16 or older?

I’m fourteen and school is starting soon. I thought I should have the app. Now I’m told that I can’t use the app because I’m under 16? I’m sure that this app is really useful and is to protect the public, but why can’t kids going to school use it?

Too sensitive

Overly sensitive and banned by my employer because of it.

Disgusting

Not a citizen here in the UK but am required to download this app in order to submit my 2 negative test results during quarantine. It’s an indication of a depraved society that we have imprisoned healthy, often times immune or vaccinated people for weeks on end. Now add to that an app that tracks your location “anonymously” just so a “free” people might be allowed, by their benevolent government, to leave their own homes and attend their own businesses within their own communities. What’s worse is that everyone has begged for this level of surveillance and control in order to FEEL just a gram safer. I feel physically ill and I’m overcome with a sense of dread that I cannot fully explain with this app installed on my tracking device. I will delete as soon as possible! “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety” Benjamin Franklin

£36 Million 🤦🏼‍♂️

I mean it works okay, has bugs and some thing don’t function properly. But for a £36 million (tax payer’s money) app I expect a lot better and more testing to have been done.
