User reviews

Doesn’t play well with iOS 14.2

Keeps crashing.

Excellent privacy 1st approach

Full disclosure: I am part of the team working on this app. I think that makes me more knowledgeable not biased. I saw how the sausage was made and I believe in it. This app is from a non-profit foundation trying to help the world find a path forward. The app is solid but only one piece of the puzzle; you need your local Public Healthcare Authority to deploy their services with the app so people know what to do if they test positive. I like that the location data is stored on my phone and no one can see it but me unless I choose to share it. I gave 4 instead of 5 stars because the Public Health Authority in my state has not adopted this solution so I cannot get full functionality.

Useless without more health dept partners. If you not in WY you are being fooled.

Doesn’t do anything

Hasn’t done anything for me. Can’t see anyone around me. Accuracy seems poor though.

Great concept and mission, but needs wider adoption to work

I love how the app is designed with privacy in mind and doesn’t track your location using GPS tech.

But the app needs more users for us to receive updates on whether someone we’ve been near is actively exhibiting COVID19 symptoms or not.
