US Mobile # not recognized

I tried to register my USA mobile. This app did not recognize my selection and kept defaulting to Australia. Deleted it.

Scanning takes too long

Scanning takes far too long; should take less than a few hundred milliseconds but takes at least one second. Also craps out when you have no internet connection

User unfriendly

Very user unfriendly for visitors using a foreign number who are trying to do the right thing and set the tracer app up. I’ve tried dozens of times to set it up with a NZ phone number and the verification code never arrives. I’m a kiwi regularly visiting WA.

Randomly broken

After months of using this app every day, a recent update has logged me out and refuses to let me sign back in despite the correct login info. I press the login button, it spins, and nothing happens.
