Upgraded eNaira app back on Google Play Store with improved 2.2/5 rating

The Central Bank of Nigeria's eNaira app has been restored on the Google Play Store on Thursday, October 28, 2021, a day after it disappeared without explanation.

The eNaira Speed Wallet app had been downloaded over 100,000 times by Wednesday, October 27, 2021, 48 hours after the digital currency was launched by President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja.

Before it disappeared late on Wednesday, the app was dogged by a low 2/5 rating and overwhelmingly terrible reviews from users who faced numerous troubles with the registration process.

Without an official explanation for the removal, the app returned to the store for Android users on Thursday afternoon.

It noticeably returned to an improved 2.2/5 rating from over 3,100 reviewers, as of the time of this report.

In a response to a 1/5 reviewer complaining about registration issues, the CBN account noted that registration issues 'has been sorted out'.
