All of Us Research Program 17+

I too can only get the app to load the majority of the time. It usually takes multiple hard killing/closing the app and then reopening to get your stuff to load.

I was notified this week that my DNA info was available. After going through each DNA section and doing my submissions I cannot clear the iOS notification indicator on the app. I’ve read all my messages/notifications within the app and have no other activities to complete. No matter what I do I cannot clear the flag - only turning notifications off seem to clear it. There should be a way to delete the messages within the app without having to turn off notifications entirely.

Unfortunately both the app and the program have issues. The app is still not completely syncing with HealthKit. The notifications I get in the app are not all the same as I get by email. As others have said, why are there two apps? More information on DNA results would be good. It has been 6 months and only some results are there (others who sent I after me have gotten more data). Link from within the app don’t always work. I signed up to link an external provider. Two weeks later I am still getting a still syncing message. And why is there such a limited number of providers you can link to? Why number major labs and drug stores? And the biggie that makes me question the program.

I got major web site issues (links not working, cryptic messages, etc) when attempting to sign up for local blood work. I have sent emails to help/support twice in the last three weeks and still waiting for a response. I tried online chat and it was obviously they knew nothing about the program.

I REALLY like the idea of the project. I have participated in several research programs that are very time consuming and feel we all owe to help out research when we can. But some of these issues make me question this program and their commitment to follow through on the project.

So in early 2021 at least, the app will sync your HealthKit data up to the AllOfUs program. This is handy as HealthKit can act as the hub for my fitness data from Apple or Garmin or Withings and send that information up to the program. I was able to get this app to sign in and apparently send my data whereas at present, the other AllOfUs app (the white one) won’t log in. I feel the other app looked to have better features and layout but if it doesn’t work, then I believe this blue one is automatically the winner. If it is forwarding the health data and sends me messages when the program wants more information then I think it largely covers the bases.

I am taking a star off though as it needs locking functionality. If someone is using the phone they can just hit the app and it gives full access to your account. I’d like to see the app have a pin/biometric unlock as you’d find with other health apps.
