quote some paragraphs from the BBC article :

development costs ranged from £10,000 - £40,000
"It seems many Government bodies have given in to the temptation to
spend money on fashionable gimmicks at a time when they are meant to
be cutting back on self-indulgent wastes of money", he told BBC News.
"It is ridiculous not only that they are commissioning these apps but
that some of them are supposedly secret on grounds of national
security. "Someone who is faced with losing their home because of high
tax bills, or whose life is being ruined by crime isn't going to get
any reassurance from knowing there's an app for that," he added

By the end of May there were over 53,000 downloads of the Jobcentre
Plus app, although critics have asked why someone who can afford both
an iPhone and the expensive running costs would need a Jobcentre Plus
app
