Anybody else get annoyed with the Apple fingerprint sensor?

I can remember the last time mine actually read it correctly. I'm always having to put in my passcode or password.

Yes. It's hit and miss on my 6. I love the feature. Just wish it was more reliable.

Nope. Mine works just fine. First time, every time.

Do you have dry skin? Does that thumb take a lot of abuse?

Very rarely is there a problem. I love how seamless it is, and I miss it on other/older devices.

The only time mine doesn't work is when I get out of the hot tub.

I like it; it works great.

Didn't work that well on previous phones for me.

Never had an issue on my 6s though. Works every time.

I hardly ever have an issue. And I have 4 different fingers set up.

I've never had a problem. Have both thumbs and index fingers set up.

The Nexus 6p and One Plus 3 have the fastest and most accurate in my experience. Samsungs is worse than apple's most because of the shape of their home button.

The sensor on the 6SPlus is fast and accurate about 8 out of ten times. I would rate it 3rd after the one plus 3 and Nexus 6p.

I am actually surprised at how well it works. Only have issues after working out or getting out of the pool.

Works great for me as well. Only time it seems to have trouble is if my thumb is wet.

Sometimes I open my phone just by pulling it out of my pocket. Works well for me.

Sometimes mine won't work and I'll just wipe the sensor with my shirt real quick and it works flawlessly after

Mine actually works too well on occasion. I'll just quickly tap the home button with my thumb to see the time or a notification, and boom, starts right up. 6s+. Having both the 6+ and 6s+, 6s+ is probably 3X more responsive and quicker.

It works great. As others have said, couldn't be happier.

I have a 6S Plus and have had zero problems with it.

I was thinking earlier that it was the great. Less passwords

Mine worked quite well on every iteration of Apple product I owned which had one. Try rescanning your finger (as in set up again) and cleaning the sensor.
