1st November 2026, Kathmandu
Discover the latest Nepa App update featuring Nepali OCR, hospital bed availability, blood bank info, water reminders, Lok Sewa notices, fuel prices, and more essential digital tools for everyday life in Nepal.
Tailored specifically for Nepali users, the popular Nepa App has rolled out a comprehensive new update loaded with digital services and practical utility tools designed for everyday life. The latest version introduces several highly anticipated features, including a Nepali OCR tool for extracting text from images, a water reminder, district-wise weather forecasts, vegetable and fuel price trackers, and real-time information on hospital bed availability and blood banks.
This update places special emphasis on the Nepali OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool designed to streamline digital tasks in the Nepali language, along with health and wellness features like the water reminder.
1. Nepali OCR: Digitize Text Instantly
One of the headline features of this update is the OCR tool, which converts Nepali text found in photos and images into editable digital text. Users can snap a picture of books, newspapers, official notices, or physical documents and instantly digitize the content without manual retyping.
Target Audience: This tool is exceptionally useful for students, teachers, journalists, office professionals, and anyone who regularly handles Nepali-language documentation.
2. Water Reminder
To combat busy daily routines where people often forget to hydrate, the new Water Reminder feature alerts users at designated times throughout the day. Users can easily customize their reminder schedules based on personal hydration needs.
3. World Clock and BMI Calculator
World Clock: Allows users to check local times across different countries and cities globally, making it easier to connect with relatives abroad or manage cross-border professional commitments.
BMI Calculator: Helps users compute their Body Mass Index quickly by entering height and weight metrics.

4. Hospital Bed Availability and Blood Bank Directory
Bridging a critical healthcare information gap, the app now features a directory listing available hospital beds and blood bank details categorized by hospital. This ensures users can locate emergency medical resources and blood reserves swiftly when needed.
5. Public Service (Lok Sewa) and Tender Notices
For individuals tracking public sector opportunities, the app now integrates Lok Sewa Commission (Public Service Commission) updates and tender notices. This single-window approach simplifies the search for aspirants preparing for government exams, job seekers, and business owners tracking public procurement.
6. Fuel Prices and Trip Calculator
The update includes current pricing for petrol and diesel alongside a Trip Calculator. By inputting travel distance and vehicle fuel efficiency, users can estimate travel fuel costs—ideal for personal vehicle owners and long-distance commuters.
7. Vegetable Prices and District-Wise Weather
Vegetable Prices: Provides daily market updates to help consumers track local produce rates.
District-Wise Weather: Delivers localized meteorological forecasts for various districts across Nepal.
Expanding a Robust Ecosystem of Services
These new additions build upon the Nepa App’s existing suite of tools, which already features the Nepali Patro (calendar), national and district news, local news proximity alerts, Nepali radio, daily horoscopes, gold and silver rates with currency converters, foreign exchange rates, document scanners, period trackers, notes, reminders, QR code scanners, Nepali date converters, unit converters, standard and tax/EMI calculators, GPS location sharing, and an internet speed meter.
By evolving beyond a news and entertainment platform into an all-in-one digital utility hub, the Nepa App continues to consolidate essential information, digital productivity tools, and public services into a single unified mobile experience.
