NYC COVID SAFE

City of New York

About this app

Many New York City employers, businesses, and venues are requiring verification of immunization or weekly proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test for their workforce and patrons.

Use this app to store and present the necessary documentation to verify that you have met these requirements.  You can also use the app as part of the “Key to NYC Pass” initiative to provide proof of vaccination.

The documentation you upload into this app is not shared with anyone and stays on your phone only.

Ratings and reviews

I ran into the same resize issue as others before I looked at the pictures in the app. On my Android phone in normal portrait view, the image has to be rotated so it is 90 degrees from portrait before it can be resized. Then it can be resized and will crop the image outside the marked viewing area. Unfortunately, the final image is reduced in size, but it can be tapped to enlarge if needed. All this confusion cost more time that it should have. Some explanation of the required angle would have saved a lot of time and frustration. Unfortunately, this is only available in the images displayed in the Google store BEFORE the app is downloaded. Moreover, there is no warning or statement about the required viewing angle for the image.

Solid simple app however there needs to be an option for adding boosters now that people are getting them. Some people are getting a second card instead of just having boosters added. Having the option to add a booster card seems like it could be useful (in my case I added it to the ID field because I'll use my ID in person anyway.

Scaling and rotating photo of my CDC card doesn't work. I try to scale the photo so it is all visible, but is always snaps back to a close up that doesn't show the whole photo. The whole point of this app is to make the photo easy to retrieve, but if it can't properly upload the photo the app is not very useful.
