Outcomes of poll questions are significant contributions to authority’s improvement plans and action lines.

February 2025 - April 2025

Actions Taken: The poll results provided helpful insights on the usage of features within the “MyGov” app which is the first integrated application for smart devices in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The app offers users access to services provided by various government and private entities through a unified platform. The results showed that 44% of the “MyGov” app users voted for the eServices feature as the most useful to them, followed by the “My Cards” feature with 26% of the votes. The remaining five features collectively accounted for 30% of the total votes.

Based on the results, the Information & eGovernment Authority has added more eServices to the MyGov app by migrating services from current government mobile apps to provide the users with a better user experience, more eServices, and the convenience of managing more needs through fewer apps. Moreover, “My Children” feature, which currently allows users to view their child’s ID card, is being updated to include features to view the child’s passport and birth certificate, offering parents more convenience and accessibility.

We are continuously monitoring the usage of all government apps with the aim of developing new services and improving existing apps that align with the kingdom’s digital transformation initiatives, making everyday life more convenient for citizens and residents of Bahrain.
