MORE USEFUL WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT IN 2020

I wish more people downloaded this App I also wished that this App was available in 2020 Although maybe it was and I was unaware It definitely would have been more useful

No way to dismiss notifications

I received an exposure notification and was tested (negative). However the app keeps notifying me about the same instance (5 days ago, 6 days ago, etc). I wish I could acknowledge and dismiss this instance so it stops scaring me.

Was once helpful but now not so much

App was a great tool to be able to track cases and up to date info during pandemic but now it doesn’t have any of that. In a time where delta variant is running rampant, please make it so we can see daily summary again!

Please add vaccination cards in Apple Wallet!

Please add a way for a COVID Wise/CDC vaccination card in Apple Wallet! Like in Los Angeles using the Healthvana app. It would be so great!

A Simple Lifesaver

This has really brought be peace of mind. Downloaded COVIDWISE a couple months ago and have been able to tell if I have ever been exposed while out and about. If everyone where using this app, life could be a lot more normal!

Great app but would add vaccine

It’s a great app. I would say that it would be extra useful if you add a tracking for self-reporting vaccine being administered.

Battery drain is excessive

The app drained 25% of my battery over 24 hours, according to iOS, even though I spent almost that entire period at home and did not go to any crowded places.

Add full date & go nationwide

If it displayed the date it wouldn’t be as easy to spoof with a screenshot. It would also be nice to have nationwide interoperability rather than just virginia-specific tracing. What’s a dc person supposed to do?

App not working

Hi my COVIDWISE app is not working! Is their anyway I can fix it and I can’t see my exposure checks at all please fix it

Boomers

Don’t listen to all the boomers that don’t know how to set up an app that takes less then a minute lol.

Impressed

Wow! Great job Virginia creating a contact-tracing app without asking for location or personal identifiers. Gives me a lot of faith in my state.

Help your community

This anonymous app will help others understand if they have been exposed to someone who has tested and allow them to not infect others. Let’s all help one another for once

COVIDIMPRESSED

Great job Virginia. I appreciate the no GPS tracking.

PLEASE DOWNLOAD!

Apple and Google already have your location through maps and all the other data they collect. So please at least give you data for a good cause.

I work in deep enterprise IT

And I value my privacy! Nothing I see in this app worries me at all. It’s a solid, discreet implementation. Battery drain claims are bogus, no more than leaving your Bluetooth connection on all the time (which most do) for cars, speakers etc.

Good - But hard to find. Destroys battery

Seriously 10-20% hit? Thought it used Bluetooth LE??? Please advertise this more aggressively. Most people are completely unaware that this app exists. Apple/Google should be promoting it as banner on App Store to help increase engagement.

Works perfectly.

I hope many VA residents download this app. It protects privacy and works perfectly.

great idea

please make this accessible nation wide, it’s not fair.

No feedback

Provides no feedback about the number of other users it’s detected, so there’s no real for the individual to know if it’s working

Tracing while protecting privacy

Wonderful addition to the arsenal. I’m a computer security and privacy proponent and this fits the bill. Hope we get the general population to join in.

Works fine but stop the weekly alerts!

Please stop alerting me every week to say no contacts reported COVID. If there’s nothing to alert me about then please stop interrupting me to tell me that.

thank you

Our species is dying. Together, we can beat this. Wear your masks. Stay six feet apart. Stop taking sides. Politics, skin color, gender? Bless u all

AMAZING

Let’s get other states to use this!

Essential for slowing the spread

trumpswetcoochie

tiktok sent me 😁 so uh i hope this all works

Good job!

I’m so happy that we’re taking more steps to try and fight COVID-19! Thank you for this app. 👍🏼

Apple Watch Compatiblity

I am unable to get it on my watch, working in a hospital it’s not feasible for me to walk around with the phone.

Worth downloading

Worth downloading just tryna spread awareness

Thanks

Thanks for spending the time and effort to paylessly make this and keep us safe :)

Drains too much battery on iPhone 7

It used 70 percent of my battery

State regulation

Does this work outside of the state of Virginia? I live in another state.

Can you get it on different states

Hi can you please get it across states to help save more people’s lives from the virus 😷 we all need this to stay safe and happy and we are all in this together #Covid-19

Very useful app that everyone in Virginia needs to download

If everyone got this app, we can finally get rid of COVID.

Can you add a feature to share the app?

To help the usefulness of the app, can you add a feature for users to share the app to social media to get more people using it?

Thankful

I’m thankful for an app like this and for a state with a governor who’s educated and does what’s best for our state. Great idea.

Hope I never have to see this app again!

Thanks for making this and taking advantage of this Apple/Google contact tracing tech. I hope I never have to use it. But I’m glad to know it’s there.

Happy to see privacy is protected

Glad it is Bluetooth and not GPS based. As a healthcare worker I hope we can get enough momentum behind apps like this to make contact tracing easier and better!

Simple, clear set up

It was quick to set up, and the methodology was made very clear. Good job, Virginia

Good job being the first one

Thank you to those who made this possible. Way to go!

Now to get user adoption!

The app is easy to install, the concept is easy to understand. Time will tell if people will use it to help fight COVID and if the app works as designed. I’m cautiously optimistic!

Let’s go Virginia!

I am so happy that we have this resource to FIGHT COVID and help keep each other and ourselves safe! Thank you for this great tool and hopefully everyone downloads it!

Burns battery

Causes battery to decline by 50% overnight.

No longer updating

Downloaded and was working great. Now it hasn’t checked or created a log since 1:11 am on 8/7. There’s no way to troubleshoot or get help. Please fix so it will work again. This is a much needed tool for everyone to help stay safe.

Needs better battery management

This app is great except for me it uses too much of the battery. Not sure if there is way to fix but want developers to know it’s an issue.

It won’t update my exposures

I keep receiving push notifications about exposures (usually only a few) but when I check the app it says I have none. It is really confusing! I’m high risk and would appreciate it if this app worked a bit better. I love the idea though!!
