UK COVID-19 Venue Check-in

Third-party app to check in to venues by scanning an NHS Test and Trace QR code

Third-party app that allows users to check in to venues in the UK by scanning an NHS Test and Trace QR code if they don't want to or are unable to use the official NHS app. As with the official app, the user's check-in history is stored only on their device and is not shared with the NHS or anyone else. The app periodically downloads a list of venues with possible COVID-19 exposure and will alert the user if they have checked in to a venue that appears on this list during the relevant time period. History is automatically deleted after 21 days, and users can view and manually delete their history if desired.
