The eNaira app recently launched by President Muhammadu Buhari has ‘disappeared’ from the Google Play Store, checks have shown.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the eNaira app was probably removed from the Play Store by Google due to the numerous complaints and poor performance ratings the app has received since launch.
Users had earlier rated the application low and made several complaints on the eNaira app on the Google Play Store.
The central bank digital currency, called eNaira, was launched on Monday and 36 hours after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) published on the Play Store, it has been unpublished.
To access the eNaira, users have to download the ‘speed wallet’, which allows users to make quick and easy transactions. It is the digital storage that holds the eNaira and is held and managed on a distributed ledger.
However, at the time of filing this report, the eNaira Merchant App, which has considerable positive comments is still available for download.
Twenty-four hours after the eNaira App was published over 100, 000 users had downloaded it.
Users who had downloaded the application said that they have not been asked to update the 8.76 megabytes application.
The eNaira speed wallet had a rating of 2.0 of the obtainable 5.0 from 2,150 reviews on Play Store as of 5:45pm on Monday as users complained of glitches.
It is unclear if the App was unpublished by Google because of the poor rating and negative reviews or the CBN. No words from the CBN on the matter yet.
