I don't think so. Admit I haven't looked at it for some days, but last few times I looked the Won't/Can't vote was creeping up whereas the Will (use all the time) vote was static.

Have people been changing their votes on this? From the day the idea was first mooted and not a single line of code was written, my vote has always been "No, No and No". I simply didn't trust the government to engage in feature-creep. "COVID" today, "evil bogey-men, think of the children and the government knows best" tomorrow .... The 5 & 20 year data retention statement has changed "No, No,No" to "You can stick your app where the sun doesn't shine". Scumbags. P.S. If someone contacts me as a result of a third-party having my details on their phone, I will simply invoke "no comment" as to whether or not I know them. So where will we be if everyone in the world adopts a similar attitude?

It seems to me that giving my personal data held by you with my consent to a third party without my consent is a serious breach of the DPA and GDPR. as such that will be my question, "who did you get my personal information from, you are holding it without my consent, failure to remove it upon request is an offence under the GDPR" apparently From a friend of a friend the contact tracers get increasingly aggressive if you don't do as they ask

BBC reporting "In a major U-turn, the UK is ditching the way its current coronavirus-tracing app works and shifting to a model based on technology provided by Apple and Google."

Article here about research carried out by School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College Dublin which suggests there are problems with Bluetooth on buses.

Unless the Government buys me a new phone I'm in the can't category, I did try too and can confirm my phone is too old.

I have changed my vote to some of the time.
It looks to be a safer row as I am isolated in there.
Plus I realised how often I go out without my phone.

One would expect that the APP would have loaded on most iPhones at the very least, but there are going to be thousands of people quite willing to load this APP and take part that cannot because you have to have IOS13 on your iPhone

All the people I know who have had covid have kept it quiet, got over it, and carried on. No one is willing to stitch up their friends and I suspect a large majority do the same. As a consequence there is no real record as to has it, had it and life goes on.

I think there are technical reasons why it cannot work on older phones.

You have to question the timing of the release, why now? Won't it heap further pressure on an already overwhelmed testing regime? It comes just a couple or three weeks after school reopening and as uni students prepare for freshers week. All I can see it doing is increasing demand from those tech savvy youngsters (yes, I am jealous that I'm not 20 something ), i.e. those least susceptible to succumbing to this disease. But then that all competes with yet further delays to the release date and the negative publicity that generates. Not sure it's been released at the right time but then perhaps the govt can't do right for doing wrong.

The whole track & trace system is broken under the management of public health supremo Baroness Dido Harding. The former CEO was eventually forced out of telecoms giant TalkTalk after a huge data breach highlighted poor customer security systems. I believe her husband Tory MP, John Penrose is a friend of Matt Hancock.
