Consistently useless when travelling
I work internationally and have tried on several occasions to use this app, none of them successfully.
The frustrating thing is that at home it works fine and I always check it to ensure it is working before leaving home. For example, the last three times now (twice in Dubai and once in Malaysia)I have tried to use it, the app just displays ‘Your Covid status will be displayed here once at least one of the following has occurred - you have at least one vaccination’ making it look like you’re not vaccinated at all.
Incredibly frustrating when there’s a huge queue behind you then you’re there faffing about trying to log into the website to generate a pdf certificate to show them instead.
I usually try to fly as paperless as I can but now I’m printing out the pdf from the website at home before leaving due to the app never working.

Needs fixing
The app is no longer working properly despite being needed for international travel. Currently in the US and have been relying on this app to prove vaccination status to enter venues. It was working fine, but now no longer shows vaccination status and will not refresh.
Thankfully the website still works and has enough information to be accepted in most places. A word of warning for anyone relying on the pdf/ paper copy... This will cause you hassle. After your booster, it will only show the last two doses and is therefore an incomplete record of vaccination.
The app is adequate when working, but the layout is poor. It’s impossible to get all the required information on one page for screenshots or print outs.

Not working
I’ve logged out and back in again, re-downloaded the app twice and refreshed a billion times. Every time I’m still greeted by “your covid status will be displayed here once you meet the requirements”. Yet if I switch to the EU passport side of the app, it can verify every single vaccination and booster I’ve had and when I have had it. That side works fine with the QR codes and everything so the app is clearly broken somehow and it’s very frustrating as I am now unable to be verified for domestic events. It’s extremely annoying as if you are going to make this app the standard and compulsory at most venues, PLEASE check it for bugs and make sure that it works first??

A bit fiddly but worked first time
Managed to sign up, take a photo of my ID and my face first time with an iPhone 8 Plus. The app is a bit clunky and slow but it verified all my details correctly on the first attempt. It shows my two vaccinations and my booster jag details in the international travel section. Don’t plan on travelling internationally anytime soon but it seems like more and more businesses and places of work will require proof of vaccination, so I’m pleased to have the app and that it’s working correctly. The app could be better/less clunky and it would be good if NHS Scotland and NHS England would adopt the use of one app in the future for use in both Scotland and England.

Useless
The step that asks you to verify your identity is broken. I tried several times on several different devices. Impossible to register and use.
