NZCOVIDTracer is mostly useless for New Zealanders overseas as our citizenship no longer allows us entry into the county.

New Zealand has recently entered Level 4, and wants to keep close tabs on people to avoid COVID transmission. Yes, that is commendable. Unfortunately, not everyone owns a smartphone. I use an iPad for all my digital needs, and since it isn’t a model with telephony ability, this NZ COVID App Tracer doesn’t work because the Bluetooth needs constant internet/mobile data informational exchange, and the iPad just doesn’t do that. So unfortunately, NZCOVIDTracer is useless on the iPad.

Currently when you use a QR code scanner (like ios native one) it only launches/opens NZCOVIDTracer . It doesn’t add the venues entry to your diary as it really should do to be a seamless experience.
So you still have to then stand there, navigate a few taps refocus and rescan the code. Really sub optimal.
If you really want people to scan then fix this behaviour/process so it’s a one stop one scan process.

I used NZCOVIDTracer on my old iphone and it worked fine... Then, a couple of weeks ago I upgraded to a new iphone. After using NZCOVIDTracer on the new iphone for several weeks I decided (yesterday)to have a look at “view my diary”. It was EMPTY!
After much fiddling, logging out, and back in, restarting the iphone etc. I finally got NZCOVIDTracer to record QR code’s. (As follows)
I completely uninstalled NZCOVIDTracer from my phone (there is a warning on the MOH website about how you’re going to
“Loose your data” — but NZCOVIDTracer had NO HISTORY for me anyway...). Restarted the iPhone, reinstalled NZCOVIDTracer , and now it works...
My suspicion is that something went haywire in the upgrade from the old iPhone to the new iphone...
Wash your hands folks!

I have gone into retail places such as the Warehouse , Elliott Stables, a United bookstore and it has the right logo, but I get the”invalid QR...”. I have yet to be able to use the tracker. 3 stars for the idea. But...

I can’t open NZCOVIDTracer on iOS 14.5. Crashes instantly. Tried reinstalling and restarting phone.

Can’t believe it took this long. But it’s finally here. Well done.

App itself is 5 stars. Shame there isn’t a national standard QR code. I’ve only been able to use NZCOVIDTracer once out of about six places visited showing codes. Not really interested in having to use multiple apps and it seems the MoH one should be the standard...
