Aarogya Setu app not accessible to persons with disabilities
The Aarogya Setu app needs to have a separate section with specific information for persons with hearing impairment with sign language interpretation/close captioning. So far as persons with visual impairment are concerned, provision for audio guide for navigation, audio description of colour used, proper colour contrast etc. need to be incorporated.
The lack of accessibility of the app has been flagged by several NGOs.

Rahul Gandhi terms Aarogya Setu a 'sophisticated surveillance system'
RS Prasad hits back:
(totally unrelated reply to what RG asked)
Aarogya Setu is a powerful companion which protects people. It has a robust data security architecture.
Those who indulged in surveillance all their lives, won’t know how tech can be leveraged for good!
Aarogya Setu is now being appreciated globally.
The App is NOT outsourced to any private operator.
--Mr. Gandhi really high time that you stop outsourcing your tweets to your cronies who do not understand India.

The screen reader in the app did not announce the purpose of all controls or
the type of control, whether a link or button.
Users could not identify the number of slides in a carousel, so after receiving the information in the first slide they could miss out on information in other slides.
On the “Your status”, “COVID updates” and “E-Pass” tabs of the app, the screen reader was not announcing the control type, so users did not know these were interactive tabs

Unable to download Aarogya Setu app from play store
I suggest everyone having the same error "not available in your country" to check your google payments profile if your personal information are updated, or try adding additional payment method to register your country.
- last option is to contact app developer.
