New update
So when you click on the visualize data streams button, it shows you a piece of a map momentarily before booting you out of the app. Looks like another bug but hopefully you guys know this by now. And also would like more info about choosing an information source. Are we supposed to look up our local and any other .gov website that supposedly does testing for COVID-19?? Kinda confusing, well a little bit.Show lessKcCochia
Import location history good - did it work????
The new version allows us to import our location history but there is no indication that it actually worked. Did I do it right? Who knows. I downloaded the data, got a long string of odd characters, but did that import my location history into the app? Please add something to show “we have location data from X to Y” or something to tell us that the data actually imported into the app.
The ability to “Visialize data streams” crashes the app.Show lessms401
What is the point?
First, I thought I was signing up to help with a potentially new way to track our current situation, but never did learn the tricks. For the first few weeks, I noticed the circles around where I went and the potential intersections with others. Never understood how it could be useful, for example, when we drove along rides where bicyclists and pedestrians were walking, yet I was overlapping with people. Now, that doesn’t appear at all and the map page locks up when clicking the button to see my overlaps. I don’t understand how if it isn’t shared with anyone, how do I see their overlaps? Is this helping anyone or any organization?Show lessMSU_Wrinkle
One suggestion, 2 criticisms
3 stars for effort, but less for usefulness now. Suggestion: Many many people want to be able to do something and helping with their own contact tracing is a good start. Too much of the current contact tracing method relies on patient memory, which gets less precise as you go back in time. I suggest this app add a simple notebook feature where users can enter their own contacts. An easy interface to select the date & time and make a note if it was a public place (grocery store, work) or a private encounter including names __________ (eg met with 2 friends ____ & ____ for whatever activity). The info gets dropped out once it’s 15 days old. Should be easy coding and zero privacy issues since it’s user input and doesn’t get sent out anywhere. If the user gets the virus, they’re well prepared for the contact tracing interview and if they hear of someone getting it, they can scan their own history list to see if they should self isolate.
Criticisms: 1. Why is the “trail” marked with giant green bodies instead of just a line connecting dots? Simple dots would far better pinpoint locations where there may have been a stop (eg grocery). 2. It doesn’t seem to work well in our rural area. The ‘public data set’ is far from matching our state’s map of reported cases. But maybe that’s one of the parts under development.Show lessCredulouskeptic
Worked good until update.....
After last update I can no longer see my trail. It shows the map zoomed way out and then crashes.Mitchusmc
I leave my Iphone at home & mostly use Apple Watch??
I have the app running on my I-phone. But I mostly only wear my Apple Watch when out of the house. Will my watch serve as a suitable substitute for my phone?
Thanks

Needs at least a minimal user manual
I hope this app is giving the developers useful information; that’s why I continue to give it my location data. But as a user, it’s frustrating to not have any information on what, export, import or load data do. At least where I live in the SF area in California, loading public data doesn’t seem to reveal anything on the map.Show lessCat223c
Poor design and does not work
The U/X does not exist. The user does not know what he/she is using the app for. There are giant purple blobs (supposedly your locations) and no green trails (as claimed) on the app. Furthermore the purple blobs (my supposed locations) are also showing up in areas I don’t even visit. Maybe GPS triangulation errors? I deleted the app and won’t bother downloading it as Apple and Google are working in contact tracing techniques which I am sure will be better implemented in the phones.Show lessDarkVenom
Other countries?
Will this work if I'm in Canada?Niesje2020
Doesn't work
It didn't log my first trip. After making sure the app was open, it logged my second trip. After my third trip, it shows no trip. Google does much better in maps.KWagle
