I verified with another mutual contact that their app showed exposure details, but mine doesn’t for any of the days. Can’t figure out why it’s not working and I can’t reach support. ### 1/5 — 真的不好用用用用用 *2022-05-29, version 2.1.0* As title ### 1/5 — Broken, no support *2022-04-14, version 1.8.0* App doesn’t work and the support link sends you to the CDC homepage. ### 1/5 — English support *2021-05-18, version 1.2.1* It’s not hard to add English translations guys. There only like less than 50 words in the app. Come on. **Developer response:** App is now available in English, Thank you. ### 1/5 — No English *2021-05-16, version 1.2.1* No English mode and can’t use Apple service for covid either. **Developer response:** App is now available in English, Thank you. ### 2/5 — 要再支援更多版本 *2021-05-14, version 1.2.0* 最好是讓ios 11 ios 10甚至9能用才好！快改吧！ **Developer response:** 這些系統版本都早於武漢肺炎發生之前，因此也沒有相對應的暴露通知功能，不可能支援喔。 ### 3/5 — Great App to have but *2021-05-13, version 1.2.0* It would be great if the App has English support especially in line with Taiwan wanting English to be a second Language. **Developer response:** App is now available in English, Thank you. ### 3/5 — Google translate by screenshot *2021-05-12, version 1.2.0* I had to Google translate screenshots of each page to understand how to use. Not super helpful for non-Chinese speakers. Hoping just letting it run in the back is the purpose cause I can’t understand the rest 🤷🏻‍♀️ **Developer response:** App is now available in English, Thank you. ### 3/5 — Language support *2021-05-02, version 1.1.1* Many imported cases and contacts of imported cases are non-Chinese speaking. To fully protect the community, the app should be available in more languages. It helps to remember that Traditional Chinese characters are used by just 0.6% of the world’s population. **Developer response:** App is now available in English, Thank you. ### 4/5 — Notifications *2021-06-09, version 1.2.2* The app is a good idea to help with tracing but it sends a notification that when opened just leads to the app opening, not showing anything different and working fine. Could these false alarms be worked out? Or am I missing something here, my version is up to date. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 版面設計簡潔兼顧隱私的好用app *2022-04-28, version 2.0.0* 推薦這個app 出門時開啟藍芽 不用在店門口刷QR code 省卻很多時間 藍芽也不耗電 整天開下來約是2%的電量而已 重點是隱私權顧得很好 非常推薦！❤️💯 ### 5/5 — (Fixed!) Needs additional languages as soon as possible. *2021-05-20, version 1.2.2* Updated! Just got tonight’s first all-clear alert and it was suddenly in the OS language. Well done! Updated to five stars. Keep up the good work! Back in January 2020 the Taiwan CDC issued mask and distancing guidelines. Those guidelines, posted all over the country, were available from the start in: 繁體中文, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and English. While trust in the organization is high, the effectiveness of a contact app is in how many people install it. It needs localizations in those languages otherwise spread will occur through minority populations untraceably. Three stars for what looks like a solid, standards compliant IOS native app. Minus half a star each for the missing localizations. ### 5/5 — Background update. *2021-05-20, version 1.2.2* Great! English is now available. Does this app need to have background app update turned on at all times? **Developer response:** App is now available in English, Thank you. ### 5/5 — Language support ASAP *2021-05-17, version 1.2.1* At least English **Developer response:** App is now available in English, Thank you. ### 4/5 — Battery drain *2021-06-04, version 1.2.2* I support the use of this app to help keep everyone safe, but is there a way to reduce battery usage? On my iPhone 12 Pro Max my battery dropped about 20% overnight with most of the drain caused by this app. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that. If you are pretty sure no one will close to you when you sleep, and I believe in most case it is, you can turn the detecting off in app’s settings and turn it on wham you wake up. However there will be a chance forgetting to turn it on again. My suggestion will be alway keep exposure notification on, and charge your phone when you sleep. The epidemic will not last forever. ### 4/5 — 很不錯的匿名追蹤疫情軟體 *2021-05-21, version 1.2.2* 但使用上有一個使用體驗問題，身邊好幾個朋友都不知道要開啟藍芽才能正常追蹤身邊的藍芽裝置，當藍芽沒開啟的時候，按鈕跟警告文字是藍綠色，顏色視覺上無法達到清楚警告，要開啟藍芽才能正常運作。 ### 4/5 — English support *2021-05-19, version 1.2.2* Thanks for adding English **Developer response:** App is now available in English, Thank you. ### 4/5 — Languages *2021-05-12, version 1.2.0* Agree to add English to support the need of foreign language speakers. Absolutely NOT agree with the Simplified CHN; this is an APP developed by Taiwan government and Simplified Chinese is not an official language. **Developer response:** App is now available in English, Thank you. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
