What users are saying

1. And I see many versions for each state, no indication these even work together.Exposure notifications ARE turned on, but app doesn't work anymore!!!! It worked just fine until a couple of months ago.

2. For a short while now, I've had the one for Pennsylvania downloaded to my phone as well for other personal reasons.App states it will only work if the other person both reports having covid, have this app installed, and Bluetooth on during the time nearby.

3. What about people on the boarder, or whom travel? App is poorly designed, and wont work well (see other reviews....). App requires location, but provides no reason for it-- using bluetooth is all it should need.

4. The app doesn't work unless the other person has also downloaded the app and has it turned on.

5. Can y'all fix this? Seems useless if the exposure tracker doesn't actually work.Got a notification to install this app.

6. This causes the "COVID-19 Exposure Notifications" setting to be unable to stay in the "on" setting when you leave the device's Settings.

7. Other states' Android apps work fine.

8. I checked and notifications WERE ENABLED! What's going on? Can you please fix this?What's the purpose of the app if a person doesn't enter their positive results.

9. (Edit: it _finally_ (2022) does appear to actually register itself with Android as the "Exposure Notifications" app, so maybe it works now.

10. On 29 April 2022 I got a notification that exposure notifications were turned off for this app.

11. I hope it's fixed soon, I'd happily change my review.I'll feel a lot more safer having this telling me if I've come into contact with anyone that has listed themselves as being exposed to Covid-19 and its mutated versions.
