MANY government services are now
online, and several of them also are
available as smartphone apps.
It can however be somewhat time
consuming to find all the apps one
needs to access the services required.
MaltaApps, available for iOS and
Android, make this easy, by gathering
all government services under a sin-
gle application.
The apps linked to under the Mal-
taApps umbrella are varied and in-
clude all services made available
under the government's mServices
programme.
They include, for instance, the
112MT app, which has been recently
re-launched and which allows people
in an emergency situation to quickly
contact the police, ambulance, civil
protection department or army, and
send their location automatically via
their smartphone's GPS system.
Through MaltaApps, users can also
access a multitude of other services,
including the ARMS app to access
utility bills, the Blood Donors app, a
Clean and Upkeep app to request that
public areas be cleaned or to report
illegal dumping, one to apply for po-
lice conduct certificates, an app for
government grants, and one which
keeps you updated with vacancies in
the public service.
The various apps are organised un-
der 12 categories, such as health care,
identity and citizenship, police and
social welfare, making it easy to find
the app you require.
