Features & Capabilities

Traze is a nationwide contact tracing application designed specifically for Filipinos to help them feel safe during the pandemic. It offers a reliable, simple tool that automates contact tracing across Philippine ports, terminals, establishments, transportation, and communities.

Key features include compliance with the Data Privacy Act (RA 10173), no reliance on Bluetooth or GPS technology, and use of QR Code scanning for tracing contacts and visited locations. The app allows anonymous registration, optional submission of personal info, and supports users without mobile phones through community or family member registration. Traze operates effectively even on slow data or WiFi and is completely free to use.

Registration is available for individuals, establishments, schools, barangays, and transport services, generating QR Codes that can be stored digitally or printed. Users scan QR Codes of places, people, or transportation to create a safe contact history and trace interactions. Traze enhances safety without providing health or medical recommendations, making it an essential contact tracing solution for the Philippines.

User Reviews

User reviews reveal that while Traze offers offline capabilities and data control, it suffers from frequent crashes and login problems. Users struggle with strict password rules and a problematic mandatory selfie feature. Advertisements disrupt the experience, and the app's bugs limit its usefulness for contact tracing. Although updates are made, persistent issues hamper its effectiveness and ease of use, causing significant user frustration.

Pros

Allows offline usage, enabling some functionality without internet connection.
Provides user control over data shared, including protection for sensitive screenshots.
Supports QR code scanning as part of its contact tracing functionality.
Enables registration and account creation process that is straightforward initially.
Receives updates and attempts improvements over time.

Cons

App frequently crashes, especially after updates, causing frustration and unusability.
Login issues including inability to log in after account creation; sometimes showing offline despite active connection.
Password restrictions are too strict or unclear, such as disallowing special characters and unclear password requirements.
Mandatory photo/selfie feature is buggy, sometimes causing loops or crashes, and lacks flexibility like photo upload option.
Presence of intrusive advertisements, including full-screen ads, detracts from user experience and is viewed as inappropriate for a contact tracing app.

Recent reviews

App keep crashing. Cannot connect to server? Please click cancel and try again? I tried it already but it always crash. As usual government devs not always reliable. Poorly developed app. This app do not deserve even 1star rating.

Registration for the account was straight forward. Not until post-registration when you have to log in using the created account to use the app. I found myself having my account as invalid, i ended up wasting two accounts because of it. Later found out that re-installing the app solves the problem. Something like this present in an app that is used for Covid contact tracing should not be allowed or considered usable as health security measure.
