Hanoi launched iHanoi on June 28, 2024 as its single citizen app — photo-based complaints, administrative services and city utilities in one place, developed and operated with Viettel. Adoption began by decree: a mayoral directive of July 9, 2024 ordered accounts for 100% of civil servants by July 30 and called on all residents to register. The load became real after Vietnam's July 2025 local-government reorganization pushed complaint handling down to wards: the city has since received more than 94,000 complaints and suggestions through the app, with about 75% processed. Since May 2026 a complaint map red-flags wards and communes that exceed processing deadlines, and the city publishes lists of the overdue.

what does this mean?The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went. All four grades →
Run byHanoi People's Committee, developed and operated with Viettel
Scale🏙️ City-wide

📊 Impact

By late November 2024 the city counted about 16 million accesses to iHanoi — an access count, not a user count, and the main early usage figure the city published.

🎓 Lesson

Accounts created by directive and access counts are weak evidence of adoption; the app's more convincing layer arrived when the complaint map began naming the wards that miss their deadlines.
