Better name for the app #39

I find the actual name of the app 'next step' completely unintuitive and unhelpful. I actually reinstalled the app a second time, just because I did not know the name and the obvious keywords like 'corona', 'tracking', ' dp-3t' were useless in finding it on my phone.

Can we find a better name allowing for an educated guess to tell what the app is/does ?

Sounds like a candidate for a widespread public crowdsourcing of ideas (with some HI-based filtering to avoid it being called Appy Mc Appface).

The name should be simple and to the point, just reflecting the essentials of the app. Something like 'Covid Tracker' sounds good to me. Maybe we need to add a qualifier like 'Covid Tracker DP3T', as there are/will be plenty of covid related apps in the various app stores. So a quite unique qualifier can be useful to help people to get the correct one.
