Appears to be copy of website?

I tried to find advantages to the app over the website. Maybe there are some but I couldn’t find any, so I will likely never use this as prefer website and have deleted the app.

Not as advertised

The pre app release videos for this app looked really promising and suggested we were getting something similar to the apps that have been available in countries like Poland and Estonia for years. It showed a user flicking between their vehicle details, tax details etc. None of this is actually accessible in the app and when you click on something it essentially takes you to the government website for that service to browse through as normal. What a disappointment. Not an app or useful.

Poor experience & potentially tracks everything

This is just the website in an app – but it forces you to log in so all your interactions can be traced back to you. What is done with this data? Who has access to it? Also there is no user management - I can’t switch easily between my different One Login accounts. This is basic stuff that should be in place in an MVP.

It’s a Minimum Viable Product but…

…I hope that changes for the better sooner rather than later, so that there is point to the app rather than providing links to the website. Apps really shouldn’t do that all the time.

Bug fix that was preventing some users from receiving push notifications.
