Sorry, but GGP said they'd never seen a successful government app. GP replied with an example of one. Parent discounted that example because it wasn't coded by a government employee (in effect moving the goalposts). My point is that it's irrelevant whether a government employee or an outside party created the app. It's still a government app, providing access and information about government-provided services. Unless you think the Seattle mass transit system is a private-sector company.
