The experience is good but I want to share the disadvantages of the application. I'm using this app for the OTPs to login to the digital gujarat portal which is issued for scholarship. in my school 18 teachers and all are using this portal for their classes. digital gujarat portal principal's mobile number is given to get otp and every time he/she isn't available to give otp to each and every person. so please give provision for multiple users logins using same mobile number
