The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) app from U.S. Customs and Border Protection allows Nationals of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries to apply and pay for a travel authorization without a visa. The ESTA app is a mobile version of the ESTA application process and information that can also be found on the ESTA website at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov.
The ESTA app currently has two features available: Apply for New Individual Application and Search for Existing Application.
• The “GET STARTED” feature allows travelers to create a new ESTA application, pay for the ESTA and submit the application to be processed by the system to determine if they are eligible to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program without a visa. The system will provide the traveler with an automated response.
• The “FIND IT” feature allows travelers to check the status of their existing ESTA application..
CBP recommends that you apply for ESTA at the time you book your travel, but no less than 72 hours prior to boarding.

I wish it would tell me I didn’t need an estaI live in a country that doesn’t need an esta. I did not know this. Got stuck when it wouldn’t allow me to pick a country of citizenship. The first thing should be to ask for country of origin..GnfieicnfjdVersion: 1.5.0

ESTA Mobile Negative Reviews
Drop downsMany fields are required to fill in before proceeding, but either the field is pre-populated with the information from the picture and the app doesn’t register that the field is already populated or there is no keyboard and only a drop down menu with limited choices. For example, the app requires you to input your nationality, but only 10-15 countries pop up. I cannot choose the correct country because it is not on the drop down menu therefore I cannot proceed with the application process..OhmesoTorieVersion: 1.13.0
Only EnglishThere is no apparent way to change the language from English from where the app opens up. How do you expect people to use it? There is a lot of advanced English here, even somebody with some proficiency is not going to be able to use the app. But as a taxpayer, I’ve come to expect nothing more than mediocrity from our government..Sloppy7thsVersion: 1.3.33
Kind of ok.App works ok. Trouble with scanning chip in passport . Had to try over and over.
Trouble changing the O that the scan read into a small o that is actually on the passport. Not sure if this difference will bring problems at the border check….Eef100zVersion: 1.14.0
Pretty RedundantIt doesn’t do anything that web page doesn’t. I was hoping it would at least allow people to add their ESTA to their wallet so they didn’t have to print it to show at customs..RodinaStaianoVersion: 1.3.33
Can’t even do basic functionalityDrop downs don’t work to fill out the forms. the camera scan took MANY attempts. never was able to complete the process and i tried 3 times..BsteegsVersion: 1.13.0
It doesn’t work the cameraCan’t scan passport because it don’t open the camera to do it. There is no option to grant access to the camera. Useless app..PonkusVersion: 1.3.28
Omg terribleDon’t read the exacts information from your passport and the procedure it’s confusing and terrible. I made it online in 10 minutes. So don’t waist your time with this app please.MotankaoberegVersion: 1.11.0
Doesn’t workIt doesn’t give me the option to choose my country of origin (United States) but says I can’t proceed until I pick a country. So I’m stuck and can’t progress..Daniel is stuckVersion: 1.13.0
Too tough on app with kidsThis is far too complicated now. My daughter is a British citizen and shouldn’t have to go through this in transit to the Uk with a direct return flight..NickCD1974Version: 1.13.0
Scan don’t workScanning the top of the passports don’t work. Error is given every time..-:NoOne:-Version: 1.4.0

It’s ok if you have all details with you…Surely after finding your ESTA you should be able to save it within the app so you don’t need to keep submitting all relevant details to find it. Seems pointless?.Big_Nev_EFCVersion: 1.3.33
App doesn’t workAfter scanning my passport, the app disabled the drop down menu to select my citizenship, preventing me from continuing..RyanSammanVersion: 1.3.33
App brokenDrop down for required field nationality doesn’t work - cannot go to the next step.
Also another drop down doesn’t have “Canada” so I can’t even select the correct country for myself..Yuhanlin08Version: 1.14.0
