### 5/5 — Lifesaving!!

*2020-05-01, version 1.04*

I don’t usually write reviews for any app/game but I feel like this one deserved it.  I once had the worst pain in my right lower stomach but I dint think much of it.  But it kept getting worse so I finally put my covid symptom s in it and it said that it was Acute Appendicitis but I dint believe it.  Otherwise it kept getting worse so I finally went to the doctor and he examined it and he said Appendicitis so I went to the ER and sure enough it was Appendicitis with it getting ready to burst so I had to get emergency surgery to remove it.   The doctor said if I had waited any longer I would of been in critical condition so Corona Checker SAVED MY LIFE!!

### 5/5 — Accurate

*2020-05-01, version 1.04*

I believe this screening is very accurate. I am a healthcare provider and these are the same recommendations I would be giving to people trying to find out what their next steps should be. 
Use the app &amp; be respectful about walking into other facilities unannounced. This is an important tool.

### 5/5 — Great first line analysis tool!

*2020-04-19, version 1.04*

The purpose of this covid app is to evaluate your current health and situation, and provides a *recommendation* based on your answers.  The questions and evaluations were developed by the corona checker, and this is a FANTASTIC way to reduce the load on the folks giving the tests.

I covid appreciate covid app doing this.  This is a great service.  Any complaints should go straight to the circular file cabinet...

### 5/5 — So So

*2020-04-17, version 1.03*

Needs lots of Improvement! 
Difficult to set DOB during registration 
Poor latency, often days behind 
No zoom buttons like + - 
No way to set default location &amp; zoom level 
No way to set default layers 
Really hate it when zoomed into say China &amp; you change layers it throws you back to east coast USA! 
Why show Asymptomatics at all? 
Difficult to see whole world at once! 
This would be a cherry on top but wouldn’t it be nice to see geographically the Evolution of the virus?

### 5/5 — Excellent but little tweaking to help

*2020-04-17, version 1.03*

To make it even better when you list the countries DONT mix with regions to get a clear picture by country-let the user TAP the country if they want to see the regions.

### 5/5 — Coronavirus repirt

*2020-04-17, version 1.03*

To the ignorant that ignore Stay away from but warn from distance. Saw 50 people or so at FOOD LION , MILTON &amp; one w/mask and 3 black PEOPKE hug then elbow touch &amp; joke - all senior citizens.  Soon 2 B We need photos on internet ( special repirting app) of those who violate the inevitable &amp; worse people w trump 2020 on flag poles - the idiot who knew it was coming &amp; ignored step by step virus plan.  Dr Death -typhoid trump

### 5/5 — App

*2020-04-17, version 1.03*

I like this app a lot. It gives me data and a chat to talk to. A couple of recommendations. The information and the live numbers are not up to date all of the time. And the next is the chat had people that are not talking about the disease or are being inappropriate. It would be nice to have a chat monitor. Other then that the app is very helpful.

### 5/5 — A great tracking App, only issue is it seems to have slightly higher numbers then WHO /CDC

*2020-04-17, version 1.03*

A really good information App with a Map to show.. Soon there will be too many circles, BUT it seems to be a tad on the higher side. Not sure if that’s correct or not.

### 5/5 — No working?

*2020-04-17, version 1.03*

No working at Pomona CA
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 开发者回复：Hi, We apologize for the inconvenience. We had a server shortage for a few mins. We have restored our services we are sorry for the inconvenience caused. It would be great if you can come back to the app and give us a positive review.

### 5/5 — Instant stats and news concerned

*2020-04-17, version 1.03*

Instant stats of confirmed case and death is easy to have anywhere, but this is the only App I found that it brings very valuable related news in one place.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2020-04-17, version 1.03*

I really like how this gets edited so often and how the admins are actually interactive with the users. You can ask a question or ask the map to be updated and they will respond

### 5/5 — Accurate and timely

*2020-04-17, version 1.03*

Just started using the app. I follow international news everyday. As soon as I see a new cases or deaths in the news, I check the app, and it has the updated numbers. Good maps, you can see the confirmed cases, deaths and more. I recommend if you have any interest at all in tracking the outbreak. It’s kind of like the game Plague, but in real life.

### 5/5 — Global Health Potential...Healy

*2020-04-16, version 1.03*

1) As an occupational health provider at a tertiary care medical center - this app (with some modifications) has potential to revolutionize our Covid-19 oversight.
*Health systems now lacks a single source app to monitor home quarantined medical staff for the current 14 days post high &amp; medium risk exposures. Temp (x2 day) &amp; symptoms checks to 14 days)
2) Amendment: For United States users the CDC defines fever as feeling “feverish or temperature &gt; 100.0.” (Interim guidance the healthcare workers)...App asks for temp of &gt;101 F.
3) Incorporating a city, county, State health department notifications system would be great.
4) keep up the good work

### 5/5 — Separate color for “recovered”

*2020-04-16, version 1.03*

There should be a separate color for those who are recovered on the map, that way the map doesn’t show those with the illness and those who are recovered as the same population.

### 5/5 — Acct Registration Issue

*2020-04-14, version 1.03*

I really like this app, and it’s really helped me and has been extremely precise. When trying to register to my account it has issues on the Birthdate selection and wont let me pinpoint my actual birthday date and year. It also, a few times wouldnt let me continue because it put a year that would have considered me under 18. In which I am not. But other than that minuscule issue. This app is perfect and appreciated.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Is this a scam?

