CBP ROAM 4+

This app is great for local boaters here in the USVI and Puerto Rico. Very easy to use and add travelers. The video chat to clear in works really well and the officers very professional and good to work with.

Still a few bugs:
When logging in you get a text message pin#, but you need to switch apps to read the text message. It works okay using the home button to switch, but if you use the text notification to switch it gives you a blank screen when you return to Roam,

It would be good to remain logged in for a period of time after using roam. Each time you exit out you need to go through the entire login procedure again. Or even better - use the finger print recognition to log in quickly.

At just how stupid this app is. I’m coming in on a commercial flight and want to report my pending arrival. The app won’t let me report unless I give the pilot’s name and information. Now, just how many passengers on a commercial airliner know the name and immigration information of the pilot? BUT the app won’t let you report without it. Oh, well, that’s helpful. They want to know the flight number. My flight number has a letter in it, but the app doesn’t let you put letters in. They want to know the tail number of the aircraft. How the heck do I know? I’m sitting in a hotel or in the terminal or on the plane! Obviously this app was only made for illegals to break into the country with the government’s blessing, not for citizens.

Downloaded on iPhone 13 and got a version that has two options “Report Arrival” and “Report Cruising Port of Call” which allows me to select “Report Cruising Port of Call” and report my current anchorage or port but I can’t get the same version on the new phone just purchased. The updated version provided on the App Store keeps downloading an incomplete or old version and there doesn’t se to be a way to update. The old version treats you like a new traveler entering the US! Very frustrating!! It’s a five star when it works like it should.
