In recent years, the Hong Kong government has actively promoted smart cities and has developed many mobile phone applications. It should solve some of the existing problems of the programs as soon as possible and maximize the functions of some programs.


At present, some programs are suspected of wasting resources. For example, the "A Symphony of Lights" application subordinate to the Tourism Commission. The services provided include introduction to the Symphony of Lights, replay of the Symphony of Lights music, and introduction to nearby attractions. This information can be used It is easy to get through other channels, and you don't need to download a special application to know it.

Another example is the "Hong Kong Leisure Farm" app under the Vegetable Marketing Office, which features information on local recreational farms and a "photo frame", but the "newest news" has been released in 2018. " There are even more garbled codes in "Related Applications", which is believed to be due to the lack of routine maintenance of the program content.

In addition, many government applications often face the problem of insufficient publicity, which in turn leads to a low number of downloads and usage.

The services most used by users include downloading the new crown pneumonia "e-needle card" and online application. Renew vehicle license, "e-tax", etc.

With the "smart and convenient" identity authentication function, you can also submit an application for the electronic health record sharing system online, eliminating the need to go to the registration location to verify your identity, which facilitates the disadvantaged citizens.
