About this app
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.

Takes forever, could be so much easier to navigate through. Endless times scrolling through the alphabet to get to the UK when they already know it's the UK. No choice but to scroll through each time, so just takes longer and longer. Mobile phone numbers rejected as probably need to remove leading zero. But a box pops up first to say invalid and tick to say number is actually correct, but that makes no difference so it's pointless doing it. exasperating because so many steps just to get that f

Impossible to use with small children since it requires a 3D face scan be made with the front phone camera with no focus or zoom controls. The website has no such requirement, and accepts still photos instead, which are infinitely more kid friendly. It does save the applications for quick status checking though, which is nice.

I was on the cellphone screen, have ordered the 4 digit code, received it, had to open the email to read the code, ... and your website closed so I had to start over and your code was not longer valid, because it counted as a new application. in the end I had simultaneously open my computer and the phone app. are you sure you have professionals working there?
