Great satisfaction with Ísland.is

According to a recent survey, the digital journey and development of digital solutions align with the will and expectations of Icelanders.

When developing new products and services, it is important to monitor the user experience. Digital Iceland has been working towards improving information and digital public services. There are various ways to follow up on the fact that it is improving the experience.

Recently, Gallup conducted an internet survey, where the use and attitude of Íslands.is, Digital Mailbox and My pages of Íslands.is were examined.

Overall, knowledge, usage, and satisfaction measure very high in all groups, regardless of age, residence, education, or income. The answers indicate that the digital journey of government is on the right path and in line with the will and expectations of the Icelandic people.
