    So it’s just an amp version of the gov.uk website? I assume so because after reading the article I’m no clearer on what the point of this app is actually supposed to be. Apparently I can customise it, a feature that I’ve got to be honest I’ve never felt was missing from the website.

    I actually think the gov.uk website is really quite good. Certainly a lot easier than it used to be with all of the services and departments having their own website, I’ve never really felt an app is necessary.

      This actually seems like a good place for it. If it can help answer questions and summarise more complicated subjects that might not seem obvious to someone then that’s useful.
