I've done it for me and the Mrs. Looks decent and easy to use.

I can't understand why anyone wouldn't use it.
 
Just installed the app on my iPhone, seems quite straightforward.

Does it work ?, What's it's purpose ?

Suppose you were in a taxi for 15 mins and the driver developed covid

You will have to self isolate for two weeks

I'm not sure its going to work

If you were in a taxi for 15 minutes with a driver that then goes on to test positive, it's a pretty good chance of you being infected.

Does what it says on the tin really

When the NHS released the app, it stated that at least 9 million downloads were needed for the app to be successful.

After just four days over 10 million downloads have been hit, and rising sharply.

Get on board troops 🙏

I won't be downloading it, that's for sure.

This probably sounds more challenging than it is meant to be but why?

I don't trust it too be honest Phil, can see me getting a notification to stay in and self isolate for 2 weeks for no reason, and I can't afford to do that, I don't go near anybody apart from my immediate family, and I don't take chances, so I can't see it being any use for me anyway, but like I say the main point is I can't self isolate, as I'm looking after a couple of people.

Might not be any use to you, and your looking after a couple of people...

Exactly the reason you should download it.

Can you not see this?

You are right, as I typed that to Phil, I suddenly realized it's a bit more to it, and I have to protect them as well, I'll download it later once my phone has finished charging.

What's the one i'm looking for on the apple app store, I think in the past when I have taken a look, there seem to be many?
