This app is for use in Miami-Dade County. CombatCOVID is the Official COVID-19 notification and information app of the County Government of Miami-Dade County, Florida, a diverse community of over a million and a half people. Unlike other apps, CombatCOVID has never used GPS or location notification in its architecture. The app user’s privacy and identity are protected. No names, emails addresses, locations or personally identifying information is required. There is never any location or identity information acquired by CombatCOVID. The CombatCOVID app uses Bluetooth signals to determine if you are near another user. All users who have been in close proximity to a COVID-19 positive person will be notified by a push notification recommending they get tested immediately, without revealing anyone’s personal identity. Suggested locations for testing are also provided. Your device’s phone number is encrypted and never shared with anyone, including local health officials. All data and Information about the device being in close proximity with another device is ONLY stored on the device. Access to the data indicating the device’s user may have tested positive is only shared IF/WHEN the user chooses to share it. IF the user does choose to share a COVID-19 positive result, they are still totally PRIVACY PROTECTED.
Doesn’t work
“An error occurred while uploading data”. This is a message I constantly get. App does not work, but good concept
United StatesNeeds better marketing
Just downloaded after hearing about it on NPR radio. I was hoping the State of Florida would make use of Apple’s COVID product, but they have not. Hope this app will be downloaded by more people in Miami-Dade. It should be mentioned at event local news broadcast.
United StatesWhy Require Phone Number?
If the app is supposed to be completely anonymous why do you require the phone number and to verify it? Doesn’t sound anonymous to me.
United StatesNo option to run in background
Since I’ve updated to ios 14.1, there is no option to run in the background. I do not have the Tap for battery saver bar displayed.
United StatesThis app is a joke
Why would they pay millions for an app that you have to have open at all times? Apple an Android have offered this and it runs in background at all times and never stops. They don’t even have to make an app for it, they just need to get Florida health department to request that it be activated and setup a verification system for people who want to report that they are positive.
United StatesUseless
Why only this Miami COVid app requires the user to keep the app on? All other apps work in background Who wrote the app? Goofy ? 😂
United StatesUseless App
This app is absolutely useless unless it uses the Apple Google API. It will not run in the background and you have to activate it. The point of the Apple Google API is to make it a seamless experience in your phone. This was not well thought out and completely useless.
