Ratings and reviews

This app worked perfectly for me to begin with. Upon getting an exposure alert, I was able to view the details and severity with a simple touch. However, within the last two weeks, I noticed when I received an alert, I am unable to see the details. I am shown when it occurred, but the drop down bar showing the Transmission Risk and total time exposed is no longer available. I've tried all I can think to fix the issue, but at this point, I can no longer rely on it for accurate exposure alerts.

This app worked perfectly fine on my old phone (OnePlus 7T). Installed it on my new phone (OnePlus 10T) and it doesn't work at all. When I open the app it takes me to a "Get Started" page. When I tap on Get Started it then takes me to a "How it works" page with 4 slides and... nothing else. I literally can't do anything after the 4 slides and I can't enable COVID alerts from the app in my phone's settings. The CA Notify app for California, on the other hand, works fine!

Annoying! It pops up way too often [for me] with "Checking for exposure"... [I spend most my time at home] and if I turn off my Bluetooth setting on my device - a notification pops up & won't stop notifying me that my Bluetooth is off.... until I turn the Bluetooth back on! I don't want/need my Bluetooth on ALL THE TIME!! Especially, when I'm at home!
