Why Have App If No Link To Web Site
Minimalistic indeed. Two star rating is being generous.
No updated info since early 2021
This app is misleading and need of an update. We’ve already had a delta variant and Omicron, this app needs to be updated.
Behind the Times?
Seems to me that this app doesn't do much to encourage people to go get vaccinated for COVID-19.
I've been following the Data Tracker for this new disease almost since the first phases, when the big news was still in China and on cruise ships. It makes no sense to me that the CDC is still listing, among its "easy-access" [my expression] data points, the percentage of Americans who have received "at least one" of the three separate injections required for optimum immunity.
If the CDC continues to publish that lackadaisical statistic, it should also present the results of a study showing the percentages of people who still contracted COVID-19 within, say, one year after receiving (1) only the first inoculation, not the second one and not the booster; (2) the first two shots but not the booster; (3) all three shots.
Either do the study--or save that money, because you would otherwise be spending it (again) to re-rationalize the current protocol. Instead, post the following message loud and clear on the CDC website: "Folks, if you want optimal immunity ASAP, you gotta get two full shots plus a booster--spaced properly apart. And this virus isn't going to go away. We're already trying to figure out the subsequent inoculations that we'll all need in order to maintain immunity over the next two, three, four years."
How else is the CDC going to motivate full and ongoing compliance with its recommendations, now and in future years?

Great App
I think that this app is truly informative, especially for public health, or any related health major. It can be used after school, and can help retrieve reliable statistics!
Pretty good
Pretty simple to use and had information on a variety of topics. Allows you to look at national and global data about diseases.
The CDC has failed humanity.
The CDC has become a highly politicized agency that has disregarded hundreds and hundreds of superb quality studies pertaining to early outpatient treatment for Covid-19.
The CDC, as well as other prominent agencies, have actively suppressed a treasure trove of Covid-19 early treatment preprints that are waiting to be peer reviewed. This is an extraordinary, and unprecedented, situation. They have allocated limitless effort to make sure these studies never see the light of day.
We need to start asking ourselves the following question:
“Why are these extremely high quality studies, which were conducted by many of the world’s leading scientists and medical doctors, being suppressed rather than put through the peer review process?”

Insecure
It doesn't work if your privacy settings block Google servers. Citizens should not have to let themselves be spied on by Google to access government websites and apps.
Limited information
The App provides politically correct information and therefore limited. No data on children and if it is safe for them to go back to school
Just a dump of information without prioritization
You think that CDC would put contact tracing apps and tools where it would be easy to find them. I am looking at all kind of data that would be helpful if I were doing a science project. I am looking for a contact tracing app in my state and I can’t find it. What the hell?
Good Info, but CDC political now
I am a doctor. I have always trusted the CDC. But now it is allowing its guidelines and recommendations to be influenced by Mr Trump. Hope we get a new Director to put science first
