User reviews

The app won’t even open

I was told I need to use this app, but it doesn’t even open, it just glitches out and crashes before it can load enough to open.

SMS Verification Not Working for USA

I’ve tried for several days to register my U.S. phone number and no activation codes are sent. I’m uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and nothing works. Very frustrating as I prep to for my trip and want to be properly notified of my test result after arrival.

Unable to receive verification code

I entered my country code (US 1) and phone number, and never received the verification code.

Also, for selecting language, it would be handy to have the language in THAT LANGUAGE, as it wasn’t immediately obvious that Enska was English.

Want to help keep COVID cases low, but this app isn’t going to do it. Will rely on vaccines and masks.

Useless so far.

I downloaded this app because it was recommended by the Icelandic travel documents. I’m unable to enter my area code from my American cell phone number. You can scroll through many area codes but they don’t have every code that exists and don’t allow you to enter yours. Now I can’t get the code that they are supposed to text to me.

Almost works

The app has some excellent graphics and explainers, but breaks as soon as I:
• Try to set it up without an internet connection
• Try to set it up outside of Iceland
• Try to set it up without a phone number

It also breaks on older iPhones (I have a 6S) although this has been now fixed. Once broken, it will never work again, even in Iceland. The fix is simple, delete and reinstall.

FAQ

What does Rakning C-19 do?

Rakning C-19 is the official digital contact tracing app for Iceland. It helps prevent the spread of COVID-19 by anonymously notifying users if they have been in close contact with another app user who has been diagnosed with COVID-19.

How does the app ensure privacy?

The app uses the COVID-19 Exposure Notification system developed by Apple and Google, which relies on random Bluetooth IDs. No one can see your identity or location, and you cannot see the identity of those you may have been in close contact with. If you share a diagnosis, your identity remains private.

Does the app track my location?

No, the app does not use or register any location data. It solely relies on Bluetooth technology for proximity detection between devices.

What should I do if I receive a notification?

If you receive a notification indicating you have been in close contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19, the app will provide instructions on what you should do. This guidance is designed to help you take appropriate steps to protect yourself and others.

Is this app free to use?

Yes, Rakning C-19 is a free application developed by the Directorate of Health in Iceland to aid in the prevention of COVID-19 spread. There are no in-app purchases or advertisements associated with its use.
