Good Idea, Poor Implementation – Citizen SafePass Review

This app is largely useless if not enough people are using it. Currently, there’s just over 1.1M people using it. Sounds like a lot, but there’s well over 200M adults in America. On a more specific note, the feature to report test results is clunky, requiring the user to submit a screenshot of their results which includes their name. Here in Los Angeles at least, the results we get from the tests we can take offered to residents of LA County do not include our names in the results we get back, presumably for privacy reasons. Anyway, it makes the test results reporting feature unusable. Nice idea, but without more widespread adoption, and a better way to report test results, it’s mostly useless.
