COVID Certificate for Android

I am a Us tourist headed to Switzerland and registered via the website with my CDC card and other info. Canton Bern turned around my certificate quickly (1 day) but be aware they request you register five business days ahead of your trip. Used a ‘transfer code’ and when my Certificate was ready it loaded directly into the app. Also, I could scan my family’s QR codes that I received by email to keep all our certificates in one app.

DOES NOT WORK FOR US CITIZENS. Paid sfr 30 application fee only to be rejected as US vaccine card did not contain “a stamp by the CDC” which doesn’t even exist anyhow although the Swiss somehow feel that it does. This app is an unmitigated disaster. Thankfully most Swiss establishments are ignoring this unnecessarily complicated protocol and are accepting visitors on basis of presentation of a visitor’s photo ID and paper proof of vaccination, and of course a mask. Keep it simple Switzerland. Not everything has to be as complicated as a Swiss watch!!!

Love it because it’s needed and does it’s job well. Hate it because requests to developers and BAG for 1) an Google watch app and 2) ability to import Covid cert into Google wallet remain ignored. (Also wonder why my halbtax bus pass has my picture but I need separate ID for my Covid pass. It’s ridiculous. If you want people making entry controls to do a decent job make job easy by putting pic on the certificate.)

I can’t even get past the “import pdf” page bc the app keeps crashing. Also, not enough info on coming from the US provided.

Beyond the fact a vaccinated person outside of the EU needS to send vaccination and other ID documentation to be evaluated. In the meantime you need to get rapid tests every 48 hours. Could not generate a transfer code in the app - had to rely on email. Could not get an SMS to open the PDF without using a local number as the US don’t recognize ‘00’ - please use the ‘+’ sign instead of ‘00’ and it will work!!
