Awful

Worst app ever. Each time I use it I am reminded how bad it is. 🤮

Garbage Grammar

The Red, Amber Blue pop-up warning is incomprehensible. Whoever signed off on it should be embarrassed. It is unclear, vague and comes with a 14-year jail sentence threat. Lovely. Welcome to 1984. Persistent surveillance and Amber bans and pointless masking continues to deter business travellers and tourists. Enough already

This app has no good purpose

Besides those we aren’t allowed to talk about.

Can’t turn off the password request

It’s supposed to have a settings button to “enable” the password function. And that doesn’t appear.

Otherwise I despise this app and it’s implementation into the culture of this city. That we are still doing this and there is no plan to take it down in site yet is completely ridiculous.
