Major Battery Drain

If you’re going to use ProtectTexasTogether, Do not give it permission to use your location if you want your phone to keep a charge. I could not figure out why my new iPhone pro 12 was suddenly getting absurdly bad battery life. It was dead by lunch with minimal use. I was getting ready to make a warranty claim when I decided to check battery usage in preferences. ProtectTexasTogether was sucking battery like crazy. It was listed as using 60% of my battery. I deleted it, and battery problems disappeared instantly.

I can’t use ProtectTexasTogether because it’s demanding me to update. I can’t update because I only have an iOS 12 so ProtectTexasTogether is basically closed off to me.

Fatal flaw ... won’t recognize my EID. Might be good, but who knows?!
I just downloaded ProtectTexasTogether and every time I try to login I get a stale request error.

ProtectTexasTogether is currently broken with a white screen of death after filling out a daily survey. There is no obvious way to report this to UT, so I hope this one star review helps them figure it out. iOS 13.6.1.
App does not work

You cannot get passed log-in, after that a white screen shows up and the application does nothing. The only option is to click back and return to log-in page, terrible.
Not useful or effective

1) ProtectTexasTogether does not support large text size on iPhones. When I don’t wear my glasses, it’s hard for me to read the normal font size on my phone, so I use the accessibility iPhone settings and make everything a larger font. This works fine in most apps, but it renders ProtectTexasTogether useless. The text gets bigger, but ProtectTexasTogether is not configured to support larger text, so important buttons like “yes” and “next page” get pushed off the screen. At a minimum, ProtectTexasTogether should revert all text to the normal size, so even if it’s small, ProtectTexasTogether is useable. However, to really improve ProtectTexasTogether , they should reconfigure the buttons and layout so everything stays on the screen. 2) I can’t add more than two classrooms, and I can’t figure out how to delete classrooms. This feature of ProtectTexasTogether is very important for co tract tracing, and it’s very hard to use right now. I’ve seen other reviews that say that their app crashed when they tried to add a third classroom, and mine doesn’t do that, but there isn’t anywhere to add/delete classrooms. Because I accidentally clicked two incorrect classrooms (oops), I cant actually check in to my real classroom when I go to my in-person class. 3) overall, ProtectTexasTogether just seems very basic and doing the absolute bare minimum (if that). It’s very hard to use, and have few resources or instructions.
ProtectTexasTogether is so slow and buggy it is so bad delete when done.
