FlyArystan Update
The FlyArystan mobile app has updated its personal account section. Users can now add travel document details, ensuring automatic saving of vouchers, and have integrated login via Google and Apple accounts for speed and convenience.

eGov Mobile Update
A new service, "Notify Car Owner of an Issue," has been introduced. This service is particularly useful if a vehicle is blocking passage, has been involved in an accident, is left with headlights on, is emitting alarming signals, or has flat tires. When sending messages, the applicant does not receive any information about the car owner; the eGov Mobile app sends anonymous notifications to users.

Connecting to the payroll project has become easier, and the list of payment options has been expanded to include universities, schools, and children's centers.
