I had this set up the day it was available in my area. Never got an alert. I find it difficult to believe I wasn’t “exposed” during the pandemic, so I assume this didn’t really provide much value.
I guess it depended on how many others did it. I’ve gotten a few of them here in the Netherlands, though in my case they never provided info that I didn’t already have. Nevertheless I did see the value of it, in some cases it could be very useful
I’m originally from Brazil but I’ve been living in Poland for the past decade so I had the Polish app setup with Android covid notifications. The neat thing is that it doesn’t matter as they all talk together due to how the protocol works.
I got a few notifications in Poland, and I also did travel to Brazil, and got notifications there too.
The app only works if enough people are in though, so if nobody uses then it won’t work. Depends on the area, people, way of thinking.
I had quite a few notifications from it in the UK during the height of the pandemic, though that might be more of an indication of how much our government fucked it up

In Canada my girlfriend was exposed. She called the testing places to tell them, and to book a test. They told her no, and to go away.
When I realized the already small percentage of people that are trying to use this system were being denied, I disabled it. It’s actually useless.

Yeah I was in NYC, rode the subways a lot, and never got a notification…
The gov version worked fine here in Australia, but not whatever that is, far as I know.
Not sure where you’re located, but I had a couple notifications reach while in Germany. Also on iOS, if that matters…
I was fine with masks and vaccinations but this kinda felt like being tracked so I didn’t go for this one
You’re most likely being tracked. But not by this. The various bluetooth covid tracking systems were surprisingly good in terms of privacy.
In that case there should have been more focus on this in the psa’s
I got one to hit me 14 days after I was exposed. I had to self isolate for a full ten minutes.
I went to somewhat busy places later in the pandemic after the first vaccines were out. Nothing.
Nothing from the Colorado exposure app either. (It was probably tied to Google anyway.)
I’ve never gotten an alert and I know I’ve had “exposures” in the past from work emails. Guess it’s time to uninstall…
