Maybe someone should start a poll.
For myself, absolutely I will.
But I completely understand the concerns of people who don't like Big Brother watching them and doubt if they will reach their percentage target, whatever that is. [Post edited 5 May 2020 4:10]

I will. I'm not entirely comfortable with it but I honestly don't think any organisation would get access to data they don't already have. It is genuinely for the greater good and is a way out of the lock down, I'd rather the app be compulsory than cctv and card transactions used as in South Korea.
Worst case scenario is somebody finds out I call for a pint when taking the dog for a walk. That seems like a long time ago now 😕 [Post edited 5 May 2020 6:57]

The app needs to be universal. No sense in the UK (wouldn't surprise me if Drakeford went with Europe on this) having a different app to the rest of Europe and possibly the world, it would have unbelievable implications for travel when this is permitted. Closer to home what about the UK/Irish border with different apps. |  | | |

Its being proof tested in the isle of Wight initially, it will be available soon after the trials there. There are other apps apparently, but this one is the Government backed one, as i understand it. |  | | |

I read it uses Bluetooth.
Bluetooth munches my battery life.
I won’t be using it for that reason.
Looks like a major design flaw to me.
Maybe I’m the only one who has to be very sparing with Bluetooth use? |  |

Is Cummings’s sidekick and his brother behind all this with their AI firm or are they just mining and exploiting your personal data? |  |

And for that reason only, i am undecided.
Yes of course i want to download and use the app.
Its the right thing to do.
Why or why isn’t the app made by a major software company like Apple, Microsoft, Google - or even all of them. Make them work together so we get a choice.
No - we get the brother of Dom Cummings mate.
That said, i know nothing about him, just seems a bit suspect ?
On balance i will get, but i do have concerns. |  |

Why? I am genuinely interested. I can see absolutely no reason why anyone wouldn't apart from not liking a company who are involved in it to some degree.
I'm not an expert in anything IT related so I am just wondering if there is something I need to worry about. I was completely in favour of this app, in fact I was saying to the Mrs lunchtime that perhaps it should be compulsory for those who want to participate in the initial relase of lock down. But I'm now thinking I may be missing something? | | | |

Thanks for the tip, but my wife has used up all the grease proof paper, so I can't do any tracing. 😂 | |

My understanding is that there is very little personal data held. They will only need to know who you are if the app shows that you have been in near contact with someone who uses the app has shown symptoms. They need this so that you can be tested. The app will then notify all persons who have been in near contact with a symptomatic person through their phones.
Sounds reasonable if you believe what Matt Hancock has said. |  |

Personally I don't trust Apple, Google or Microsoft that much but I'll still be downloading the app.
The only thing that really concerns me is that the app does exactly what it's supposed to do and it works properly without causing any software conflicts on my phone.
Of course if it turns out the mate of the brother wasn't up to the job and only got it through 'contacts' then thats an entirely different matter, certainly enough for Cummings to be sacked and possibly for Bojo to resign too, this is too big for mates rates! | |

As it is now and with what’s known about it, no.
Would I download ‘any’ app for this purpose? Yes, absolutely. Just not this one. | | | |

The google / apple international app is the one we should be using. Not this separate one.
Plus, according to tech experts, it won’t work as iPhones can’t do what it says they’ll do. So the whole thing may well be a pile of crap. | | | |

No point now.
The PM says the crisis is virtually over and we've successfully avoided the devastation and deaths suffered by other countries. It's all down to how well its been managed.
The PM couldn't possibly lie to the country about any of that? |  |

It’ll be interesting to see how they manage to send you the test you order from the app with just the first part of your post code... | | | |

I just don't trust these opportunists. In the slightest.
Once they've built their surveillance infrastructure it's not going away. I've also been more concerned about the stripping of rights in the Coronavirus Bill, as, again once they're gone they rarely get given back. Though I guess that's a conversation for a different thread. | |

It's an app. When we're done with all this, or whenever you feel like, delete the app from your phone. | | | |
