users reported accidentally downloading the trial version that had been made available in Newham, east London, and the Isle of Wight. That then led to a rash of one-star reviews on the Google Play Store, giving the app an average rating of just 1.5 stars.“Not only are we getting the pandemic under control, with deaths down and hospital admissions way, way down, but we will continue to tackle it, with local lockdowns and with our superlative test-and-trace system.

iPhone 6 was made in 2014 not 2018 and Apple are still providing updates. Anyone peer review this piece?

So how many had problems downloading? Have Guardian made a story based on tiny percentage of problems. Worked fine for me

Like many on low income I can't afford a new smart phone. Wouldn't it have been possible to make it work on older phones too?

Sounds like a familiar story.

Nah...really?

It’s software is for iPhones too new snd with big memory space ! It’s collecting unnecessary information

I am shocked. Beyond shocked, actually. I really thought that they will pull it off this time. Poor Boris worked so hard for this. (Said nobody ever)

nice
