Description

SafePass is the official COVID-19 contact tracing app for Los Angeles and San Joaquin counties. It was developed in partnership with Citizen, an essential public safety app in the US, and San Joaquin County Health Care Services to help people know if they’ve been exposed to COVID-19. With SafePass, you, your friends, and your family can be alerted if SafePass determines you may have been exposed to COVID and share health updates so you can make an informed decision on how to better protect yourself from COVID-19, in accordance with local health office orders and protocols. Use Pods to organize essential gatherings with shared prerequisites like COVID testing, symptom tracking, and Bluetooth contact tracing. • Create Pods with the people who matter most. You can check in on each other’s COVID-19 testing and health status so you can make an informed decision on how to protect your friends and family from COVID-19. • Have peace of mind around coworkers if you’re already back at your workplace or trying to figure out a strategy for returning to the office. • As schools and universities reopen, help classes or study groups meet in person more safely. • Responsibly organize playdates with other families. • Enable Bluetooth contact tracing to get notified if you were near a SafePass user also using Bluetooth contact tracing who tests positive for COVID-19. We keep your information safe. • All contact tracing data is encrypted, and deleted after 30 days. • No one profits from your contact tracing data. • Only people in the Pods you're a part of will be able to see information about you. • You can disable contact tracing at any time.

  • Great app - except the nagging/

    By ZeboStoneleigh
    I love the app and what it does… But I really really really wish it would just stop asking me to create and join pods! Whereas my family lives 100s of miles away (I haven’t visited them in a year), and my friends and I gather on Zoom (though rarely). This reminder just exacerbates the solitude - and makes the app an additional annoyance in my life. How many times do I have to say no? No means no.

    i’ve had this app for a while now and it used to work well. recently, the “contact tracing center” hasn't updated at all and has been stuck in dec 12 even though i’ve kept the app and the open all day. i really wish that it would update constantly like it did before. also i would suggest having the app open up on the “safepass” screen instead of the “pods” screen as it gets quite annoying having to switch it every time i go on to check if there were any bluetooth connections. i got this app cause it was much easier to read, in comparison to the contact tracing on ios (i enabled that too) but this app hasn’t been updating, which is kinda frustrating :/

    We just started.... working the kinks out

  • Not updating

    This claims I have not come in contact with a single user who has also had this app enabled in the past 3 months... I feel like it’s just not updating? A month or so ago it was saying it hadn’t been updated since the previous month, now it’s saying “ Last updated 12/31/69, 07:00 PM” unclear if that’s supposed to be 1969 or 2069... but either way not useful

  • Started out useful now just spyware

    This app started out as useful and I can understand that they want to try and sell services to pay for it all but really this app is only now either a scam up to get your personal info or a constant nag to try and get you to sign up for a subscription that really doesn’t give much use or value. Guys stop being so greedy if you’re really that well intentioned you’re providing a service that has the potential to be important I ask once and then leave me alone to decide if I wanna subscribe or not

  • Planned on signing up, now will wait

    I had planned on signing up for this because I think it’s a fantastic idea. However, I have concerns about the privacy issues brought up by others, especially since it appears to be a buggy program to begin with, per their comments. Given that many sites and apps can be hacked, I have concerns about holding up identification, test results, held next to my face, if only from a security point of view. That is simply too much HIPAA information,Especially if people in your pod (even though I don’t plan on having any gatherings at my home, but other people do) would also be able to see that information. I work at a hospital in the Technical Services area and I am aware of other security breaches that have occurred at various facilities. Additionally, I think that those who are concerned about government intrusion but may still have been willing to sign up for this, will instead have a field day on a Twitter with putting down this app, based on the requested means of identification. I think something like entering a drivers license number or other identification, like a passport number should be sufficient information to provide on the app. This is a great idea, just not implemented in such a way that would result in more people signing up for it.

  • "It looks like you no longer want to do checkins"

    This isn't true. My issue is that the app doesn't like to respond to input. I got frustrated and stopped using the app since it always seemed unresponsive.

  • DANGEROUS - DO NOT USE

    Dangerous and irresponsible are words that come to mind with this app. The app doesn’t implement the joint google/apple exposure notification api but instead opts to create its own competing network of contact tracing when the focus should be to get as many people on the more mature, more widely used, and more robust solution already out. This app relies on you and everyone you know keeping the app open so that it can transmit over Bluetooth for the core functionality which seems prone to user and technical error. As a result many people (over a million apparently) will download this app in the false belief that it will help them, and give people a false sense of security. If you want a good contact tracing solution please go into the Settings app on your iPhone, scroll down to Exposure Notifications, and click from there to find an app in your area that implements the joint Apple/Google api. You could maybe use this app in addition to that but not in lieu of and the fact that the developers don’t enforce that in the app is dangerous and irresponsible.

  • Please change landing screen

    3
    By Karysma7
    I really want to give this more stars, but the landing screen right now is set to “pods” -and really, when you open the app it should go right to the button to check-in. Having it open up to “pods” is unhelpful, and possibly irresponsible, especially right now when people should not be gathering. I hope they realize this and make the first screen that opens, the one for checking in. It’s bad enough that I have to ‘wake up’ the app every day, it should at least be very easy to do. That said, digital contact tracing is an excellent idea, has been used very effectively in other countries, and should widely promoted. I don’t think people even know it’s available. If appropriate changes are made to this app I will happily give it five stars.

  • Frustrating to use.

    Does not allow me to enter my test results every time I hit submit nothing happens. It also does not accurately register how many days in a row do you have entered your health information. To my mind this is useless to enter any information as it will say you’ve entered the information for three days when you enter the information every day for three weeks
