Once an app stops being supported, users are no longer able to open it.
THE COVID TRACKER app is expected to be decommissioned this summer when EU regulations no longer require countries to issue vaccine certificates.
The app received over one million downloads within the first 36 hours of its launch on 7 July 2020, which amounted to over a quarter of all smartphone users in the country. In reaction to the cost of the app being relased, the Aontú leader called on funding for it to be suspended ahead of its potential summer wind-down.
“The Covid tracker app is another classic example – while the government will maintain that a large number of people downloaded it within the initial days after it was launched, I know of many who swiftly deleted it due to the space it was taking up on their devices.” A report by the Comptroller and Auditor General released this week found that the HSE has purchased ten times more ventilators than were necessary and was “seriously misleading” the Department of Health and Department of Public Expenditure in relation to its spending during the pandemic.
