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. -- Allmyusualnicknamesaretaken, 2025-08-31 ### **--- "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. -- Chris MBSD, 2025-08-29 ### *---- "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. -- jayzeef, 2025-07-24 ### **--- "You need to register?!" This app feels like reinventing the wheel. You need to register to access the same content that's freely available on a normal website. I absolutely see no point in doing this, especially when the information is freely available elsewhere. -- Rafal S., 2025-07-15 ### *---- "Just a Web portal" Awful app, all it does is force you to make yet another Government account and then it’s just thousands of links to the normal website. Waste of phone space! -- RobertJHButton, 2025-07-08 ### *---- "Useless" This is not even an MVP. It’s just an app with login and links to articles. Doesn’t have any value yet. -- dimkushka, 2025-07-08 ### ***-- "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. -- Stuart DJ, 2025-07-06 ### **--- "Login Each Time The App Updates" Why oh why do you have to login again when the app updates? Get some developers who understand how to code to standards that help people navigate the app. -- Viperdudeuk, 2025-07-05 ### ****- "A good start" Logging in for the first time was a doddle as I’d previously set up a gov.id login. It supports FaceID so that also keeps it simple & secure. Topics for browsing seemed to be well structured although very often it ended up taking you to the relevant government web page but it did target the relevant page. I happen to be in a position to sell some sell some shares I’d acquired through a company share scheme and I was concerned about capital gains tax. By following’Money & Tax’ -> ‘Capital Gains Tax’ -> ‘Tax when you sell shares’ I quickly discovered using the app that such assets are exempt from CGT so got some valuable info on my first use. I should be able to easily find that again because there’s a ‘Pages you’ve visited’ topic - very useful for those ‘..where did I see that?..’ moments! Not bad for version 1.0.1 -- Kigtod, 2025-07-04 ### *---- "Badly designed bookmark list!" What is the point of this 'app'? Doesn't really deserve the 1 star, but 0 stars is not an option! -- bongo2007, 2025-07-04 ### ****- "Amazing" Though, this is the first version, it’s an amazing innovation and I believe it is going to be excellent app as time goes on.👍👍👍. I pray an iPad full screen version will be released. Thanks. -- Jeffrey Onwukamuche, 2025-07-03 ### ***-- "Work to do" Glad to see this launch, but the browser view that pops up for GOV.UK One Login is kinda nasty. Also, if you input a postcode, click Confirm, and then click Cancel, the council should not be changed. Finally, as others have said, the app should also be in Welsh - even beta versions. -- kennethmac2000, 2025-07-03 ### *---- "Limited value" Struggling to see the point in this app. Appreciating it may improve over time, currently it is little more than a navigator / homepage and you still need to log into all your accounts separately. Really no value in downloading this. I’ll just use gov.uk instead as it’s the same content. -- shoomy, 2025-07-01 ### ***** "JD" Downloaded app today and very quick and easy to navigate around, found all the information I needed. -- Walkie1902, 2025-07-01 ### ***** "Works well" Works really nicely. Good performance with little lag. -- StephenJPJM, 2025-07-01 ### *---- "🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿" Welsh please -- Llwyd Blaney, 2025-07-01 [View all GOV.UK reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## GOV.UK Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | United Kingdom | Reference | #5 | ## GOV.UK Discovered Keywords - gov - govuk --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
