Ratings and reviews

Highly recommended, has informative features, but it often becomes unresponsive. This wouldn't be helpful during an emergency, of course. I hope they will fix this, because it's really a wonderful app. Update 8/27/20. Just downloaded this app again to see if any improvements have been made, but no such luck. The app is hard to close, and, to my shock, ZERO information about COVID-19 in the "Emerging Infectious Diseases" section. Unbelievable.

this app is just this side of useless. it constantly glitches and it takes forever to load different pages. there is also no back button. this is a classic example of how a government works. a commitee of computer illiterate idiots award a project to the lowest bidder because " they are all the same." this app actually may do the opposite of its protocol and kill someone.

This is the 2nd time I've installed and deleted this app. I cannot turn off the alert which says the location has been updated without turning off all of the alerts.

What's new

In this release, we’ve improved the app’s accessibility by offering a high-contrast theme option, access code was moved to the app settings, and news articles without images no longer show a placeholder image for a more compact view.
