The app is available in 13 languages, including English and 12 Indian languages—Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu. Users can select their preferred language during installation. However, all data input must be done in English for compatibility with mobile keyboards.
