Intrusive and clunky

Deleted 10 mins after requirement to check in at restaurants removed. Good riddance.

Dictatorship

This is crazy

Great app

This is a great app to trace movements. Important to realize that this contributes to social responsibility. We are all in this pandemic together. And we can only get out of it if we help each other by doing the right thing. Checking in and out of public venues is an important part of that social responsibility. My only suggestion is I hope TraceTogether will support Apple Watch.

Slow update after serology test

It’s been 3 days after positive serology test results and my vaccination status still has not been updated as vaccinated. It also did not send me a reminder that I needed a serology test after entering more than 30 days. So dumb and slow.
Finally updated after 5 days.

Randomly failed to show vaccination status

This app is mandated by the gov, which without it there’s no where you can go in Singapore. As important as it is, the app is inconsistent and randomly fails to show vaccination status even though you’re fully vaccinated, barring you to enter some venues when you need it the most. The app is also battery hog, you’d start to wonder what it actually do in the background and what data it collects.

Vaccinated to non-vaccinated

This app is completely worthless! After coming through immigration and proving my vaccinated status, for 4 weeks I had no issues. I’m here working so I require and vaccinated status. I had to go in to work one night on an emergency and get to the gate and voila my vaccinated status is now un-vaccinated. Explain this to me because once you take the vaccine it doesn’t seep back out of you. And help from the app seems to be non-existent. Now I’m hearing I may have to go and take a blood test to once again prove to these morons that I’m still vaccinated that nothing has changed. Poor decision in using a non-reliable app to prove you are vaccinated!

Cannot check-in or out with TT app.

Really buggy TT app.
Initially last month able to use TT app on iOS to check in and out. Starting this month, not sure why, cannot use TT app any more. Off/on bluetooth. Restart app , all cannot work.

Restart start iPhone, finally can use TT app, ONE TIME. Then after that cannot use any more. Tried to restart bluetooth , restart TT app, cannot.

Not sure if i missed any setting or I’m the only one.

Adding vaccine card as a foreigner

App does not support. Singapore Govt. does not know how to put foreigner vaccine info or official vaccine card on app

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you for writing in to us. We would like to inform you that in order to display your vaccination status on the App, you will need to visit a healthcare provider who will scan the cert to verify its authenticity and assist to ingest the overseas vaccination records. For more info, you may refer to http://go.gov.sg/postvacc.

The Exposure Alert is Important

I would like to know that a vendor or delivery person hasn’t received a possible exposure alert before allowing him/her into my premises. Removing that feature was a bad decision.

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you for writing in and we appreciate your feedback. We have taken note of this and will relay it to the relevant team for consideration as we build on additional feature enhancements for TraceTogether. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Works well

Check ins are seamless. Records nearby devices well. Appreciate that all the Bluetooth records of nearby devices are only stored on my phone and I have the choice to upload it if I get covid (which I hope I don’t)

Response from developer

Hi, TraceTogether was built to complement Singapore's contact tracing efforts, hence we require a local phone number in order to register an account. We are working on making the app available for other countries beyond Singapore. For more information, please see: BlueTrace.io

Brilliantly Safe

I feel completely safe during this pandemic k having such a great app. I understand the UX could be improved with time. But right now we need a functioning app and it does a fantastic job. The new tap in feature works like a charm!

Hi nunobb, thank you for writing in and we appreciate your feedback!

Wow, very disappointed

Try to add my fin number, have my ID next to me, and it says ‘Invalid number’. I can’t go anywhere. Thanks idiots.

Horrible app. Inadequate support.

This app is required to enter any building, shop, cafe, etc. in Singapore. So it’s proper functioning is critical. But it is terrible. The app was failing to read QR codes so I had to reload it. The fresh app would not accept my mobile number, so the app would not work. I checked with the local telco carrier, Singtel, and they said that there were no problems with my number. But, Trace Together support is only Mon-Fri, 9-6 pm. For an app that is CRITICAL TO MOBILITY in Singapore such limited customer support is extremely inadequate. This app and the system are failures.

Hi globallyftfan, sorry for the inconvenience caused. Could you share more details about your issue together with your phone details, firmware version, and screenshots of the error to support@tracetogether.gov.sg so that we can assist you further in troubleshooting?

Add Vaccination while Abroad?

I was vaccinated while out of Singapore, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to add that to my health profile. Would be nice to see a way to fix that in a future version.

Doesn’t work at all

This app works ONCE, and subsequent check in attempts give me only an error: “Unable to check in. There seems to be a network issue..” This happens despite having a clearly working data connection!

Temporary time-consuming solution: delete the app, re-boot my phone, re-install the app, set it up (again), and then it will work ONCE.

I tell you, Singapore, I will no take pleasure in blocking up the line of people trying to enter a place while I complete all these steps every single time I need to go anywhere!!

Forget about using the app itself to report errors. That function also doesn’t work! I get another error that falsely claims “Check your connection. Don’t worry, it’s just the internet…”

It wouldn’t be so bad if the tokens batteries also die so quickly (and randomly), leaving me stuck. Seriously you had a year to get this working. Now TT entry is mandatory and the app doesn’t work!!

Yes, I have checked already that I have all software updates and have granted all permissions.

Terrible useless app!

Online version

Is better than the app

Not working, no support

Still a very buggy app. My FIN details aren’t working. No support is available :(

I’ve tried re-installing it several times.

Apple watch app

an apple watch app where users are able to check in with their watch?

Vaccination status disappeared

My vaccination status has disappeared from my app but my husband’s status is still on his? How do I get it back on mine? Thanks.

Interrupts my Bluetooth connection

Every time it is switched on for checking in purposes, it disconnects my Bluetooth earphones. Had to shutdown the app after checking in and this is quite a pain.
