What is Protect Texas Together?
The app is designed for the University of Texas at Austin students, faculty, and staff to help them stay informed and safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. It offers various features such as symptom survey and history, campus access pass, COVID-19 test reporting and history, room check-in and history, anonymous statistics, and local COVID-19 information. The app is available in both English and Spanish.
1. Symptom Survey and Symptom History: Users can log any symptoms they are feeling to help decide if they should come to campus or work remotely.
2. Campus Access Pass: Users can verify that they do not have COVID-19 symptoms before going to campus.
3. COVID-19 Test Reporting and History: Users can link their COVID-19 test IDs to their EID using a QR code reader or enter the test ID manually.
4. Room Check-In and History: Users can easily record the rooms they have been in over a two-week period to help with contact tracing.
5. Anonymous Statistics: Users can volunteer to send anonymous statistics that will be shared in aggregate form with the community and the University to support decision making on how to best protect the campus from a COVID-19 outbreak.
6. Local COVID-19 Information: Users can access the latest information, statistics, and resources on COVID-19 to stay up to date.
7. Multilingual support: The app is accessible in both English and Spanish.

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.

ProtectTexasTogether is so slow and buggy it is so bad delete when done.

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.

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.

Great app, it supports Spanish! Helps support the university symptom tracking requirements without the stalker aspects of apps used at other universities.

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.

When I try to sign in, I am returned to the initial screen and receive the message “There was an error processing your request”.

Pathetic way for the school to save face when putting students at risk

UTEID login comes up with “stale request” so I am unable to log in at all.

You are already required to sign up for PCT through UHS. There is no reason for ProtectTexasTogether to exist.

Fatal flaw ... won’t recognize my EID. Might be good, but who knows?!
