Not ready for us traveler
Can people from the US stop giving this app a one star. This is for Italian citizens to use and not intended for US citizens. The European Union is working on adding other countries. This app was created by Italy for Italian citizens only so unless you are an Italian citizen do not download this app as it will not work for you at the moment. Maybe in the future it will but as of August 6,2021 it doesn’t and it doesn’t look like it will for the foreseeable future.

Works well with Italian Green Pass
It does not read US QR codes. If you have a US pass you can obtain an Italian Green Pass by applying for it. You can apply on the web from anywhere and you will receive it within a month (should be shorter now). Once you have the Italian Green Pass, this app will work to read it.

Funziona perfettamente!
Riconosce i codici QR sempre, non riconosce (giustamente) codici stranieri o extra-UE.
