Ratings and reviews

This app really has a lot of potential but what ever feature we choose, it crashes and pop up message " something went wrong" comes. Why an app developed by the government is so buggy and useless, we don't understand. I tried nearly 50-60 times for doing basic things in the app but everytime same pop up message comes.

Everytime I open the app it reminds about turning Location on setting..it is sometimes irritating for me, because I understand the use of turning location on, but because it consumes more battery and data so I keep it off. So can I turn this pop-up reminder off by default?? Jai Hind 🇮🇳

Overall good app , but I noticed a problem while checking the ration card details. My ration card was updated few months ago with some details like relationship change , hof change etc. but still in umang app it's showing the previous data. I hope this would be fixed in next update.
