Anyone think the app is a load of rubbish?

So been pinged today to isolate for 5 days, so I'm guessing that would mean I had contact on Saturday. However on Saturday met with two friends neither of which have had a test let alone a positive result, we were outside in a park (green area not play area) not near anyone and I didn't go into any cafes or shops.
I had been outside at a cafe on Friday but all tables were very spaced out (more than 2m), and surely this would have given me 4 days to isolate. So I really don't see how I would have been 2m or less from someone for 15 minutes!
I just deleted and reinstalled the app out of curiosity and the isolation notice has gone! I test twice a week, no symptoms, still socially distancing and wearing a mask etc.

If I'm honest I think the app is a load of shit, I reckon they're pinging a load of people now that restrictions have gone to control the population from a mass exodus out and about.

Anyone else agree?

day of contact is day zero, it was friday. It does tell you the day of contact under settings but you can't check now you have deleted it.

if they didn’t want an exodus they would have kept restrictions.

it pings a lot because there’s a lot of covid going around

@brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr but even when there have been spikes in my area no one I know has been pinged, even those in public facing jobs.
@kimlo thanks, so would be the cafe! Thinking it's picked it up from my phone being in the pram behind me which would have then been nearer the other table than I was

very possible or it's been a memeber of staff walking past repetedly. The 15 minuites don't have to be all together they can be smaller periods of time that add up to 15 minuites.

If I was you I would probably get a pcr as a close contact then be careful if it's negative.
