Usual admin incoherence

This App asks you to set the type of test desired (3G, 2G, etc) before doing the test. Then displays a cryptic message if the result is negative.

So a 3G+ certificate will not pass if you have a "Covid Test" setting ....

This will unevitably lead to pointless and endless discussions when governing entrance to any establishment.

The app cannot say your certificate is invalid (see above example); it has to say what the certificate is (2G, 3G, etc...) and if the dates of emmission make it good; the the shop keeper can then say "I only accept 2G+ and your 'valid test' is not sufficient"

Otherwise if you say the "test" is invalid ... you are not saying the full picture

Dispicable that a government sanctionned app is so incoherent !

I would give it zerp stars if that was possible

Doesn’t recognize third dose

After the update it says the certificate “doesn’t have a valid signature.” It used to work well before.

Does not read both Latin and Cyrillic alphabet.

Quite disappointed. If my certificate is issued in a country that does not use Latin alphabet the name is written on both Latin and Cyrillic. However, this app only reads Cyrillic rather then picking up the international Latin alphabet.
