ADDA - The Community Super App 4+

Information Technology Act of Govt. of India and it’s compliance

My perception of having used your app in the community where I am staying in Bengaluru is as follows:

1. The app does not throw any light on the above guidelines issued by Government of India in February 2021 & you have not provided any advisory to the users of the app, who by virtue of their ownership gains entry to the app use through Resident Welfare Associations who onboard them. It is high time you do it lest as developer you are also held responsible for non compliance to the guidelines.
2. As I have seen, predominately the app is being used for posting ones views on the functioning of its office bearers and their failures, but crossing all limits of decency and at times abusive and getting personal, which predominantly fall under character assassination, defamation and slander and thus attracting penalties and action under CRPC besides directly violating the IT ACT guidelines as applicable to Social hosting sites like Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.
3. Better you implement this advisory lest ADDA may become an avoidable app many of the decent owners who are withdrawing from such social sites considering the below standard debates and abusing language used on ADDA Social Site

A wholesome community management app with a rigid backbone

We are a new community and the builder handed over the project with ADDA as the community management App. it was like buying a PC with windows preloaded. We could not even think about IOS.

So we just went ahead and started using it.
Best part is it caters to all segments of community management, accounting, asset management, maintenance management, member management, entry/exit management, communication management etc etc

All works fine once you understand the system and know how to get around it. We have been using it for a year now and did not find anything lacking from application point of view.

The biggest down side is it’s lack of user end customization. The architecture of the software is rigid and you have to work within its setup.

Even tweaks to meet community specific requirements by Adda backend is limited.

It would be good if Adda team could work on user specific tweaks to make the software more versatile.

Most importantly we have had excellent support from the Adda backend which has enabled us to manage our community as a cashless and paper less association.

Pre-approval needs improvement

The approval of delivery or for services is not apt. APP says to share OTP with the person coming, but for that one needs to have phone number, which is not available in most cases. This again fall back to the method of security calling and checking to allow or not. Methodology seems primitive than those of applications like MyGate which has already these features in place.
