Ghana’s newly launched CitizenApp, the digital platform designed to streamline access to public services, is making waves globally just days after its debut.
Within 72 hours of its launch on Monday, the app has surged to the top of download charts on two major mobile platforms—Google Play Store and Apple’s iOS.
On Google Play Store, the CitizenApp is now the most downloaded app worldwide over the past 82 hours, surpassing popular apps like WhatsApp, TikTok, and MyMomo, which rank second, third, and fourth respectively. On iOS, it holds the second spot, trailing only behind TikTok.
This rapid rise in downloads highlights the enthusiastic reception of the CitizenApp among Ghanaians, both at home and abroad.
The app consolidates all digital public services into one platform, offering users a smoother, more efficient digital experience.
During the app’s launch, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia emphasized that the platform represents a major milestone in the government’s ongoing efforts to digitize Ghana.
He explained that the CitizenApp integrates key personalized features like the Ghana Card, offering services that can be used throughout a person’s life, from registering a newborn to accessing public services, paying bills, filing taxes, and even searching for jobs.
The Vice President encouraged all Ghanaians to download the app and take advantage of its offerings, and the overwhelming download numbers suggest widespread interest. Early users have also taken to social media and review sections to share their positive experiences, further boosting the app’s growing popularity.
