My current cell phone is too old for that app.

Damn. You'd think they'd fix that, given that it's a huge flaw.

Other people have been asking about making it work for as many makes and models as possible. I guess my phone's OS can't be updated any further...?

If it's similar to the app here in North Carolina, i wonder if the sophistication of the bluetooth technology -- hardware specifically -- that is a limiting feature.

[dewline]

Maybe. I need to look into that. But it just seems like my phone's OS is too old.

And for an awful lot of others as well, it seems.

My phone is new enough, but New Mexico is not doing app-based contact tracing.

Adding insult to injury, my university does have an app! But it's for main campus only.
