User unfriendly
Very user unfriendly for visitors using a foreign number who are trying to do the right thing and set the tracer app up. I’ve tried dozens of times to set it up with a NZ phone number and the verification code never arrives. I’m a kiwi regularly visiting WA.

Deficient system capabilities
The WASafe app does not accept international phone numbers. Surely for the safety of all this is a simple software fix that should have been considered from the outset.

Does not support international number
Update up for international number or to allow to register via email.
