place (as the app’s name implies). For example, when you need proof of having a valid I-94 or want to access your travel history, it would be nice not to have to re-enter your entire details over and over, but have them just available via some sort of dashboard.
I assume that someone had a look at Canada’s ArriveCan and similar apps when planning this, and I think ArriveCan is a perfect example of how a few minor changes could turn this into something far more useful in practice..TalaronVersion: 2.42
