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.

Useless
Why only this Miami COVid app requires the user to keep the app on? All other apps work in background
Who wrote the app? Goofy ? 😂

Useless App
This app is absolutely useless unless it uses the Apple Google API. It will not run in the background and you have to activate it. The point of the Apple Google API is to make it a seamless experience in your phone. This was not well thought out and completely useless.
Could be better
I get the privacy concerns, but let’s be real. If I am in my car and in Bluetooth range of another driver and we exchange tokens, there is no path for transmission. Yet I could get an alert. Location services needs to be incorporated, so if I see the alert was from an exchange on the palmetto expressway I can ignore it. Second, this needs to work in the background. Maybe there is a technical reason it can’t, but the easier it is to just run it without thinking the better. If it gets disabled and I forget to turn it on, might as well not have it! Same if I’m somewhere using other apps. Might as well not have it. But this is a much needed tool that everyone can use for their safety. Worried about “them” tracking you? Better cancel sunpass! Delete your Facebook! Flush your smart phone down the toilet! And get over yourself, you are NOT important enough to be tracked! Nobody cares about your boring activities! Or mine.

Good intentions but not practical
I’ve tried to use this app and have told friends and family about it. Truth is you’ll forget to open it when you’re out and about. Because it doesn’t use apple covid api you need to have the app open all the time for it to register people you’ve been with (they need to have it open too). I don’t get why they didn’t use apples api so that it can do what it needs to do in the background. I also don’t feel the county is doing enough to raise awareness of the app. It should be required to be posted with every “no mask no entry sign”. That say each business becomes a mini billboard for the app.

Self reporting
Relies on self reporting, how reliable is that? Do positives want to broadcast their status? They should but do they?
Good intentions but bad implementation
The fact that the app needs to run in the foreground make this app already a failure to combat exposure to COVID 19. Nobody is going to be walking around with the app open in their phone.
Works as described, easy to setup
I usually read reviews but don’t mist post them myself but I had to with this one. The negative people and comments seem to me to be from people who have an agenda or are what my brother calls technology perfectionists, he is a computer guy. That isn’t the real world. I wish my phone didn’t have to be recharged so often – but it doesn’t keep me from using it. This app requires you to go through some steps and rules to use it BUT IT IS DEFINITELY worth it in my opinion. I am no digital genius (I’ve been in a successful auto repair business for18 years) but I know when something works. This app by our county works. One more thing, I hate it when people make reviews and then speak bad about Miami-Dade. I have lived here my whole life and love it.

Doesn’t ask for your personal info
It really is anonymous!!!!!!!! I kept waiting for the moment when I was asked my name or email or something but nope it never happened. When I was downloading it I got distracted and started over again but it worked out really good and got set-up perfect.
I only go to church, work and a couple of places shopping, but will definitely follow the instructions and leave it on as they say. I have read some of the negative comments and I don’t agree at all. The app is type of thing that makes me feel good like with wearing my mask and also being careful around people. Thank you for it.

Good so far and I bet it’ll get better
CombatCOVID for Miami-Dade is better than I had thought it would be. I am 52 years old and not a technical incline person and was worried it would be too much for me. It was easy and the county seemed to have made it in a way for anyone to use even if they aren’t good at this.
My only advice would be to ask if it is possible for the app to give us pop-up news about COVID-19. Maybe they can’t do that and if it won’t work that’s OK because the app is good.

We like it, a good idea to use
My grandson will go back to school next month and my whole family has decided to download and use the app. Last night my husband and I and my daughter, and her husband all downloaded the CombatCOVID Miami-Dade app. It’s more important than ever for everyone to do everything they can to keep from getting infected.
When we downloaded the app we went through all the steps and it all seemed to work perfectly. We were looking for questions about us like our names and email or something but were really pleased it does seem to be really anonymous. That is good. I went to work this morning and so far its no issues. My husband says the same.
So far we like it and are glad the county made it.

A good tool to beat COVID
Downloaded and using it. Great to have for everyone. I really like that it doesn’t track or follow me around.
Get with it people!
App works great. There was no problems with the download on wifi. I hope everyone gets this app on their phones and use it all the time. Great way to get the crap out of this disease. Lets go people…..
Works with a fast setup
Fast and not hard to install and setup on my phone. App appears to work as they said it would.
Easy, plenty of info
Really easy to use and I like that it makes it much easier to do contract tracing for all of us. If I need any covid info I can just look it up on the app. The latest information looks like it is right there on the app.
Super useful. Easy to use.
They keep your info private. And won’t share your location. Both of which are important to me. Great job!
