The Global Entry mobile application enables active Global Entry members to report their arrival at any supported airport in the place of a stationary Global Entry portal. You must be an active member in the Global Entry program to use this app.
Simply choose your arrival airport from list of supported airports and submit a photo of yourself to CBP for verification. Be sure to complete this process while you are physically located within your arrival terminal. Once you’ve successfully submitted, you will receive a receipt of your submission that you must present to a Global Entry officer upon arrival. Be prepared to offer further travel documentation upon request. If you are unable to obtain a receipt using the mobile app, you can proceed to an existing Global Entry Portal and proceed with the normal process.
Note: If you are not enrolled in the Global Entry program, you are not eligible to use this mobile application. This app does not enable enrollment for the Global Entry program. You must either proceed with the normal entry process or use the free CBP Mobile Passport Control app.

The app is easy to use. In the past this app has worked amazingly well for our family. At IAH Terminal E there was a long line of global entry users that could not get the app to work. Error code: invalid submission. The app would not allow one to start over, unless one removed app and started process over. I believe most users were concerned because it was actually slower thru global entry than the normal process. However, this was a first from our experiences.

a little wonky - mostly with using their lingo that perhaps many of us do not totally understand...taking the biometric pictures requires patience.

my first attempt to use it: YVR. FAIL. Port of entry was physically in Canada. The app could not understand that and/or did not use GPS to facilitate a proper response. why use this app when GE kiosk is nearly effortless?
