Hi Tareq,
Thank for leaving a review.
Having a look at your case, our agent did manage it properly. When a check comes back as 'UNPERFORMABLE' you need to either start again or re do the check.
Allowing you to do the check again is not Yoti's responsibility, it relies on your employer/screening company. They should send you a new link for you to start over. Which is what our agent advised you to do.
We hope this clarifies the matter.
Take care!

We're sorry for the delay on this one. We are receiving quite high volumes for video call requests.
In our records it does show like you did receive the invite to our first call. Could you please confirm you also received it?
We're glad though that eventually the team was able to help you out. If you need anything else, you know where to find us.

We're sorry to read you're facing issue with the app. Could we ask you to contact us one more time?
It would be great if you could share your app diagnostics when you do, so that we can dig deeper into your issue. The app will prompt you to share those.
Once we hear back from you, we'll do our best to assist you.
Thanks!

I tried to book appointments several times for weeks and couldn’t get any times or told different times it’s not very well managed, the guy who eventually helped me regain access to my account was great and it took 10 minutes but it shouldn’t be this hard when websites use Yoti for the only available age verifier and when the appointments are so sparse

Hi Chrissy,
Thanks for leaving a review.
We are truly sorry for the frustration and delays experienced while trying to book an appointment. It shouldn’t take weeks to get the support needed.
Due to a significant increase in requests for video calls, our current systems have been stretched, but we are actively working on launching a new calendar tool to make booking much faster and more transparent.
We are very happy to hear that our agent was able to resolve the account issue so quickly once connected. We appreciate the patience shown as we make these improvements to ensure a smoother experience for all our users.
Kind regards,
The Yoti team

Hi Michael,
Our goal is to make digital identity and age estimation seamless.
While we handle thousands of successful checks daily as part of our partnership with Microsoft’s gaming platforms, we understand that technical hitches can happen. We would like to investigate why the app is hanging for you.
Please reach out to our support team at help@yoti.com and share your in-app diagnostics. Our team will be more than happy to look into this and get you back on track.
Take care,
The Yoti team

Surely it says something when your average score is 2.1 out of 5. I certainly wouldn't purchase from anyone that has this low a score. Like so many others my experience has been negative and time wasting with a useless chat bot.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for sharing your feedback.
While we take every review seriously, we also look at the broader picture of our user experience. Currently, the Yoti app maintains strong ratings in the UK, with a 4.7 on iOS and 4.3 on Android.
To put things into perspective, the app has surpassed 20 million downloads to date. During Q4 2025, Yoti was installed over 1.7 million times. In that same period, we received roughly 11,000 negative reviews across both the App Store and Google Play Store combined. This means negative feedback accounts for only 0.6% of total installs.
While we’re always striving to improve and reduce friction for every user, these metrics suggest that the vast majority of our community is successfully using their Digital ID to navigate the world safely.
We appreciate you taking the time to write to us. If you have any specific technical feedback or hit a particular snag in the onboarding flow, we’d love to hear more.
Take care,
The Yoti team

Nightmare
Useless, frustrating, a waste of time.
I´ve wasted too much time trying to use this app to waste it now explaining the whole ordeal I´ve been for days, while trying to use it.
Combined with the service of My Gov Scot (My account -it doesn´t allow me to include the link-), it is just appalling. I entered in a loop with the two of them trying to create an account to book online on the NHS.

Hi,
Thanks for leaving a review.
As per advise from our Support team, we cannot send invites to for screening/document checks. That part of the process relies with the organisation/employer that has asked you to conduct the check.
Please, as our team advised you before, reach out to your organisation/employer and ask them for a fresh new link. They should be able to provide you with one.
Kind regards,
The Yoti team
The function is beyond absolutely useless
The function is well beyond absolutely useless, how typical of the worst government in the UK's history to choose Yoti as their default ID identifier. The App keeps throwing you back to a stage you thought you'd already safely negotiated. Can't help feeling it's been designed that way, zero public testing, designed by techies, unusable by anybody else.

Unable to access Yoti account after registration…
Registered and then could not gain access to Yoti after using it. Don't have the time to keep on trying to access my Toti account. Super frustrated. Then asked the help desk to cancel a request for ID that I sent a client who had opted not to proceed (but I had instructed Yoti to send a reminder every 6 hours and the help desk could not accommodate that request. Please just close my account and then I will start from scratch with a new registration.

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your review.
I’m sorry for the frustration. Because we don't have direct access to your account for security reasons, we can't manually cancel requests or delete profiles on your behalf.
We have sent an email with a step-by-step guide to help you:
- Regain access via the Yoti app or reset your MFA.
- Stop reminders by deleting the specific session in your Identity Portal.
- Start fresh by following the instructions to delete and recreate your account.
If these steps are still giving you trouble, please reply to our email. We’re happy to jump on a call and walk you through it personally.
Kind regards,
The Yoti team
