The worst thing about Covidsafe is that when you turn it off it quickly turns itself on again. So if you do have battery issues you don't have the option of just turning it on when you need it, which is hardly ever when staying at home without visitors. The only way to turn it off is to uninstall it, which is what I did after two days of the inconvenience of needing to leave my phone charging all night (not good for the battery) & additionally recharging during the day. As a programmer myself, it seems extremely bad form to write software that won't stay off when the user chooses to turn it off. It will also be an inconvenience to reinstall each time I do need to go out, but at least that will only be an occasional inconvenience.

Biased show. Ray Johnson is a regular guest. She is paranoid about privacy. She is probably a technophobe in secret. Very unbalanced show. I wish they had more impartial journalists. Mark keeps inviting fear mongering journalists that are opinionated, biased and ill informed. Please invite better guests.
