Ratings and reviews

The app works well and stores documents properly, but a major issue affects usability. Whenever I need to access my documents urgently, it forces a mandatory update before opening. This is especially problematic during travel or in low-network areas, where updates cannot be downloaded. In such situations, the app becomes unusable, even though the documents are already stored. Please allow access without forcing updates, especially in offline or limited internet conditions.

From an excellent initiative to a useless app, this has come a long way since I started using it from 2018. App complains of genuine third party apps on your phone, connected VPN etc., even genuine ones must be disconnected. Moreover most of the sources looks like just list digilocker as government mandate. When you try to fetch a document, it almost fails everytime saying try another time. What's the use of this app if it doesn't work most of the time?

The DigiLocker app is getting worse with every update. QR scanning on iOS doesn’t work. Passport upload date fields have no calendar on Android/iOS—basic input type="date" missing. Also, document fetching takes forever, endless loading like the whole universe is loading. Poor performance and bad UX for a critical app. Please fix these basic issues instead of releasing half-baked updates.
