### 2/5 — Covid?????

*2026-02-13, version 1.4.0*

What is the expiration date ?

### 4/5 — Test

*2025-09-19, version 1.4.0*

Negative

### 3/5 — Test kit

*2025-09-11, version 1.4.0*

The app is great but the test kit is something else . The Extraction reagent tubes are ALL completely dry except 1 .  That’s the one I am going to use right now .

### 3/5 — Nothing in tube

*2025-09-08, version 1.4.0*

Bad

### 5/5 — SO EASY!!!

*2025-04-05, version 1.4.0*

This app is so good that I’m only going to use these tests in the future whenever I have a choice. They have it setup where they have a very short, clear video for each step. When you’re done with that step, you have to click to get to the next step. That ensures there’s not a long video so that a person won’t accidentally skip a step or get lost in the video. I highly recommend this version/brand of test and using this app! Plus they enable you to report to the CDC and to email your result to somebody, like your doctor!

### 5/5 — Covid Testing

*2025-02-14, version 1.4.0*

Absolutely wonderful I wish this app had been available to me three years ago.  It may have been, but I didn’t know it.

### 5/5 — Rapid test

*2025-01-29, version 1.4.0*

Easy to understand and follow

### 5/5 — I health Covid-19 Test

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I don’t want the app

*2025-12-05, version 1.4.0*

Just give me instructions on using the product

### 1/5 — Farming data?

*2025-07-29, version 1.4.0*

The app used to work just fine without a login. The fact that it’s required now is concerning. No thanks!

### 1/5 — Illume Covid test kit does not work

*2025-05-31, version 1.4.0*

We received a newer version of the Covid test which appears to need a phone app to get results.  It does not work. The app on phone is instructions for the older test kits of several years ago. The linkage on the box takes one to a Chinese online gambling site.  The 888 telephone number does not work.  The web page for the company tries to sell books about peptides and asks for credit card information and then I explicitly took me to the web page for the LA times

### 1/5 — Unnecessary

*2025-05-03, version 1.4.0*

There's no reason why I need an app and to make an account to check if I have Covid.

### 1/5 — Data farm

*2025-04-06, version 1.4.0*

Why in the world does this need an app with a log in. I get the app, you want to show videos in a specific order. (Though a piece of paper would have been better) But why in the world does you need my email? 
Your app is bad (in concept) and you should feel bad.

### 1/5 — No instructions

*2025-04-01, version 1.4.0*

There are no instructions on how to use the test kit unless you download the application and that’s where the problem begins on top of your distressful situation of not knowing the outcome of a life-changing event.

### 1/5 — Don’t farm data. Give instructions

*2025-03-01, version 1.4.0*

app was required to complete Covid test. Shameful.

### 1/5 — Very complicated

*2025-02-12, version 1.4.0*

So I’m sick as a dog and decide I should take a Covid test. There were no instructions in the box. Just an instruction to use a QR code. So first I had to look up how to download a QR code. Then it wanted me to open an acct. Come on! I am really sick here and can barely move. Luckily I had another box van of tests that I could use.  Just ridiculous

### 1/5 — Wrong instruction

*2025-01-11, version 1.4.0*

My test kit is completely different from the video!!

### 1/5 — Bad Product

*2024-10-02, version 1.4.0*

App instruction ask for your information and provide steps for a product that does not match the packaging. The app went through the steps for conducting the test using materials that were not present in the testing kit. Waste of time, waste of money. Over engineered analysis strip that doesn’t allow you to see the results unless it connects to your phone with Bluetooth- which it probably will not. 

Get a testing kit that doesn’t require an app to read and use.

### 5/5 — Covid Test

*2026-06-29, version 1.4.0*

It was easy to do.

### 5/5 — Self care and self control

*2025-12-16, version 1.4.0*

It’s nice to able self register to CDC as well as to your health insurance provider.

### 5/5 — Easy testing

*2025-11-21, version 1.4.0*

Love the do at home COVID-19 tests. It’s fast and reliable and easy to follow steps

### 5/5 — Excellent Instructions

*2025-09-04, version 1.4.0*

Easy to follow the instructions to perform the Covid-19 test. It provides the confidence that  one is performing the test correctly and that the readings are accurate.

### 5/5 — Review: antigen rapid test COVID-19

*2025-09-02, version 1.4.0*

I’ve only done the video test. I haven’t done the actual testing yet. I can only judge it by the video.

### 5/5 — It’s Good

*2025-09-01, version 1.4.0*

I’ve no issues.

### 5/5 — Informational

*2025-08-28, version 1.4.0*

Very helpful and information provided in detail on how to use and results. It had been a while since I had used a Covid test and could not remember what I was looking for so when I downloaded the app off the side of the box and after going through the app, we had no more questions and knew exactly what to do and what to look for. I would highly recommend this app to anyone. Even if you know what to do this allows you to add your family and track any results and tests.

### 5/5 — Easy

*2025-08-23, version 1.4.0*

Step by step video instructions. Also has the option to send to your doctor or the CDC!

### 5/5 — Just tried it

*2025-05-14, version 1.4.0*

Nice to have available.   I hope it works.

### 5/5 — Easy peasy

*2025-04-18, version 1.4.0*

So easy!!!
