COVID Alert NY Reviews

Simple and Safe

Very simple app that will make me feel a little safer. Doesn’t ask you for any personal information and serves just to warn of any possible exposure so you can keep your family safe or make you go get tested if you’ve been possibly exposed. Everyone should have this so we can breathe a little easier.

Seems like a good effort

I like that the app does not store data and is explicit about how it works. It’s a simple interface. I like that there’s in app monitoring of cases in the state and my county with easily understood numbers.

Good App

Loving it so far. Best of all it doesn’t need your location, only bluetooth which is great. Also heard it works in some other states! I would recommend.

It takes a community

If you’re a New Yorker, download this app

I want to like this app but....

I want to like and use this app because the concept is intelligent and could be helpful in mitigating transmission anonymously. The problem is that the app drains battery power very quickly. My phone was fully charged at home and by the time I got to work a little over an hour later I was down to 50%. That never happens. For me to use this app it needs to not have such heavy battery drain. I had to delete it from my phone which now makes this great app useless. Please fix.

Will work — if enough people use it

This app does NOT use location tracking, only the Bluetooth technology that people use for wireless connections, such as wireless earbuds. It even works with devices having some other states’ apps, such as NJ and PA. It will be effective to reduce the spread only if many pause it. Do so as a matter of community responsibility!

Private and no fuss

This app does not collect location data. It is well thought-out and provides a good overview of relevant COVID-19 information in addition to helping you know if you’ve been near someone who has recently tested positive. The more people who install this and enable Exposure Notifications, the better these notifications will work.
