About this app

The official CBP ROAM App (formerly OARS) from U.S. Customs and Border Protection allows pleasure boaters and other eligible travelers who arrive at remote locations to report their arrival online. In addition to submitting a report of arrival, pleasure boaters who are not currently enrolled in a Trusted Traveler Program, Local Boater Option, or I-68 program who are currently required to report in person may be eligible for a video inspection.
Disclaimer: This is a pilot version only for use in limited areas. Contact your local Port of Entry for guidance.
Create a trip by adding travelers, your mode of travel, your location, and contact information.
After you submit a trip, you may receive a push notification on your device to start a video chat with a CBP Officer to finish reporting your entry into the United States.

Note: In order to use this application, the Android device’s operating system needs to be Android 4.4 (KitKat) or above

After 5 Outdoors
September 4, 2024
Well it was great while it lasted. the app is stuck in the processing screen. I've Uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times. still the same. It's a great idea, but it could and SHOULD be a bulletproof app, and it is not that. Update××× For most of 2024 the app began working perfectly again. Now again in Sept 2024, the app has been changed a little and now does not work again...

Updated 24 Jun. The recent update seems to have fixed the location bug. This is a useful and welcome system and I'm thankful that it's working again. (Review from before update:Completely defective. Used to work on Android 8 but will not access location on Pie. Says access to location is denied, which it is most definitely not. CBP people don't really know how the app works. Today I was asked about a float plan, a festure discontinued a year ago. A nice try, I guess.)

Doesn't seem like the app was well thought out or tested. The text describing password requirements did not correctly describe that a strong password was needed. An email with confirmation link is sent, a text with one time code is then sent, and a guid-like security code is finally sent to register the device. The text control to enter the security code is very buggy, cursor jumped all around. And finally, you gotta save the code if you ever need to register another device. Haven't tried to report in yet, but, for the time being, I am saving the call in number.