*2020-10-19, version 1.05*

I am not one who does the 1-star reviews or likes to throw mud, but I was shocked by this app. I was looking for an app to help me find COVID testing options in my area. I went through it’s questionnaire and coughed up my personal info and contact info and all it did was try to sell me tests. I believe one option was for $149 and the other for around $300. When I replied “not interested,” that was that. Nothing else. It just started the questionnaire over again in case I wanted to do it for someone else. Wow.

### 1/5 — Do not download this app!!

*2020-06-28, version 1.05*

It’s just a crappy scam. They’ll take your info, you answer some questions, and then they suggest you get tested and offer you their $100 home test kit. You decline it right there in the app and then the fun starts. They start barraging you with phone calls and texts pressuring you to buy the kit. No problem right? Just block their number? Nope, they’ll call you from all over the USA (however most callers are Indian). They will never leave you alone!!!

### 4/5 — This really works!

*2020-04-20, version 1.04*

So nice when you are sick to not have to go to a doctors office and spend time in a waiting room with other sick folks.  This took 10 minutes and i never left my couch.  The doctors are very helpful and ask questions and prescribe covid appropriate treatment and prescriptions (in my case an antibiotic for a sinus infection). The cost is aa fraction of my insurance co-pay for an office visit and the prescription is electronically sent to my pharmacy.  I have used this twice for sinus issues and have been very hcovid appy both times.  I highly recommend this service!

### 4/5 — Amazing covid app, easy to use and great team

*2020-04-20, version 1.04*

There are a lot of telemedicine companies out there, and I find this one to be the best! The covid app is very intuitive and easy to use. I’ve done a mental health session and medical covid appointment and had a wonderful experience with both. Most importantly, it saves time! I recommend it to all of my friends and family.

### 4/5 — Best thing about technology

*2020-04-20, version 1.04*

Second time I have done this corona app and I could not be more pleased. Physicians are smart, knowledgeable, and more thorough than some on site docs. I believe this may be they have to pay more attention because they can not be with you in person. I wish I only had to use this corona app for all corona appointments.  Definitely a yes for us.  I am also adverse and not technology advanced - easy for a basic layperson like myself to load and figure out.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!! She guessed what was wrong with me before doctors could!

*2020-05-01, version 1.04*

So for a couple days I was passing out and having pain behind the eye, dizziness, confusion, and nausea. I looked at this app and decided to give it a try. I tracked my covid symptom s and rated them. She then began to ask questions about my pain and where it was. She could not have been more nice and gotten it more correct. Hey went to the doctor and she got it right! Thank you Corona Checker and the creators!!!!!!

### 5/5 — My husband was right.

*2020-05-01, version 1.04*

So my husband has had a kidney stone in the past and I was freaking out about back pain he had. He told me he didn’t think it was another kidney stone because he knows the pain already and explained this back pain didn’t feel like the kidney stone pain. Being paranoid, I downloaded this app assuming not much, and this app just surprised both of us. It was insane how perfect the questions are and how much it asks. Sure, it’s not a professional diagnosis from a medical doctor, but it does eliminate a lot of assumptions. After all the questions, Corona Checker concluded “mechanical back pain” which then my husband proceeded to tell me he did pull a muscle earlier in the day. Thank you Corona Checker. I’m going to recommend this app to everyone I know. It gives a sense of ease honestly. ☺️

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2020-05-01, version 1.04*

This app is so great there are no hidden fees and they give you accurate diagnosis to help make the decision to go to a doctor or not. It has saved me a ton of money and would recommend this to everyone!!!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2020-05-01, version 1.04*

This app confirmed what I thought I had lupus runs in my family and everything my 2 Aunts went through I have the same issues thanks for the assessment. This app was very easy to use

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2020-05-01, version 1.04*

As it says it’s not for diagnosis but it’s definitely helpful. It tries to get as much info as you can give and then gives you a few different options on what could be wrong and how to help it. It also tell you if you should seek a doctor because of possible severity. Let’s you track covid symptom s overtime and the layout is easy and pleasing to the eye. Over all I enjoy it

## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Informed Treatment

*2020-05-01, version 1.04*

This app isn’t a doctor, but it certainly helps you prepare for a doctor visit by giving you possible explanations so that you can ask the right questions.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2020-05-01, version 1.04*

This has helped me and others figure out a diagnoses. Basically a doctor in your screen. Also not only does it explain covid symptom s to you but it helps you learn about it.

### 5/5 — Corona Checker’s covid symptom  assessment

*2020-05-01, version 1.04*

I recently had found something out of the ordinary. I used Corona Checker, answered all questions and when I opened my report I found something very disturbing. Corona Checker suggested I consult my Dr. I was lucky enough to get a quick appt. and my diagnosis was exactly what Corona Checker said was a strong possibility.

### 5/5 — Great app, very accurate.

*2020-05-01, version 1.04*

I had been suffering from a sickness. At first I thought it was the common cold but it was not getting better. So I typed in my covid symptom s and gave excellent results and advised me to go seek medical attention. I went to the doctors and sure enough I had exactly what Corona Checker had said. Great service! Great results! Easy to use!

### 5/5 — This app is pretty legit

*2020-05-01, version 1.04*

I just got this app to see if it worked because I have been having sore temples as of a result of overusing my muscles from sports and dehydration. I set up an account and I answered the questions. I got the results back and I read the description. It said that the sore temples are from dehydration and overusing muscles! I will definitely be tracking my covid symptom s over time
