Tests Not Available

The tests for this device are no longer available for purchase anywhere.

This was a waste of money. The test I had expired a year later, so it was never used.

Extended expiration dates

App does not allow extended expiration dates and does not work in the background. Please fix this and add an Apple Watch app.

App makes own determination if your test is expired

You don’t really need an app for PCR tests - plenty of easy to follow PCR tests exist without one. But what you do get is software that can refuse to run if it doesn’t like the expiry date on a test. Maybe the FDA extends the test’s shelf life, or maybe you want to make an educated decision about how to interpret the result, but none of us that under your control, as the app may simply refuse to work.

Science good, App needs improvement

The step by step guide is good for first timer users, but repeat users should be able to skip through the video guides to speed up the process. It’s one of the reasons I don’t use their tests anymore.

Speed forward

After the 2nd time, would be great if we can speed forward. Takes forever that I rather not use the app.

App is useless and crashes often

There should be an option for users have already done at least one test for a more speedy run through. Not being able to skip parts we already know how to do having to use the built in timer which always takes longer than the hubs timer. So many issues and bugs with the app. Please provide a speed option for more savvy users who use the test more often and fix the bugs that exist on old and newer iPhones (13 pro here) I can’t wait to delete this app!

Useless

The test is dependent on the app. Woke up this morning and the app doesn’t work. It scans the test code and then just sits there spinning on step 1. Thankfully, I know how to run the test without the app.

Also, tests haven’t been available for almost two months now. I signed up for availability notifications, so I haven’t missed anything. I emailed Detect a few days ago, and they said it will be several weeks before more tests are available.

Don’t buy this system. It’s a failure across the board.

Server down

Getting a message that your server is down. Was planning to test my kid before school today.

Excellent COVID test, even better app experience

I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a quick, at-home COVID test that is of PCR quality. The app lays out very simply and intuitively exactly how to perform each step in the test. Both the test and the app are done extremely well and executed to the highest levels of quality and reliability.

awesome app

the whole product is so well done. I’ve been an IT guy for decades, and this is so simple, well thought-out, looks nice, well-paced without being hurried, lots of tiny details.

Tons of respect for the whole team.

oh, and my test was negative :)

Detect is the best home test

Detect is the most accurate and easy home test available today. The user experience is excellent and the piece of mind that it provides my family is so reassuring during this latest surge in COVID-19. The entire experience, from ordering to testing and reporting is exceptional. Thank you to the entire Detect team for the outstanding work!

Easy and accurate

The detect test is the first at home test that I feel confident in! Not only is the science behind the test unbelievable but this app really made the experience seamless. The instruction videos were informative and moved at a good speed (not too slow or fast). Overall really polished and can’t wait to get my hands on more tests when they finally come back in stock!

Peace of mind in 1 hour

Easy to use, clear, and well worth the money. Keep some at home!

Peace of mind

Detect is the best test for me and my family. We get much needed peace of mind by being able to test guests who come to our home. The test quality performance is great and results are in under 1 hour.

Such a game changer

This product will change the way we deal with our personal interactions. Being able to know in near real time that we are not going to infect the people we love prior to gathering is priceless.

Easy to use

Detect is super easy to use and makes a world of difference when it comes to feeling safe and healthy.

excellent user experience!

Very clear step by step instructions.
