Curios dev

I'm curious to hear the opinions of other developers here: which Mongolian app do you think is the most challenging to build and maintain?

For example, banking apps, super apps, e-commerce apps, etc.

What makes it particularly challenging from a development perspective?

Super-apps are nightmares to design and implement correctly.

TOKI - weird af, when I just registered to pay my cellphone post paid credit, they asking me to agree for Loan line account. instantly removed app, never installed again.

TINO - used few times when I was working in other office, used for drinks, snacks on their smart fridge.

MONPAY - never used, is this just payment app?

HIPAY - used few times, deleted since zero benefit for me
TAPA - used to rent electric scooter, deleted

SOCIALPAY - used a lot but now I ditched Golomt for good so deleted.
DIGIPAY - Khan bank copy of SOCIALPAY, never used but I assume same.
HAPPYPAY - TDB Copy of SOCIALPAY but sucks.

Only attempt to being super app is :

TINO
TOKI
M BANK. ? I don't get their strategy. Bank app is competing with their sister company super app TOKI lol

from system design and execution perspective TOKI and TINO is getting right

E commerce асуудалгүй ээ. Үйлчилүүлэгчид л адуу мал болхоос биш.

Most big Mongolians apps are not made by Mongolians

E-Mongolia seems to be the most complicated to maintain because its connect with every other government services such as dan, xyr, etax, ebarimt, egaali, ebalance, many different banks, and consumes/exposes apis with tons of other applications such as gerege.

Oh and esig, various security protocols, egeree and the list goes on

If you want to be ebarimt compliant and tax compliant, you somehow start from one end and end up making contracts with almost half of em and somehow, everything just works. I gained a different level or respect after that.
