Doesn’t work

“An error occurred while uploading data”.
This is a message I constantly get. App does not work, but good concept

Needs better marketing

Just downloaded after hearing about it on NPR radio. I was hoping the State of Florida would make use of Apple’s COVID product, but they have not. Hope this app will be downloaded by more people in Miami-Dade. It should be mentioned at event local news broadcast.

Why Require Phone Number?

If the app is supposed to be completely anonymous why do you require the phone number and to verify it? Doesn’t sound anonymous to me.

No option to run in background

Since I’ve updated to ios 14.1, there is no option to run in the background. I do not have the Tap for battery saver bar displayed.

This app is a joke

Why would they pay millions for an app that you have to have open at all times? Apple an Android have offered this and it runs in background at all times and never stops. They don’t even have to make an app for it, they just need to get Florida health department to request that it be activated and setup a verification system for people who want to report that they are positive.
