Unreliable mess—resets every update and fails when you need it most!
I managed to install and register, but that’s where the smooth experience ends. Every single time an update drops, the app completely wipes my progress and forces me to redo the entire registration process from scratch.
This time around, I am completely locked out, endlessly stuck at the SIM binding step. My network connection is rock solid, and my active SMS pack has plenty of balance, yet the app stubbornly throws the exact same error: "unable to send an sms."
It’s an absolute tragedy because the core concept is genuinely useful. But thanks to shockingly amateur design and profoundly incompetent maintenance by the development team, this app is utterly untrustworthy. It always bails out and abandons you right when you need it the most. Fix your engineering!

Critical Design Flaw in Aadhaar Lock & Biometric Lock Recovery
I appreciate the effort to modernize the Aadhaar app, but there is a critical design issue in the current implementation.
If both Aadhaar Lock and Biometric Lock are enabled, the app creates a circular dependency:
* Aadhaar Unlock requires Face Authentication.
* Face Authentication fails because biometrics are already locked.
* Biometric Unlock cannot proceed because Aadhaar remains locked.
This leaves users with no recovery path within the app.
The previous mAadhaar app allowed recovery using OTP, but the new authentication flow has removed that fallback. As a result, users who enabled both security features can become locked out of managing their Aadhaar security through the app.
I have already reported this issue with detailed technical information and screenshots to the UIDAI support team. I hope the development team reviews this regression and provides a recovery mechanism such as an OTP fallback or another secure alternative.
Until this is resolved, users may have to disable important security protections just to continue using the application, which defeats the purpose of providing these security features.

Mobile number update
When you do mobile number update option. Otp comes to le number which you put but after otp system automatically pick the mobile number you are using in the mobile as old number. Also, payment error always comes. Please check
Highly recommend
I’ve been using the Aadhaar App, and it’s a wonderful application. The services are easy to use and save a lot of time. I no longer have to take leave from work for routine Aadhaar-related services, as most tasks can be completed conveniently through the app. It has made the entire process much faster and hassle-free. Highly recommended!

Stupid logic
Biometrics lock/ unlock are disabled. For this to work you need to unlock aadhar /VID and so brilliantly when you try to unlock Aadhar/vid last step is face authentication and guess what it is unsuccessful as in the first place biometrics are locked. Great. Award to the app designers/dev. I miss the individual lock unlock functionality from the legacy app. This new app functionality makes no sense. Also if you have added your family members and unlock any 1 biometrics luckily then when you switch profile the same biometric timeline shows up on the other profile which you never unlocked. Fantastic. Please bring legacy lock unlock functionality.
