mAadhaar

Unique Identification Authority of India

About this app

With the goal of reaching out to large numbers of smartphone users, the new mAadhaar is released by the Unique Identification Authority of India. The App features an array of Aadhaar services and a personalized section for the Aadhaar holder who can carry their Aadhaar information in form of a soft copy, instead of carrying a physical copy all the time.

The key features in mAadhaar:
Multilingual : In order to ensure the Aadhaar Services are accessible to linguistically diverse residents of India, the menu, button labels and form fields are provided in English as well as in 12 Indian languages (Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu). After installation, the user will be prompted to select any of the preferred languages. However, the input fields in the forms will accept data entered in the English language only. This is done to help the user avoid facing the challenges of typing in regional languages (due to limitations in the mobile keyboards).
Universality: Resident with or without Aadhaar can install this App in their smart phones. However to avail personalized Aadhaar services the resident will have to register their Aadhaar Profile in the App.
Aadhaar Online Services on Mobile: The mAadhaar user can avail the featured services for themselves as well as for any other resident seeking Aadhaar or related help. The functionalities are broadly grouped as :
o Main Service Dashboard: Direct access to download Aadhaar, Order a Reprint, Address Update, Download offline eKYC, Show or Scan QR Code, Verify Aadhaar, Verify mail/email, retrieve UID/EID, Request for Address Validation Letter
o Request Status Services: To help resident check the status of various online requests
o My Aadhaar: This is a personalized section for Aadhaar holder where the resident will not have to enter their Aadhaar number to avail Aadhaar services. In addition, this section also provides facilities for the resident to lock/unlock their Aadhaar or Biometric Authentication.
Aadhaar Locking – Aadhaar holder can lock their UID/Aadhaar number anytime they wish.

Ratings and reviews

Very useful application. It shows how silly mistakes has done variable initialisation incorrectly and teach us to avoid silly mistakes while developing an application. Very secure. It just exposes application architecture and very helpful to hacker to steal your data. Seems like some fresher has developed application. No surprise you get runtime exceptions.

Your mAadhar App Never works, always there is some technical issue. 1. Sometimes the app does not starts, stating that there is some technical difficulties. 2. Even if it does starts, it does not works the way it should. 3. I'm trying to update the addres through the secret code received via mail, since last few weeks, but the I'm unable to complete the process because the service is temporarily unavailable.

I think I downloaded it nearly four or five times and completed all the other formalities asked for but still it is not cooperating with me and always repeats only one sentence technical errors and nothing more. Frustrated. Installed again. Is there any one to solve this. Now it's fine.
