Tawakkalna Emergency app is the official app in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for managing emergency cases and community protection. It has played a significant role in containing the spread of COVID-19 and was developed by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA).
At the beginning of Tawakkalna launch, it aimed to contribute to the management of relief efforts by electronically granting permits during the “Curfew Period” for both government & private-sector workers as well as individuals. This in turn helped in limiting the spread of Covid-19 virus in the Kingdom.
During the “Return with Caution” period, Tawakkalna App launched several important new services that contribute to achieving a safe return, most notably clarifying the health status of its users through colored codes with the highest levels of security and privacy.
Tawakkalna Emergency Positive Reviews
Good but Problems Outside of the KingdomThe app has been good but it seems to be confused while I am outside of the Kingdom. First it needed me to change my time zone to Saudi Arabia. I did that manually. Then it wanted me to set my home address all over again. I think it wants to know where so now. Being out of the country doesn’t necessarily mean I have moved. Perhaps current address means where I am at the moment. Either way. It won’t let me pick my real address in Riyadh because I am thousands of miles away. Nor will it let me set it to my current physical location for the week. I need it to be working when I get to Bahrain to quarantine. I need t to show that I have been vaccinated..Eric McCameyVersion: 2.8.1
Not completely rightThe app generally shows me as immune so on that basic level it works. But it took a couple days to update when I arrived back in country - said I was supposed to quarantine even tho I had completed both doses more than two weeks earlier and registered on Muqeem ahead of return. I never did find anyone to help me in calls to various health services, it just eventually went away. Next, it marked me immune, but the health passport in the app only lists one dose, which caused the guards at my office to refuse me entry until I dug out my actual vaccine record. Currently it says I’m immune by recovery and a single dose, even though I’ve never had covid. It’s such an important app for daily life here, it really should work correctly and offer a simple way to update errors..MissJubileeVersion: 3.1.2
Honest review | تقييم صادقThe app is honestly a great achievement for the kingdom connecting almost all the government services in one place, it’s insane how much you can do here (keep track of your traffic violations, children school performance, Court services, Organ donation programs, health check, Holy lands access permission, ask for emergency help, and A LOT more, whoever made this disparately needed service (Thank you)
I’m not giving it full rating because it still needs internet connection to use it. This service should be forcing Telecommunications companies to offer free of charge service to run it on اولا قبل شي التطبيق بكل أمانه يعتبر تقدم ثوري للمملكه حرفيا تستطيع ان تقوم بكل شي خلال هذا التطبيق من متابعة تفاصيل المخالفات المروريه الى متابعة التحصيل الدراسي للابناء والاوراق القانونيه للمحاكم حتى لو تبي مساعده بشكل طارئ تقدر تطلب لموقعك بشكل سريع. فريق العمل القائم على هذا البرنامج من اعماق قلبي (شكرا لكم)
ما راح اعطي تقييم كامل ولو انه يستاهل بسبب ان التطبيق يلزمك باتصال بالشبكه المفروض البرنامج له دعم من شركات الاتصال بشكل اجباري لضرورته بحيث انه يعمل على تسجيل الدخول زي تطبيقاتهم الرسميه بدون رسوم على المواطن او المقيم.WillosoundVersion: 3.1.2
Great app, but one small thing that bugsI never had any problems with the apps, and I think that it’s amazing except for the fact that every time the app gets updated or I log back in, the settings for the “Show personal picture for women” gets reset. I think that really annoying because the setting should always be saved..ShaikhahusseinVersion: 3.2.1

