I've just joined up and it was very quick and simple to use. I can understand people having reservations though.

I have downloaded this earlier after it was posted by a nurse friend. I have all the symptoms but as I’m ‘ok’ I haven’t reported it to anyone other than work. I feel like they need some of this information officially.

I think I they're using the app platform as it already exists.

I gave my name, email, year of birth, height and weight, postcode. It also asks you if you have particular health, issues, or take particular medications. Then each day I report any symptoms, or the lack of them. It's for large scale, short notice data modelling.
