App deleted. ### 1/5 — Not effective *2020-07-16, version 1.5* I’ve had this app for several weeks. My location is always on, yet it does not know my location from a few days ago. It searched on one day for longer than I could wait trying to retrieve my location until I finally gave up waiting. I checked another day and it had no location. Some days it works and other days it does not. It’s not reliable, so I’m deleting. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-07-15, version 1.5* I have to continually login even though it says I am logged in. And my passwords are not saved so I have to start all over again each time I want to use the app. What is the point? If it cannot save my login information, what is it actually doing for me? ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-06-30, version 1.5* Pretty useless. Does not recognize my email and sign in info. Can’t re set password. Needs major fixes. Can’t recommend. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2020-06-30, version 1.5* I signed up for an account months ago I’ve tried to use this I have waited for updates to hopefully fix this. I am logged in but all it gives me is a page telling me to login even though if I click on the log out it says that I’m logged in am i sure i want to log out and if I go to the accounts it shows my account including my user name and email. I can’t actually get any data though. All I get is the request to login repeatedly even though I’m logged in. My phone and my tablet apparently didn’t save my login/password or it’s under some other app name that I cannot figure out. when I go into my settings and look up my passwords and accounts there is nothing there for contact tracing. I’ve tried to reset my password, but even though it says I’m logged in to my username and my email it says that my email doesn’t exist. When I tried to sign up for a new account it says my user name is already taken. Yes. by me and I could see when I look in my account that it’s there and is my account, But nothing works. There is no way to collect data. ### 2/5 — Not ready for release yet *2020-06-10, version 1.4.1* I deleted this app because when I set it to “always on”, my phone would repeatedly ask for my Apple account password. ### 2/5 — Not effective and kills battery *2020-05-29, version 1.4.0* This is not a mature app. It ate almost 25% of my battery with background activity alone!! ### 1/5 — Overheating issues? *2020-05-27, version 1.4.0* I had issues with my phone overheating. It started when I installed the app and lasted two days until I deleted the app. ### 1/5 — I won’t use this app *2020-05-25, version 1.4.0* This app has major flaws. Ones that will compromise your privacy. I never planned on using it was testing it for a friend that thinks this is a good idea. It’s not. Don’t fall for government control. ### 4/5 — Really like it, one suggestion *2020-05-24, version 1.4.0* Can you add an option to be able to share 2 week location history with family/friends at the click of a button? That would make it particularly useful and reduce stress when social distancing in harder situations. ## Frequently asked questions about Contact Tracing ### How does Contact Tracing notify me of potential exposure?
