1. Why would I want an ID manager app?

   Having identity cards are important to us as they aid in maintaining security and keeping track of our personal records. Most of our IDs, however, can only be used within their validity periods which we tend to forget. When you use ID Buddy, you don't need to worry about having an expired identification card anymore because it will remind you when to renew your cards.
