Good device but needs improvement

Works with webmail. Still no functionality with MS Teams. Nowadays and as teams are used, we need to develop this functionality. Other than that, it's not bad.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Sad packaging

It works! Computer and accessories

Works great! Item received very quickly in the mail. I immediately connected to my iphone and started logging into the Department of Defense websites with my CAC card. I have tried AKO Webmail, DFAS My Pay Page and Tricare Online. Note. To do this, you need to download the free Sub Rosa web browser app from the App Store. Work.

Pros
  • Not only suitable for the intended purpose
Cons
  • Defects present

Worked with a small optimization.

yes it was expensive but when connected to the application everything worked perfectly. The least complicated chip email connection method I've used in a year. Requires an extension to work with a hard case.

Pros
  • shines
Cons
  • infuriates

Great product for memory card reader

I have connected the reader and already downloaded the Sub-Rosa software. I put in my CAC card and she recognized it straight away. Asked for my PIN and earned it. Good product.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Comfortable but uncomfortable.

Although it is very convenient and gives you access to various military sites, it is really very buggy. After purchasing a PDF subscription, it disappeared and took me back to the iPad home screen after trying to edit something. I'm definitely thinking of returning it.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • So-so

Does not work with new OWA

Email functionality is broken when accessing new Office365 Outlook emails. Tech support says they're working on it, but there's no date for a proposed fix.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Issues encountered

Comfortable but uncomfortable.

Although it is very handy and allows you to access various military installations, it is really very buggy. After purchasing a PDF subscription, it disappeared and took me back to the iPad home screen after trying to edit something. I'm definitely thinking of returning it.

Pros
  • SUPPORTS INDUSTRY STANDARDS: Apple MFi (for iOS devices), ISO 7816, NIST IR 6887, IEC 60950, FCC Class B Part 15, CE and RoHS. In addition, BuyCACReaders is a state seller.
Cons
  • Not as thick as other hoes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

access returned. Provided but not enough to view data

that I bought to be able to log into government/military sites and emails that require DOD CAC access. Although I had access to websites and email, the SubRosa app, which must be used to get the reader working, didn't have a browser interface that would allow me to scroll to view all pages or email - read information. Great idea if it works.

Pros
  • This reader can be used with an iPad Pro with a USB-C connector! We recommend purchasing a zaught Lightning to USB-C converter. As we have only tested Zaught converters, we cannot guarantee success from other sources.
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something