Hello,
I advise that you put a button on the home page ( where you fill all of the things that are required ex: Phone number, password...etc) you can from it contact the technical support because a lot of people face problems while filling the requirements so they can have a solution to their problem. Thanks.محمد س.خ.Version: 2.6.0
GlitchingThe app is good but since the last update my app won’t stay open I’ve uninstalled it twice and it will work for a little bit and then it does it again.
This is going to be an issue when going places..B AdelVersion: 2.8.7
Curfew time indicationWhen there is a curfew it needs to show the time where movement is allowed. That information changes from city to the other and from day to day. Since the application knows the user location it would be the most accurate way for users to k ow the exact hours so they can plan their movement..PushpushheshheshVersion: 1.5.0
Apple Watch AppThank you for the app,
I am required to open this app at the gate at work, and was wondering if these is a possibility to have an Apple Watch app to speed up the checking process at the gate and to avoid me touching my phone since I don’t use my phone when I’m out until I wash my hands. Thank you..Ram920Version: 2.0.1
What an incredible Job!!I’m a software engineer and this app just looks helpful and amazing. Just the layout itself and easy navigation and a short period of time is just an amazing job 👏 other minor issues could be fixed easily in the upcoming days for sure. Thanks 🙏.Rambo66378Version: 1.2.5
Registration ErrorI was traveling to KSA on transit through Bahrain, when I was notified by my travel team to register on this application. I tried my best but was not able to register. It was only when I reached KSA and got a local contact number is when this application allowed my registration (even though there are options to register through non KSA numbers)..Jp394199419Version: 2.8.7
Battery Consumption IssuesThis app is overall ok. Does what is required to do, but it has serious battery consumption issue. Having to opt for always on location services drains the battery insanely fast. I think if you can change the interval in which the app checks the location it will decrease the load on the battery..OnehudghdisnjsgdhVersion: 2.8.6
Great AppIt is a great app , helped me with my documents in one place my driving license, my digital ID , and my car ID , my digital passport, i dont need to carry these with me , if i ever needed one i just open the app . also , it gives me info about my health.EuromonoVersion: 2.8.7
Can’t sign upThe app keeps giving you an error message that the beta launch plan will allow sign ups in stages and gives no further explanation or indication on when the stage will be..ArabitoVersion: 1.1.0
Just one errorThe app is working fine with me, but there is just one error that it does not switch to Arabic language and I think it should support other languages for example Hindi according to the residents and there nationalities, otherwise it’s working fine without crashes.
Good work. 👍🏼.The Free WorldVersion: 1.2.1
Problem when registering with a passportWhen you click on register as a new user the field for entering your nationality has no data I. It. You cannot select a country. Therefore I cannot sign up. Please fix.RCHEB28Version: 2.7.2
Good app. Drains battery like crazyThe app is great and it’s has all the related information. It does how ever consumes battery very badly since it requires location enabled always. You will always find this app on the top two or three battery consuming apps in your phone battery check..Arshadm731Version: 3.1.1
It needs to a new versionSince the new requirements for tawakalna to get in any where the app has been crashing a lot and loses connection , I think an update able to endure the excessive amount of users is necessary.Rawnaa1Version: 2.6.0
Rating.In the over view rating is 3.7 out of 5 , which is unfair assessment for this usefull & excellant platform .
In my opinion ,it deserves at least 4.75 out of 5 .thank for your efforts. AbduAllah..ABduAllah,Ali..!Version: 2.9.2

