Kerala’s app Bev Q in pre-launch queue.

The Kerala government seems to have tied itself into many knots by attemptingto launch the Bev Q app to buy liquor through a virtual booking system.Even though it has been three weeks since the Centre gave the nod for resuming liquor sales in Kerala, after the state closed bars and liquor outlets in the aftermath.of the COVID-19 outbreak, authorities are still tinkering with the app.

The delay in launching the app is being justified by claiming that the app has not received the Google’s security clearance.However, experts point out that an app does not need any security clearance.

Both these stores will review the app for security, software bugs, quality and user interface.After the review, the app will be up on the Play Stores and consumers can download the app on their phones.
