### 2/5 — Logging out

*2023-03-07, version 5.13.1*

What is the point of the app being able to remind me to renew my license if the app logs me out every single time it updates?

### 2/5 — Missing too many state and county reminders

*2023-02-13*

This is very skeletal. It is missing more critical reminders needed for state drivers license, CHL, game and fish, etc. The app needs a summary event list instead of to click several times just to see each alone. It would be helpful to allow the user set their own reminders for 30 and 60 days prior to the deadline or event. Some of us want to pay as soon as possible and not at the latest deadline (eg property you can pay first week of March, even tho the deadline is Oct 31).

### 1/5 — Dowlanded and won’t work

*2022-01-02, version 5.8.1*

I downloaded the app. And nothing is happening. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Gov2Go accessibility

*2021-12-04, version 5.8.1*

I have downloaded and uninstalled the app. I’m still having issues accessing the account. It’s not very user friendly. I have test results that I can’t retrieve.  The website states “403 FORBIDDEN”. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

### 1/5 — USELESS APP — H O R R I B L E

*2021-11-02, version 5.8.1*

This App is HORRENDOUS. Period.
It is literally unnavigate-able. So so so so bad.
People are sick and trying to schedule a COVID TEST - the LAST thing we need is an overly complicated, impossible way of doing so. 
DONT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. Go to Walgreens or CVS. This is TRASH. TRAAAAASSAAHHHHH. 

ZERO STARS IF I COULD.

### 1/5 — App never works.

*2021-10-03, version 5.8.1*

This is a bunch of web pages thrown into an app and it still doesn’t work. The chat is horrible such a waste.

### 1/5 — Horrible App!!!

*2021-09-19, version 5.8.1*

This app is just like the rest of the federal government. COMPLETELY WORTHLESS!!!

### 1/5 — Updated - Delete - Re-Download - Tells me it’s not updated

*2021-09-08, version 5.8.1*

This app is stuck in a loop saying it’s not updated but then it’s downloaded again and still says it’s not updated. Worst user experience on the iPhone I’ve ever experienced

### 1/5 — Awful

*2021-08-27, version 5.8.1*

The app does not work at all

### 1/5 — Bland and Annoying

*2021-08-27, version 5.8.1*

The app logs out after only a couple minutes. You have to log in over and over again. Nothing of real substance on it. I downloaded it just to register for the Covid test and that was convoluted and unorganized. The flow of the app makes little sense.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2021-08-05, version 5.8.1*

Could not get registered for Covid test—“no results found.”  Extreme frustration at no progress and loss of 2 hours’ worth of time and gas.

### 4/5 — All has been well

*2021-08-03, version 5.8.1*

But why do I keep getting code 403 forbidden? Last week it did this with my cell internet (TMOBILE) when my wifi was down. NO problem on my Cox wifi until this morning. Through app or going online it’s says code 403 forbidden 
Can you all please fix this issue. Other than that I love the app 
I just pray the VEC updates the app more with personal claim information.

### 1/5 — Educadora

*2021-07-13, version 5.8.1*

Nunca se pudo accesar el estado. Esta aplicacion no sirve para nada para 🇵🇷

### 1/5 — User unfriendly

*2021-07-01, version 5.8.1*

The process to start works but the file weekly was nonexistent. I had to call every time. Never gave updates to why payments weren’t coming through and always told me I didn’t have weeks but would pay. Totally backwards. Have had to reapply four times and never accepted my pin but would still pay

### 1/5 — Can’t file weekly claims

*2021-06-20, version 5.8.1*

At first the app was working to file my weekly claims. Now whenever I try to do my weekly claim, it keeps kicking me out to page before. Because of this I haven’t been able to get my unemployment in over a month.

### 1/5 — The absolute worst

*2021-06-19, version 5.8.1*

Every time I try to create an account it’s always saying “unable to create account”. So annoying ! This app and the entire website is just faulty and inconvenient.

### 1/5 — Can’t even create an account

*2021-06-14, version 5.8.1*

Typical lowest bid government system.

### 1/5 — Can’t click file button

*2021-06-10, version 5.8.1*

Every time I try to file for the week it just takes me back to the events page every time I try to click file, I need help?!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Deleting app

*2024-12-31, version 5.18.0*

Just got a new phone so I’m reviewing all the apps I currently have. They added some new authentication procedure that I really don’t trust. Signed up for it anyway and got logged into the app. I really see no value so I will delete it. Also withdrawing authentication.

