How well does Touch ID work for you?

[maxsix]

Having deliberately embraced and learned it, I can understand why some like it. Especially since around here we're expected to like everything Apple.

I had high hopes for its advantages, yet I can't find anything of benefit that enhance my experience.

I'm sure in the next year or two more developers will offer implementations that render it worth using.

I do respect Apple's effort to be creative.

Works great for me. But, keep forgetting all the features. Use the long press keyboard to move cursor all the time.

 

[Edge1978]

Eh it's pretty good. The only issue I have is the mutitask. I only get it to work my luck

 

[NeshyD]

6S+ here. TouchID works too well, still need to get used to using lock-button to simply check for notifications.

 

[Jimmy James]

100% in dry use.
0% if I recently washed my hands.

 

[Shadowbech]

I vote for All the Time.

 

[Applefan4]

Works most of the time. My Touch ID has actually started playing up a bit today so I re-registered my finger print and restarted the phone, seems to be working fine now.

Just wondering how well Touch ID works for people. For me, its works most of the time. I've found though with my Otterbox defender Case its a little bit more finicky in terms of its success rate. My wife on the other hand has a hard time with it. We've tried doing multiple scans of her finger but for some reason her Touch ID isn't as successful with her fingers compared to mine.

Touch ID works 99.99999999999999999% of the time for me. The last time it failed was probably a few months ago.

Works all the time

+ for me on "All the time."

 

[ajm222]

never works for me. i have terrible issues with the skin on my hands and fingers and it's useless for me. i use apple pay but only with passcode.

 

[Abazigal]

Almost all the time. The few times it failed were when my fingers were wet or dirty.

 

[tranceking26]

Most of the time for me too. Its a great feature that I was missing all the years I had a 4.

 

[cmichaelb]

Almost all the time for me, even with version 1 on the 5s. 6, 6s +, and iPad Pro have been even better.

 

[convergent]

You need an "all of the time" option as others have said.

 

[redman042]

On my 6s Plus, it is extraordinarily rare that the phone does not unlock instantly upon touching the sensor. It takes real effort to click the button without unlocking the phone (I have to turn my thumb sideways). Quite a huge change from the 6 Plus, which was no slouch.

TouchID has become one of those invisible features that never reminds you it's there. Pretty awesome.

 

[Givmeabrek]

Works every time. Where is that choice?

 

[Laserducky]

Works 100% of the time : superfast and very convenient.

 

[bsmr]

Works nice - but much too fast. Always unlocking - only wanna see the clock.

 

[9646829]

On my 5S it was unusable and worked maybe 1/20 times so I turned it off, my 6 was a lot better and worked probably 15/20 times. Since I got the 6S+ it works probably 19/20 times so pretty much bang on.

 

[MH01]

Works very well. Except the cases where it asks me to put in my pin, usually first thing in the morning, assume it's a bug

 

[recoil80]

Works like a charm.
Is really better and faster than iPhone 6, sometimes it is almost too fast

 

[krspkbl]

all the time. i just got my 6S+ today and it has been great to use touch id. so damn fast and hasn't failed me once yet. i know it's still early but so far so good

 

[atmc]

Works 99% of the time.

 

[nburwell]

With the exception of Touch ID failing when I just get out of the shower, it works like a gem every time.
