Big suggestion: allow the app to turn off when in certain locations. If you don't want to allow location access, then perhaps turn off when using a certain WiFi network, or a certain set of WiFi networks (such as your home, your family's home, your friend's home). My only other suggestion is to find a way for backward red states to promote using it. I've never had any contact in this area with another Novid user except my own friend.

Works great without draining my battery. The developers are extremely friendly and transparent about how the app works and what information it uses (virtually no private info).

Concept is great. Battery usage seems minimal. I haven't gotten any alerts yet, so can't vouch for that, but we need more people to download and use to make this work!

It would be useful if you can add a self report for people who took the vaccine. Help spread the good news.

Needs to be easier to share. The app only works if other people have it, and adoption of the app doesn't seem to be that great. On my android device, clicking the share button gives me limited options for sharing the app. I can't even share it by text message or social media! The app needs a big share button at the top and potentially even a gamified way of recruiting more people into the app

Edit: If like me, you refuse to have persistent notifications in your Android bar, the developer has provided a workaround in the reply to this review, and indicated that doing so does not effect efficacy of the application. Rating updated. Original: Pros: The app itself is great, and a very useful tool in a pandemic. Cons: The user interface creates a persistent, unremovable notification which clutters the notification bar. As a notification zero user, this is absolutely unacceptable. I'll reinstall when the "running in the background" notification can be hidden.
