Description
1point5 helps you to maintain social distance. Use this app to alert you when other app users are too close so you can move, and maintain social distance from them.
Use this app for teams at home or at work. Everyone’s device must have the app downloaded and the app must be turned on for detection to work. Detection will run unless paused. While paused, the app will not detect other devices or be able to be detected. You can create “Teams” of safe people and mute alerts from them, if you need to stay close but want notifications from non team members.
Features
Active User Detection: Tells you when other devices - that have the app installed and turned on - are within your devices ranges: • Safer • Caution • Warning • High Risk, Danger
Safe Teams: The Teams feature allows users to join a team of people they have chosen to not be socially distanced from. Use this for families or work team members. Add users to your 'Safe Team' using secure QR codes for each handset. The app will mute notifications from your Team members and logs the interaction as “Safer” in the history section. I.E. • Create your family’s Team for a socially distanced block party where all the neighbors are using the app. • At the workplace: Your company team can use the app. User Teams for when you and your co-worker must remain close to do your job (and have decided its safe to do so), but you both still want notifications from other coworkers during the workday, Teams allows you to do this.
Live Alerts: Real time alerts on other active users’ proximity based on signal strength Push notifications for ‘Danger’ and ‘Too Close’

★★★★★
The old version of the app didn't really work, but the new version of this app is great for two important things: Group meetings where you want groups of people to socially distance. Workplace environments where teams of people are supposed to stay socially distant. For example: I used this app to meet with some friends for a BBQ last weekend. Each family created a team and the app was good at letting us know when we forgot that we weren't supposed to be standing to someone. The app worked great for that with my phone in my pocket. If this was a commercial product I would 4 or maybe even 3 stars, but it's important to understand that this app was developed by volunteers working nights and weekends to try to make something useful to help combat COVID19. I wish Apple or Google or some major company with resources would fund an effort like this. Until then I think we should show our support to the UN and the open source community for making something useful.

Good initiative.

Hello Team. I installed the application and keep device in background. I am not getting notification/alert when app is killed/background mode. Is it working in foreground mode only? If iPhone device is beside to android then it's not showing alert as well. Can you fix this issue to make best products?
★★☆☆☆
Waste of installing the app and it is not working at least minimum
★★☆☆☆
I've installed the app and followed directions. It is not working at all. Standing next to my husband with his phone and Bluetooth on but no alerts. Says No One is around. I even restarted my phone to see if that would help. Great idea but I'd hoped it would work.
