Currently, all you see is tat the app tells you that it is "aktiv". It would be nice to have some information about:

Last sync from central server
How many foreign tokens the device has seen or local has been saved for yesterday/the last 7 days/14 days

That would help get a sense of how many contacts you have.

A never do is:

Display this data immediately updated. Reason: You might find out if a person next to you is using the app or not.

I think this feature is very important to motivate people to keep the app installed. How do I know it's actually doing something? Have I come into contact with anybody else that is using it? Some sort of feedback that encouraged people to keep it installed would be useful.

This Info is already available in Android under Settings/Google/Covid-19 Notifications/Exposure Checks

Interesting, I did not know that was there. Would it be possible for the SwissCovid app to show it, or at least to provide a link to this settings page? That's where I was expecting this info to be.

I'm surprised to see multiple (8-10) checks at exactly the same time with different hashes, I would expect only one per timestamp.

With version 1.0.7 a new feature was included showing the last successful synchronisation time with the backend. The Google ExposureNotification API does not provide any possibility for showing the number of registered tokens.
