## What is SMART Health Card Verifier?

The SMART Health Card Verifier app allows you to scan a SMART Health Card QR code to quickly verify an individual’s COVID-19 test or vaccination credential. Scanning a SMART Health Card QR code:
    • Verifies whether the SMART Health Card is valid (i.e., not tampered with)
    • Confirms the SMART Health Card was issued by a participant in The CommonTrust Network’s Registry of trusted issuers
    • Displays key information on the SMART Health Card (issuer name, vaccine or test type, dates of vaccine doses or test, and name and date of birth of recipient)

Businesses like bars, restaurants, schools, and live event venues can use this free app to validate SMART Health Cards upon entry.  
NOTE: The Verifier app only scans SMART Health Cards. It does not scan paper CDC cards. 

What is a SMART Health Card?
A SMART Health Card is a digital or printed version of your vaccination history or test results, shared through QR Codes and issued by supported states, pharmacies, and providers.

Who is issuing SMART Health Cards that are verified by the app?
Here is a list of issuers whose SMART Health Cards will be verified by the app: https://www.commontrustnetwork.org/verifier-list

If you have not been issued a SMART Health Card yet, please watch for news from your state or provider as many will be adding the SMART Health Card option in the coming months.

This registry is powered by the CommonTrust Network. To be recognized as part of the CommonTrust Network, issuers must be confirmed as trusted entities and must issue verifiable credentials.

SMART Health Card Verifier is a service brought to you by The Commons Project Foundation.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2023-12-18, version 2.0.2*

App doesn’t work properly. It won’t load anything after I scan a QR code.

### 1/5 — QR Code Not Supported

*2022-12-27, version 2.0.0*

I have a QR Code containing my vaccination card and the app tells me it’s not supported. I do not recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Worked as advertised

*2022-11-20, version 1.0.59*

Downloaded , worked as advertised. No issues with crashing.       Like that there was no login

### 5/5 — Works Exactly as Intended

*2022-11-13, version 1.0.59*

I’ve read so many reviews saying it doesn’t save the scanned record locally (good! it’s meant to perform quick validation, not long-term storage of another’s health records), that it doesn’t include all your doses (check with who issued your QR code, not the validator), or that the codes aren’t valid (likely the issuer had their keys compromised or weren’t following protocol and have to reissue codes).

None of this is the validation program’s fault. In fact, I praise them for continuing to produce a quality program that does exactly what it claims to do, securely. Nice job.

### 1/5 — Can’t display 5 COVID vaccine shots

*2022-11-06, version 1.0.59*

Ontario is encouraging 5 shots now. This Smart QR code verifier displays my vaccination history for the first 4, but ignores the 5th and most recent. 

Not good

### 1/5 — Server Error

*2022-10-24, version 1.0.58*

Worked great for a couple of weeks but now getting an error message: Alert. Server Error. Please try to scan again.  I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but it does not fix the issue. I would love for technical support in this issue.

### 1/5 — can’t even scan images from the phone

*2022-10-22, version 1.0.58*

who is so stupid to develop a scanner that can’t even scan the images from the phone?

### 5/5 — Flying colours

*2022-10-20, version 1.0.58*

First used to test this since other were removed by the Alberta government because of the Covid restrictions are lower or removed, their app were removed and this was found in place of the findings. It works just like other one issues by Alberta government healthcare system in similar manner. This is mainly for Canada due other reviews that stated words connected with this country. ☝️☝️👍👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

### 1/5 — Kaiser member

*2022-09-14, version 1.0.45*

Difficult to use. Practically useless and a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Can't save record

*2022-08-19, version 1.0.45*

I scanned the record and program appeared to save record.  Screen went to Scan Next Record but no way to indicate there's no other records to scan and no way to view the saved record.
