What does everyone think of Touch ID after using it for a while now?

[anon(73368)]

That's crap... mine works 99% of the time, and when it doesn't its usually my fault. Or may I did overkill and scanned each thumb twice to weigh out how frequently ill be slightly off on edges. Not sure if that's incorrect way of using it but it works well. However if it only worked 1/7 times I could see it being annoying.

When it works it works great. But when it smudges up that's when it seems to send me to passcode. I may take it to the apple store and have it looked at. But the phone works fine except for that.

It really works well. Before I got my phone I really brushed it off as a gimmicky feature with very little use, but it just works so well (almost every time) and its such a great way to keep security simple yet secure

New iOS update should fix some scanning issues apparently.

I've been against touchid from the start but I'm giving it an honest try. Guess it's really just a matter or re-training old habits. One day in and not so bad.

Edit: Nevermind. Experienced several times where it didn't recognize my thumb, again, and that was enough. Back to no touchid and no passcode.

It's awesome. I like security, but hate putting in the password every time I want to use my phone. The touch sensor makes unloving easy.

I have a company phone with a strong password, so touch id is a really cool feature. This is one feature that apple has really taken the lead.

As other posters have mentioned it's not 100% but good enough for government work.

In the week I have had my phone as stated in a a thread I started here just today without great detail I find the Touch ID feature useful and become more use to it every day. I set it up at the Applestore but in a day shut it off. I thought I did not give it a fair chance and turned it back on - Not I am use to it and will more than likely keep it active and use it.

I personally don't care for it and recently stopped using it altogether.

Sorry IR you don't find it to your liking but who knows what time will do where you find you might need it.

If you simply would have answered the quote and left out the first 2 words, It would and still is a good answer, I don't think you needed to answer a fellow member starting your answer the way you did. Just think on it. That is no way to answer another member.

Agreed!!

A nice feature that works very well. I find myself trying to use it on my Air and Mini and then when it doesn't work realize they don't have it.

I love it!!! It makes unlocking my phone less aggravating (I have a 6 digit pin because my phone is encrypted by my company).

Sorry? If you could rephrase the point...you cannot be commenting on the term i used "That's crap"...are you?

When I read your response, I took 'that's crap' to mean the situation the person you were quoting was experiencing. As if to say, 'that is crappy that is happening to you and sucks that you are experiencing that' and not, 'what you are saying is a load of crap'.

But I think others are interpreting it as the latter.

I love it! It works about 95% of the time for me! Just what Apple's goal was! "Technology that disappears!"

I think that the touch ID is ok. I really don't think about it much. It isn't really intrusive which helps.

Mine works 99.9% of the time!

Better than typing a passcode every time, save time and more comfortable, love it~
