The CovPass app does not work on Samsung Galaxy Flip and Galaxy Fold smartphones. A Samsung employee has confirmed reports of numerous victims in the official forum. Accordingly, scanning QR codes reliably leads to an app crash. This means that users cannot scan in vaccination certificates, which makes the application practically useless.
Based on the user reports, all foldables, i.e. foldable smartphones, from Samsung are affected. The support team of the CovPass application is apparently aware of the problem: “This error is known and often occurs with Samsung flip and fold smartphones. Our technical team is informed and is investigating the problem intensively. We are around We tried very hard to find the fastest possible solution and ask for patience until then “, it says in a support answer that heise online is available.
According to forum entries the problem has existed since at least the end of October. A Samsung employee confirmed the crashes of the CovPass app on Samsung foldables. “The programmers of the app have been informed about this and are working on a solution.” A spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Health said when asked by heise online that the reports would be checked.
CovPass app more expensive than expected
The development and operating costs of the application developed by IBM, Bechtle, Ubirch and GovDigital already amount to 15.4 million euros, as the Federal Ministry of Health recently announced on the TED tendering platform. In the tender for the development, a total volume of 2.7 million euros was mentioned.
Among other things, the connection of the app with programs from doctor’s offices and the operation of a call center for inquiries had an impact on the costs, reported the Wirtschaftswoche. According to the Federal Ministry of Health, the CovPass app had been downloaded 23.5 million times by the beginning of November.
