Description

COVIDSafe app has been developed by the Australian Government Department of Health to help keep the community safe from coronavirus (COVID-19). Together, let’s help stop the spread and keep ourselves and each other healthy.

COVIDSafe uses the Bluetooth® technology on your mobile phone to look for other devices with COVIDSafe installed. Your device will take a note of contact you’ve had with other users by securely logging the other user’s reference code. If you or someone you’ve been in contact with is diagnosed with COVID-19, the close contact information securely stored in your phone can be uploaded and used—with your consent—by state and territory health officials to quickly inform people who’ve been exposed to the virus.

How you can help stop the spread of COVID-19:
• Download the COVIDSafe app
• Register using your mobile phone number, name, age range and postcode
• Turn on Bluetooth®
• Check that COVIDSafe is running when you are out and about or are likely to come into contact with others
• If you test positive for COVID-19, you can consent for your close contact information to be used by state and territory health officials to contact people who may have been exposed. If you’ve been exposed to the virus by someone you’ve been in close contact with, state and territory health officials will be able to contact you quickly so you can get the support you need

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

5 ★I'll give this app 5 star just based on the entertainment value it provides with the "1 Star" reviews. Suddenly, life doesn't seem so bad anymore. The money spent on this apps is the single most impactful endowment for the arts the modern world has seen. Bravo and God Bless!
5 ★Never had an issue with this app, it's been on 24/7 since it's inception, use it, every bit helps in our fight against the Covid virus.
2 ★Samsung S9+ whenever I get to near someone who also installed this app, my app crashes, it is draining battery like crazy. It can used up my whole phone battery in 6 hours.
1 ★Interferes with my Bose Bluetooth headphones by dropping the connection to them. Very annoying. The developers have "optimised the connections" but the disconnections continue. 1 star for you until fixed!
1 ★I thought idea of this app is to keep us safe and be able to keep us safe. Either app is giant waste of money or we need new Victorian state government as to date I cannot see anything off benefit in having this app at all. Does not help with tracing. Does not help small businesses in keeping open so giant waste off tax payers money and time
4 ★Even though I check out, next checkin same day brings up previous venue. Happens a lot Annoying. My husband then has to check me in with him.
1 ★I had no issues with this app in the beginning. Unfortunately it has been CHEWING more and more battery power with each update. I put up with it for a while because I thought I was "Doing the Right Thing", but with so few app users now I don't see any benefit to me in continuing its use for contact tracing purposes. I guess it's all QR codes, face masks and good hand hygiene these days. Oh well, I tried.
1 ★If this app was more comprehensive we would not have to scan qr codes. But also bc this app has to have bluetooth on to work it drains alot of battery....
3 ★Should have a log out option from this APP immediately after logging into new premises. Not request codes etc. What is that about. It makes me angry everytime I log into venues. I am there to socialise not play on my phone. What the hell is "real-time following".
3 ★The Covid App uses from 17% and often 20% of battery capacity. If I use internet and calls during the day, then my battery life fails - I need to recharge the phone in the afternoon to maintain any call capacity. Battery life is a major problem with the Covid App. I will turn the Covid App off from today - I will rely upon the QR Code scans to track potential exposures from today.
3 ★Not sure how well it works, yet it alone consumes more than 10% of my 4500 mAh battery overnight... Always the top-1 on the battery usage list.
3 ★Uses lots of battery. Has not seemed to be effective with contact tracing. June 21 app has improved for contact tracing.
