Immuni - Italian GAEN App

I just downloaded Immuni, with is the national Italian GAEN app. My region is part of the initial trial period.

A few observations I thought were interesting

• In onboarding, I had to read the privacy policy (which is short and easy to read). I did not have to read the terms.

• There’s an explicit warning screen about Scammers in the onboarding, explaining that nobody associated with the app will ever reach out to contact you and certainly won’t ask for any additional info.

• There is consistent and repeated messaging about the importance of using the app, throughout.

• There is a very extensive FAQ built into the app, covering a wide range of topics, including how it works, privacy, why it is so important, and just about everything else imaginable. (38 questions in total!)

  • The FAQ is also on their website here: https://www.immuni.italia.it/faq.html

• Very full-on in encouraging adoption, so e.g, the answer to “Do I have to use the App?” is a long piece about why it is really important for everyone to use the app, followed by the final observation that it is optional if you don’t want to.

• Screenshotting of pages in the App is blocked. (otherwise I’d have shared a load of screenshots).

  • However the Italian versions of many screenshots can be downloaded from here: https://www.immuni.italia.it/press.html

• Open Source - available here: Immuni - Commissario straordinario per l'emergenza Covid-19
