Release Date

July 17 2020

What’s new?

We are preparing an update to the GPS mobile app. This release technically still falls within the realm of the original "MVP1" feature set, as it includes:

  • Major improvements to location-tracking accuracy on iOS

  • A much improved exposure-notification flow

  • Spanish as a supported language (joining English and Haitian Kreyol), in preparation for an upcoming launch with a new jurisdiction!

  • Now requires SSL for all data transmission

  • Improved network performance and data using via caching

  • New functionality that enables partner jurisdictions to test end-to-end in production environment with high transparency into how well the system is working

  • Many, many bug fixes

What can you do to help

Please download the latest version as soon as it’s available in your store, particularly in a supported jurisdiction, and be sure to turn on location logging.

A note about our mobile app strategy

A general reminder to all PathCheck folks about the SafePlaces (GPS) app vs. the GAEN (Bluetooth) app, in case you find yourself being asked to discuss our apps:

  • For jurisdictions adopting the GPS-based contact-tracing model, there is one single SafePlaces mobile app, and we incrementally add new jurisdictions to it in partnership with health authorities.

  • For jurisdictions adopting the Google-Apple Exposure Notification API, we release a unique version of our app in partnership with each jurisdiction.

  • No labels
