DANGEROUS - DO NOT USE

aforty

Dangerous and irresponsible are words that come to mind with this app. The app doesn’t implement the joint google/apple exposure notification api but instead opts to create its own competing network of contact tracing when the focus should be to get as many people on the more mature, more widely used, and more robust solution already out. This app relies on you and everyone you know keeping the app open so that it can transmit over Bluetooth for the core functionality which seems prone to user and technical error. As a result many people (over a million apparently) will download this app in the false belief that it will help them, and give people a false sense of security. If you want a good contact tracing solution please go into the Settings app on your iPhone, scroll down to Exposure Notifications, and click from there to find an app in your area that implements the joint Apple/Google api. You could maybe use this app in addition to that but not in lieu of and the fact that the developers don’t enforce that in the app is dangerous and irresponsible.

This isn't true. My issue is that the app doesn't like to respond to input. I got frustrated and stopped using the app since it always seemed unresponsive.

Planned on signing up, now will wait

I had planned on signing up for this because I think it’s a fantastic idea. However, I have concerns about the privacy issues brought up by others, especially since it appears to be a buggy program to begin with, per their comments. Given that many sites and apps can be hacked, I have concerns about holding up identification, test results, held next to my face, if only from a security point of view. That is simply too much HIPAA information,Especially if people in your pod (even though I don’t plan on having any gatherings at my home, but other people do) would also be able to see that information. I work at a hospital in the Technical Services area and I am aware of other security breaches that have occurred at various facilities. Additionally, I think that those who are concerned about government intrusion but may still have been willing to sign up for this, will instead have a field day on a Twitter with putting down this app, based on the requested means of identification. I think something like entering a drivers license number or other identification, like a passport number should be sufficient information to provide on the app. This is a great idea, just not implemented in such a way that would result in more people signing up for it.

Not updating

Jlee8806

This claims I have not come in contact with a single user who has also had this app enabled in the past 3 months... I feel like it’s just not updating? A month or so ago it was saying it hadn’t been updated since the previous month, now it’s saying “ Last updated 12/31/69, 07:00 PM” unclear if that’s supposed to be 1969 or 2069... but either way not useful

Don’t know yet

i’ve had this app for a while now and it used to work well. recently, the “contact tracing center” hasn't updated at all and has been stuck in dec 12 even though i’ve kept the app and the open all day. i really wish that it would update constantly like it did before. also i would suggest having the app open up on the “safepass” screen instead of the “pods” screen as it gets quite annoying having to switch it every time i go on to check if there were any bluetooth connections. i got this app cause it was much easier to read, in comparison to the contact tracing on ios (i enabled that too) but this app hasn’t been updating, which is kinda frustrating :/

Great app - except the nagging/

I love the app and what it does… But I really really really wish it would just stop asking me to create and join pods! Whereas my family lives 100s of miles away (I haven’t visited them in a year), and my friends and I gather on Zoom (though rarely). This reminder just exacerbates the solitude - and makes the app an additional annoyance in my life. How many times do I have to say no? No means no.

I really like reminders to check in.

I live in Southeast Texas where the guv doesn’t believe contact tracking is useful and I haven’t found any apps for contact tracking in my area. Still downloaded & got two nearby relatives whom I see from time to time to download it. None of us have been tested but have reasons to stay alert and safe. I’m in touch with my doctor who can test me if needed; she told me to contact her immediately if I believe I’ve been exposed, that’s why I haven’t gotten tested. Anyway I like your app! TxGr8Grannie

Vaccine status

TheDrewbert

Shouldn’t there be a way to track vaccinated status? Once I’m 2 weeks post 2nd dose, do I really need to check in daily?

Great app but needs a update

Bad update 11/2020

With vaccines being administered to people lately there should be a option that allows you to mark yourself as vaccinated and submit picture for proof
