### 1/5 — They’ve got guns at all the doors

*2021-09-01, version 1.7.0*

… all to coerce me to get the jab. I won’t be coming back.

### 1/5 — Best app for slowing the spread

*2021-08-30, version 1.7.0*

Given the crowd on campus, what more can you ask for other than responsiblue

### 1/5 — Terrible Idea

*2021-08-08, version 1.7.0*

Terrible

Totally pointless.

### 1/5 — A comedic application

*2022-04-26, version 2.0*

What a joke

### 1/5 — Completely pointless

*2022-03-09, version 2.0*

If you really think about it what is the point of this? What is the point of Liberty Security standing at the doors as well? Literally no point

### 1/5 — What is the point for having this useless screening?

*2022-03-09, version 2.0*

Who will say “YES I have a fever. Stop me from entering the building!!!”?
Stupid app

### 1/5 — UofM doesn’t care about COVID

*2022-03-09, version 2.0*

this app does absolutely nothing. Some people even just screenshot the green check mark and show it instead of actually using it. No one answers the questions truthfully let alone read them. This is Security Theater at it’s finest

### 1/5 — Added more clicks

*2022-03-08, version 1.8.0*

Latest version added two additional clicks— One at the beginning of the screening process to “start screening check”, and one at the end to show the green check for entry to work.  Simply adds time meaninglessly to the process.  Remove the extra steps!!!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2021-12-23, version 1.7.0*

Doesn’t even work. Login page has an error every time. Useless in concept and even more useless in action.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-12-03, version 1.7.0*

Does not update

### 1/5 — Communist U of M at it again!!

*2021-10-28, version 1.7.0*

The University Of Michigan is at it again! No privacy for its employees. This is the most useless thing I have ever had to do. Accomplishes nothing. It’s all about control at the U.

### 1/5 — Stalking made simple

*2021-09-14, version 1.7.0*

An easy way for people to share their private medical information with those who have no business possessing it.

### 1/5 — go green

*2021-09-03, version 1.7.0*

go green

### 5/5 — Easy To Use

*2022-08-11, version 2.0.2*

I use this every day. It takes five seconds to complete. Reliable and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2021-08-23, version 1.7.0*

This app is great! Never had so much fun being responsible and blue.

### 5/5 — Good App

*2021-04-17, version 1.5.0*

Good and easy to use.

### 4/5 — Decent app

*2021-06-02, version 1.6.0*

Would be great if the reminder would allow specific days of the week to be selected for those who work weekends but not necessarily every weekday.

### 4/5 — 👍🏻

*2020-09-18, version 1.1.4*

IMMENSELY better than the annoying webpage screening. I’m surprised UM doesn’t have workers at the entrances of all buildings taking temperatures, though. Something to think about..

### 3/5 — Love jumping through hoops:)

*2021-08-27, version 1.7.0*

Total life saver as I would not know I was sick if I didn’t read these questions daily. Thanks guys!

### 2/5 — Unpractical

*2022-03-09, version 2.0*

It is not practically designed. I have to click on the least intuitive part of the screen to fill out my survey, and once it is done, use the “back” arrow to go back to the green check mark. It can be much better designed in my opinion.

### 2/5 — Useless questionaries

*2021-02-23, version 1.5.0*

The questions are useless. You can just answer no to all questions to get a safe green. It takes literally three seconds and nobody reads the questions. I fail to see how it is to insure safety rather than wasting time. People don’t need to answer questions to realize they have symptoms. They need thermometer. They might not necessarily choose to tell the truth in the app either. It saves money than setting up temperature checkpoints at building entrances, but does it work at all?

Weekly test completion status is helpful.

### 2/5 — Cool but useless

*2020-11-18, version 1.2.0*

The UX of the app is great, very easy to use!

That being said, this accomplishes nothing. There’s no accountability or verification of the answers someone selects are valid, so it’s basically synonymous to the “terms and agreements” page that everyone says they read but no one does. 

Seems to me like a way to say UM is slowing the spread without investing much capital. One idea is to have students tested 1-2 times weekly with the saliva test and have the results sync up to the app and use that to access campus buildings.
