  • Great idea but don’t know how to interpret the map

    I can see numbers and red location tags, but there is no key or explanation on the website or in app to explain what that means.
  • How does this work?

    I’m participating even though I’m unsure what I’m doing. What does check overlap do? When I first installed, it did nothing. Now it just puts the number 7 over my residence. But all 7 markers are in a parking lot..
    how does one input a positive test result? I don’t want to mix up the data with my non-positive status right now. But if that changes to positive, how would I update it?
    Great idea... so many questions. Pls respond.

  • GPS data not accurate

    I’ve been using this app for last 1 day, with location always logging every 5 minutes. Today updated the app. With Map overlay its been showing I’m wandering around neighbourhood, which is not true. Is this some kind of glitch?
  • Ouch!

    Hard to believe the limitations of this solution, is it a real version or a Beta version?!?
  • Not optimized for iPhone se screen size

    The “for more information” box at bottom of the screen hides the import / export / news buttons. Only way to see and tap those buttons is by stop logging.
  • Improvements & Additional Uses

    There’s also other very useful applications that you left out of your explanation here:
    If someone finds out later that they have been infected, then as long as the app has a database of the other phones that came near that phone, then it can directly warn people.
    It would also have the information of everywhere someone has been, an automatic log of possible infection sources. And it could help create a log of possible people who might be infected now (even those that don’t have the app).

    Also, please make any data-sharing options opt-out instead of opt-in features. People often keep the default option!

    Lastly, couldn’t an existing popular platform like Facebook implement something like this more immediately and save more lives. They should already have the systems there with check-ins and other features. You should contact some people in the company.

  • Let’s get this going

    Time to stop COVID!
  • This is gonna be revolutionary

    When this prototype is updated, this is gonna be a revolutionary idea and implementation. Really excited to have this app—you should be too. Great stuff, super secure & safe.
  • Operator Error?

    Perhaps it’s me but the graphics don’t fully open and I have no idea how this app is meant to be helpful. When I pressed the Import “button” all that came up was the words “Rolling out soon”,no clue what that means. The Export “button” was no better, five lines of text ending mid-sentence and I couldn’t scroll down for any more information. Put simply, the app does nothing. Perhaps it was designed by Trumps alleged MIT professor uncle🤣 It seems like fairly simple crowd sharing information not sure what’s going on with it. Good luck getting it up and running, the idea seems good And for those concerned about privacy, that ship sailed a long time ago.

    Great app! Great to know I can record my location without big brother or anyone else taking a peak as well
