I think I am right in saying that good number of vsc posters have said in the past that they won’t register with this type of thing because they don’t trust the government with their data.

It would be fairer to say that people may have said there is a concern in society in general about giving up personal data without confidence that it would be safe - rather than individual posters’ views. Of course there may be some posters who are individually concerned, but I think it’s a wider issue in society than one small messageboard community..

The majority of the population do not trust the PM.

Downloaded the new app this morning. My only grumble with it is being Bluetooth based (kills my phone battery typically) but super easy to get, install and setup.

Should communicate with others as you pass them.
Done.

I'll check.Under the proposals for re-opening of stadiums all clubs had/have to record details of those attending. This is probably a better substitute for that.
Is a QR code safe and confidential?
I've downloaded the app.Not the most auspicious start for new tech.Very first thing it asks you to do is to enter the first letter(s) and numbers of your postcode. Like DN12. I do this and it tells me I've entered an incorrect postcode. Except I haven't. I'm looking at it and it's the right one. So I hit "Enter" again and it tells me it's an incorrect postcode.After 5 goes I realise I've inadvertently put a space after the number. I delete the space and all is good.Minor issue but it doesn't bode well for the quality of the app design. If it's not going to accept a space character, why allow you to enter a space character?
I’ve downloaded it, all well and good on my iphone8, but will not download to my wifes and Sons iphone6, not very good really, surely the developers could have made it backward compatible

If it's not going to accept a space character, why allow you to enter a space character?BST, you can’t seriously blame the APP for your input error.Anyone should know that you don’t leave a space between the DN and the 12.If I went to post say, a Hermes parcel, and did the same thing then their system wouldn’t accept the postcode.Is it any different to missing a letter or a dot out of an email address or putting a space between part of the address.Come on, you can’t always be right.

Same with Android in that you need at least Android 6, which using Samsung as an example is anything over Galaxy 5 or older, can use it. It's not much really the app developers could do and Google/Apple didn't know this was gonna happen.
Quote from: drfchound on September 24, 2020, 10:18:45 amIs a QR code safe and confidential?The app only asks for the first part of your postcode, no other information, I should imagine once you have scanned the QR code and an issue arises within an establishment a push notification is sent to your phone