Tawakkalna Emergency Negative Reviews
Useless appIt did not change my health status to no record of infection for a while though my COVID test is negative (just a normal test there was not any symptoms of COVID before doing it), also this happened for a couple of my friends. Just for anybody who might face this issue, do not wast your time on ringing the technical support of Tawakkalna because no body knows how to solve this issue and they will say the same words “just wait until your health status turns to green color” and if that takes two weeks you will be lucky, it might take you more than a month. So to those who made this app and don’t care of people using it, solve this issue and do not only show off in TV..No1answerVersion: 2.6.0
Absolute invasion of user privacy. But I’m obliged to download it!This poor app won’t function until it grants access to bluetooth and precise GPS location, not only that, the location access setting must be set to “Always” not just “While Using the App” which means all location data is being watched and stored 24/7 in the background. That is a serious privacy invasion and consumes the battery twice as fast! In addition, recently the app started sending spam notification about unimportant local news which is counterintuitive from an app that everyone is obliged to have and operate to live a normal life..Metaphysician96Version: 3.2.1
Bad app.Bad application, actually useless it is categorized as health and fitness but work as tracking and violations record application, I had to accept it's download not because I Want or need it but because I was enforced against my free well to do so otherwise I can't even buy my basic needs leave alone enjoy myself. this application is an example of technology misuse. the application undermine the freedom of choice and invading privacy
تطبيق مخادعة، ولا يمكن فهم انه تطبيق صحي، يعتبر الالزام بالتطبيق تعطيل حركة و فرصة لإضافة مخالفات من غير اثبات ارتكابها . التطبيق في حقيقته تجميع مخالفات على الشخص دون اثبات وقوعها ودون مسؤولية على من عنده صلاحية تسجيلها و بدون اعطاء فرصة تظلم واعتراض هذا فضلا عن معاقبة من سجل المخالفة دون اثبات. اصرار التطبيق على جعل معرفة المكان في حالة دائما مريب وغير مبرر.Mohamad abidVersion: 2.7.2
No Service!The app is disabled for more than 3 hours now, I tried calling but they don’t answer and at last they hang up the phone after more than 25 mins of waiting on call. They don’t even respond to their Twitter and email accounts. This is poor and unaccepted behavior, given the dependency on the app to almost go and enter anywhere. People in charge must be questioned at once, and must maintain a high level of professionalism, cooperation, and transparency, none of which have been shown. It is truly disappointing and must be dealt with immediately..Sultan-8Version: 3.0.6
Worst app ever and poor customer serviceCustomer service doesn’t respond or can’t solve their own app problems. If you leave the kingdom snd come back and have to do PCR test sometimes it doesn’t register even while dealing with MOH. Their response is to keep taking a PCR test until app turns green. Obviously the app does all the thinking as customer service does not. MOH blames app and app blames MOH. Battle calls and emails with both agencies and no one can help. Through Twitter they ask the same questions so obviously they can’t read the response 🤦🏻♀️.Aarobn10Version: 2.9.2
Battery consumptionI suggest moving the app permission to location is “Only While Using” because there’s is no real benefit to always having access. I will only open the app when I need to show it, otherwise I don’t use the app so it doesn’t need my location at all times. It consumes an awful lot of the battery!! My phone went from 100% to 60% in 4 hours because of it!! This is ridiculous! Kindly change the permission to “Only While Using” it makes more sense and doesn’t ruin our devices..Fate_enVersion: 2.9.2
STOP! ⛔️This app is being misused by the authority and it is causing tremendous hassle to people everywhere they go. It is causing a lot of disturbance and unjust treatment. It is a shame that Apple is allowing these Apps on its platform to be used in this unjust way against its customers. I hope Apple would take down this app as it poses a violation against human rights. If Apple lets this continue to occur, I will have no choice but to boycott Apple and all its products because it is creating these annoying apps that the authorities are using to harm people..Omarx26Version: 3.3.1
Errors in countingI’ll list the errors I faced below:
1) Registration page isn’t working. After adding in my ID and D.O.B in Hijri and Georgian, I get this specific error: ‘The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format.’ While I’m sure that the format is correct (I’m following yours) I’m pretty sure there’s a problem in the registration of the code’s input.
2) The Term’s of Use and Privacy Policy’s page isn’t showing. I understand that a lot of people just click on the agreement without reading, but it’s still necessary.
3) When I switch to Arabic, nothing changes. Every input field is still in English. I’m guessing it’s an error (?), and if not, not all natives will get to know what to fill these fields with.
Overall, I love the feel of the app’s interface! The colors is not confusing or overwhelming! Hope to get to test it again soon!! 👍.CrisisfiedVersion: 1.2.1
Location servicesAs you know the app need allowing the location services all the time.. this is impacting our devices battery for long term. I suggest to keep it once i use the App. Meanwhile the benefits from keep it all time is very low. And from my end of view no one i know keep the app running with location always on until they need to enter some location or building. Please study it very well..RMHQVersion: 2.9.1
Latest version 3.4.0Another app that fails QC. Using latest version of iOS 15.3 and app fails to open and reverts back to the Home Screen. I wish there was a previous version as I know it still works. Now I’m locked away and can not go to the store without fighting with the security guard showing my CDC card or logging into the web version. Family members at least were able to stay on the last app version..DudeHoldMaBeerVersion: 3.4.0
التطبيق يحتاج تحديثالتطبيق جدا رائعة فكرته واستخدمته ايام الحظر والان بسبب التعليمات رجعت لها لكن صدمت من الحالة اللي فيها يحتاج تحديث
١- اللغة العربية لا تعمل فقط واجهة انجليزية الحمدلله لغتي اكثر من ممتازة ولا اواجه فيها مشكلة لكن الناس الثانية كيف ممكن يستخدمونه
٢- كل شوي يطلع انه الشبكة مفقودة
٣- كل اجراء يحتاج تعيده اكثر من مرة عشان يتثبت
٤- استغربت من كمية المعلومات الشخصية عني الموجودة فيه بدون اذن مني ولا تصريح يعني ايش فايدة انهم يعرفون فين ابني يدرس وباي صف؟!!!
٥- اسماء العائلة لا تظهر بالانجليزي مجرد علامات استفهام وطبعا انسى العربي
الرجاء التحديث
I’ve using this app during the lockdown and it’s really good one due to recent instructions from local authorities I downloaded again but I was shocked from the level of it
It’s need a lot of updates

Bad experienceThe idea and service of this app are great but it has lots of problems since the first day I’ve tried it till now, it still suffering.
The app keeps saying your account has wrong information while it works great on the website.

An app used for spying, need more to say?Just take a look at what this app needlessly trying to collect from you.

Worlds most stupid appThis app is so dum that I booked a covid test and after bring in line for an hour the test conformation disappeared not to be found anywhere.

Seriously KSA should consider getting a better app developer..DimtiazVersion: 2.8.1
