M = It looks very easy and simple

I =  It has very advanced features like using GPS to see if people were close and if one of them has Covid, it then alerts the non infected person there is a risk of having Covid.
It also has a qr code system to check into venues who use that system. It will alert you if people with Covid check in at a similar time,

The new NHS COVID-19 app is the Official NHS contact tracing app for England and Wales.

It is the fastest way of knowing when you're at risk from Coronavirus. The quicker you know, the quicker you can alert your loved ones, and your community.

The more of us that use it, the better we can control coronavirus.

The app runs on proven software developed by Apple and Google, designed so that nobody will know who or where you are. And you can delete your data, or the app, at any time.

It has a number of features:

- Trace: Find out when you've been near other app users who have tested positive for coronavirus
- Alert: Lets you know the level of coronavirus risk in your postcode district.
- Check-in: Get alerted if you have visited a venue where you may have come into contact with coronavirus, using a simple QR code scanner. No more form filling.
- Symptoms: Check if you have coronavirus symptoms and see if you need to order a test.
- Test: Helps you order a test if you need to.
- Isolate: Keep track of your self-isolation countdown and access relevant advice.

Available in English, Welsh, Bengali, Urdu, Gujarati, Punjabi (Gurmukhi script), Chinese (Simplified), Romanian, Turkish and Arabic (Modern Standard). Additional languages and refinements will follow.

The app has been built in collaboration with some of the most innovative organisations in the world. We have worked with medical experts, privacy groups, at-risk communities and we've shared knowledge with the teams working on similar apps in many countries.

Protect your loved ones. Please download the app.

Version 3.6.1

Useful in the fight against coronavirus

The app has been designed to ask for only the 1st half of your postcode it does not ask for any private information including contact details, name and address etc. You leave the app running in the background and you barely even realise it's there most the time while you continue to go about your daily life, as the app uses google and Apple technology to generate an anonymous ID every 15 minutes which only gathers data on who you have been in close contact with using Bluetooth technology contact tracing can easily be toggled off within the app and back on, and it is easy if you wish to do so to delete your data. Checking into venues is really easy and you can go about your day knowing that your not being tracked as this app does not have gps or location services and only uses your first half of your postcode to give you information about the risk level of your area. The app allows you to check/report your symptoms within the app and enter test results.

NHS TRACK AND TRACE, my first impressions.

To be honest, after all the drama that's gone on throughout this pandemic, this is what we needed, we need a clear understanding of where there are infected people, if they have followed the government advice, don't get me wrong I'm not entirely fond of Boris or his advice as we all know it hasn't been too clear, but the advice I have been following to a T is the advice from our very own NHS!
Its a simple app, you check in at whatever venue you're at, it shows you the threat level in the area you're at as it scans the area for any signs of an infected person, although again it doesn't necessarily mean you're in the clear as not everyone will be too comfortable with this app.
But you can TURN OFF the scanning option, you can set a reminder if you wish to have it scanning again at a later date or the option DONT REMIND ME is also there for those that don't care much for it.

All in all a pretty basic app, does it's job, I've given Three stars simply because it does tend to drain your battery when you have the app scanning in the background, other than that I can't see why the general public don't want to use/download the app, Boris isn't trying to control everyone, after his handling of the lockdown do we really believe he can control us with an app? Definitely not, he's a fool, keep safe, keep your distance and we'll hopefully see each other on the other side of this, peace x

Hello, Thank you for your valuable feed back we are glad to hear you are finding the app useful and we really appreciate your participation. The app uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and will have minimal impact on your mobile phone battery, especially if you normally have Bluetooth enabled.

If your phone battery is draining much faster than usual, you can check how much battery the app is using compared to other apps. You can usually find this on your phone by following these instructions (the steps may be slightly different, depending on your phone):

Apple iOS: Settings -> Battery

Android: Settings -> Device Care -> Battery

If your phone shows that more than 5% of your battery life is being used by the app, please report a technical problem . To find out why this is happening and to try to help you, please include the following information:

Percentage of battery used.

The make and model of your phone (for example, iPhone 8 or Samsung Galaxy S8).

The operating system (for example, iOS 13.5 or Android Marshmallow v6.0).

. You can find out more information about the app here: https://covid19.nhs.uk/

Seems decent enough

Tried it as it seems to be pretty simple and intuitive enough to use. Popped in my postcode and it tells me the risk of COVID in my area. I go to places and "check in" by scanning the barcodes, and the app seems to behave well enough.
The information in the app is actually useful - there's a lot of nonsense about COVID spreading online and through WhatsApp, so it's nice to have a very clear and definitive place where I can get that information in an easy to read, centralised place.
Others have said it would be nice to track where you are going and update COVID based on that - I think that was omitted to prevent people thinking the app is spying on them, which in that case, good on the developers for being conscious enough to see how it could be perceived by the public and taking action towards reducing that risk of not being able to download. I think a good compromise is a heat map of the UK where people can see where COVID is at high risk without GPS access to keep the data private.
All in all, a good effort on the app. Being an app developer myself, I know how hard it is to get decent feedback so I hope this helps the people behind the app improve but encourage them with the app.
