flag A UK government-funded app, vVoosh, failed to launch despite £1M in public money and celebrity backing.

flag A UK government-backed lifestyle app, vVoosh, linked to Sarah Ferguson and backed by the Department for Business and Trade, received £1 million in public funding but never launched a functional product. flag Promoted as a tool to improve wellbeing and support small businesses, the app failed to deliver, faced technical issues, and attracted no meaningful user engagement. flag Despite the investment, no measurable outcomes were achieved, prompting scrutiny over oversight, accountability, and the use of public funds for unproven tech ventures, especially those with celebrity involvement. flag The project’s collapse has raised broader concerns about the evaluation and management of government grants.
