Dubai: If you are new to Ajman or a long-time resident, you need only one app to navigate your life in the emirate – the AjmanOne app developed by the Department of Digital Ajman.
Instead of downloading numerous apps on your phone to access different government services, you can complete all your daily tasks on the AjmanOne app, which was introduced earlier this year.
How to use the app
The app is available on Google Play and App Store, and allows you to book a taxi, pay your traffic fines and utility bills.
To use the app, you must have UAE Pass account, which is the national digital identity of citizens, residents and visitors in the UAE.
