This app doesn’t allow for any booster information and I have had two. I went to Africa with the state of California app which shows every shot taken including date, mfg, vial number etc. I also got GoGetDoc. It lets you put in all the data you have as well. The show requires this app, NHS app (I do t live in the UK), Canadian app. Perhaps you could fix it? Folks travel to NYC from outside the state ### 2/5 — Needs enhancements for additional photos *2022-10-24, version 1.3.0* Second sides and additional cards needs to be able to be included for vaccines. I cant believe this is not here yet ### 2/5 — Needs updating for 5th shot! *2022-10-07, version 1.3.0* They need to make it possible to add another vaccine page - now that people can have a 5th shot, that info appears on the other side of the vaccine card. Right now the app can just accept one side of the card. ### 4/5 — Reverse of vaccine card *2022-09-28, version 1.3.0* The back of the card has spaces for boosters but the app doesn't allow one to upload a photo of the reverse side of the card where boosters are recorded. I loaded the photo in the test space but while it retains the photo it shows up as expired. Need to update the app to show photos of more than one vaccine card photo per person. ### 2/5 — Won’t allow 2 photos *2022-07-13, version 1.3.0* For my 2nd booster, they had to use an additional vaccine card because my other was full. Similarly, for my daughter’s 2nd shot we forgot to bring her vaccine card, so they put it on a 2nd card. This app doesn’t allow one to add multiple photos for the same person. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2022-02-21, version 1.3.0* I love this app because it’s makes it very easy to be able to show your vaccination card and id though one app when you go to places that you need your proof of vaccination and id to enter since most places now days require your proof of vaccination everyway you go nowadays without having to show your vaccination card on a different app and then having to look for my id to show along with my vaccination card. I will definitely recommend this app to all my friends that I have that are on already useing this app to store your vaccination card on this app. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2022-02-07, version 1.3.0* This app made our trip SO easy. We were in the city for the weekend with four kids (two ours and two friends). We went to a Broadway show and out to restaurants. The app made it all so easy! I’d uploaded everyone’s vaccine cards. Clearly businesses know the app, and it made vaccine verification so simple. ### 1/5 — App needed for child under 17 *2022-02-06, version 1.3.0* My daughters are under 17 and need the app to enter certain venues, especially during school trips and family events. I’m not sure how NYC expects children under 17 to show proof at these venues but then prevents them from having access to such an important app. ### 3/5 — Confused by App content *2022-01-28* I’m travelling to USA in April with an Antigen Covid19 test taken day before travel. This is acceptable under USA Entry Requirements but this App recommended by British Airways only refers to a PCR test taken within the last 7 days. Does that mean the negative Antigen test results are not acceptable in NYC establishments? ### 4/5 — Please add option for 2nd photo *2022-01-25, version 1.3.0* Love the app - it’s simple and does the job. One suggested improvement - some venues require proof of booster. That proof was put on the back of my vax card. I’d like to be able to upload two pics of my vax card to the app for this purpose. ## Frequently asked questions about NYC COVID SAFE ### What does the NYC COVID SAFE app do?