### 1/5 — Trouble with links

*2024-04-02, version 5.15.1*

The links I was trying to use didn’t work in app, and I couldn’t set up an appointment for the DMV.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t use at all

*2023-12-30, version 5.15.1*

Would not even let me create an account.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

*2023-09-25, version 5.14.0*

It’s a waste of time having to do this on the phone when back then it was much easier to do it on the computer online .! I can’t even make an account to try it.. MAKES NO SENSE ITS TERRIBLE .!  I HATE IT

### 1/5 — Colorado Springs DMV Vehicle Registration

*2022-02-26, version 5.8.1*

Colorado Springs DMV website in North Union Blvd says you can renew your vehicle registration through this app. I tried everything to no avail. This app is garbage.

### 1/5 — Cold Download; Could Not Register

*2022-02-11, version 5.8.1*

Downloaded the app, punched in my email and a matching password that satisfied the password criteria, and then got “Unable to Create Account.  Please try again.”  Not sure what else to say.

### 1/5 — Unable to create account

*2022-01-22, version 5.8.1*

I can’t even use the app.

### 1/5 — terrible

*2022-01-02, version 5.8.1*

the app won’t even load.

### 1/5 — Works as well as the CDC does

*2022-01-02, version 5.8.1*

Which is to say it doesn’t work at all. I downloaded this app to get my Covid test results that were supposed to be ready after 72 hours (it’s been over 72 hours and I’ve heard nothing), but the app is totally unusable. It simply pulls up a blank screen. I deleted it and reinstalled it, and it did the same thing. The actual Gov2Go website is also terrible and won’t go past the loading screen with the 3 dots. If I could give 0 stars I would.

### 1/5 — Huge inconvenience

*2022-01-02, version 5.8.1*

Literally had to download the app because the website is all of a sudden acting weird and not under their private control like it used to be not long ago and was literally fine yesterday but the app won’t even load anything it’s just a blank white screen every time even restarted my phone to try to get it to work nothing changed the app literally doesn’t work. Whoever is supposed to make sure these things work needs to do their job and fast otherwise don’t bother making an app just make sure the original website works regardless. How hard is that?

### 5/5 — Thanks again!

*2022-12-20, version 5.13.0*

Thanks to Gov2Go I have paid my property trades on time for the last 2 years. I was always paying interest before and forgetting about those infrequent payments. Thanks to everyone on the team!

### 5/5 — Rent Relief in Virginia

*2022-08-05, version 5.12.0*

Thank you Gov2Go for making it easy to fill out applications using my smart phone instead of paper forms.

### 5/5 — VEC PUA

*2021-05-02, version 5.8.0*

It is impossible to get a hold of VEC. I sent Gov2Go a email. They sent me lots of information to scroll through. Fortunately I was able to figure out how to fix my problem. My hats off to Gov2Go Technical Support. Too bad they can’t help out VEC until Covid restrictions are lifted. Thanks Again!

### 5/5 — Haven’t used it yet But

*2020-10-17, version 5.4.0*

I just downloaded this haven’t used it yet. But after reading the reviews looks like it may have a lot of issues. Here goes.

### 5/5 — Get the job done

*2020-10-09, version 5.4.0*

This program is great.  Easy booking of appointments and viewing of results

### 5/5 — Payment Method

*2020-09-01, version 5.4.0*

I updated my payment to a bank account method because my card changed. How long will that take to go into affect?

Thanks,

David

### 5/5 — Work in Progress, that works with you

*2020-05-27, version 5.3.0*

I ran into a lot of problems initially with the Gov2Go App, but after getting in contact with the support team everything has changed. Chris and Neill, who I spoke with, were absolute dreams and helped me with my issues. If you’re struggling with anything in the app, get in contact with support and they will sort you right out.

### 5/5 — Please help with pua benefits question

*2020-05-24, version 5.3.0*

I’ve been accepted for pua benefits and I’ve been claiming every week but I haven’t received the payments yet and I’m just need help with why not? Please help? I don’t know what to do.

### 5/5 — A great, helpful App. Government has never been so well designed.

*2020-05-07, version 5.3.0*

This is a wonderful app!
Most of the reviews that rate low stars are not related to the app but just peoples frustration with the bureaucracy the app is the harbinger for. In reality it makes otherwise complicated and opaque systems very clear!
Their support team was immediately responsive when I reported an error in the chat bot. It’s beautiful, simple, and well laid out. Very grateful for its great design!

### 5/5 — Simple and straightforward to use

*2020-04-28, version 5.3.0*

Simple and straightforward to use. Looking forward to more government services being added for my state!
