## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's goal of digitizing government services and document storage using blockchain technology. However, multiple reviews highlight serious issues with facial recognition failing, frequent app crashes, poor functionality like QR scanning and login errors, and confusing user interface. These problems make it difficult for many users to successfully register or use the app for essential services, leading to frustration and distrust. Improvements are needed in stability, usability, and facial verification to make the app truly helpful for Bhutanese citizens.

### Pros
