User reviews
Intrusive and unnecessary permissions in new update Why does this app need permissions to read and modify my calendar or need permission to send emails to guests without owners knowledge or read other personal information. Is this a public health app or something else. Why the need for intrusive permissions in the new update? Please remove these unnecessary permissions.
Whether you're a student of public health or someone who has a passion for the health of the community, this app serves as an excellent resource.
Hard to read The headlines and article samples on the "news" page are all about 1 word to short to tell what the article is about. "Researchers found..."
Why can't I open any of the 37 updates? Come on Harvard university!
