United StatesThe official CBP ROAM App (formerly OARS) from U.S. Customs and Border Protection allows pleasure boaters and other eligible travelers who arrive at remote locations to report their arrival online. In addition to submitting a report of arrival, pleasure boaters who are not currently enrolled in a Trusted Traveler Program, Local Boater Option, or I-68 program who are currently required to report in person may be eligible for a video inspection. Disclaimer: This is a pilot version only for use in limited areas. Contact your local Port of Entry for guidance. Create a trip by adding travelers, your mode of travel, your location, and contact information. After you submit a trip, you may receive a push notification on your device to start a video chat with a CBP Officer to finish reporting your entry into the United States.

I’ve been waiting for an agent to reply for over two days now to grant me access from Florida to Bahamas. I have uploaded all my information and the app keeps on saying waiting. You cannot cancel the request or navigate the app while this is in progress.
United StatesFlaky and infuriating
CBP Roam will not work on my android Samsung S20 and who knows how many others. The 8/30/2023 update does work on S9 & S10 but each reinstall or update dumps all the previously configured Travelers and Vessels. … lotta work! The CBP suggested solution is use someone else’s phone … Really?? Authentication is user configured, so … that’s not a solution. I’ll be phoning arrival in until this app works.
United StatesI do not like to pan an app but…
I had setup the app on my iPad but now added it to the iPhone and I go though an extensive and secure login process but none of my account info come in and I have to set up all of it again? Hopefully it’s a big and soon to be fixed. Fail!
United StatesSystem Flaw
Downloaded on iPhone 13 and got a version that has two options “Report Arrival” and “Report Cruising Port of Call” which allows me to select “Report Cruising Port of Call” and report my current anchorage or port but I can’t get the same version on the new phone just purchased. The updated version provided on the App Store keeps downloading an incomplete or old version and there doesn’t se to be a way to update. The old version treats you like a new traveler entering the US! Very frustrating!! It’s a five star when it works like it should.
United StatesVery limited editing capabilities
No copy-and-paste of phone numbers, or other info? No ability to change traveller info after the initial edit? Paste an existing passport photo? In 2023? … please…
United StatesIt may be useful but one has to manually enter …
So my first impressions- Ug!!! One has to enter number for everything- passport, boat…. It is so tedious - and frustrating! Just put a cut and paste function! For crying out loud! This is something that one has to do over and over and over…. Allow me to cut and paste these numbers- it will be MORE accurate 😃
United StatesOutstanding
A real simplification of the process for coming back to the USA from Canada. The app works well and I’ve had nothing but courtesy from the agents who have followed up by phone.
