It’s a great idea if everyone would agree to it but highly doubtful that a tourist would want to do that in case they came in contact and had to be quarenteened during their vacation. Just my two cents.
WOW!! George Orwell has come to Maui a bit late with his 1984 scenario.
Exactly what I was thinking!
I see insanity still reigns in Hawaii. It’s clear visitors are not welcome, the continued paranoia over COVID is insanity!
Have you read the CDC s figures? It’s a flu that 99.8% of those who get it recover ! If you’re over 72 and healthy it’s 95%
Yes some will die but people die everyday of suicide, alcohol
cancer heart disease and countless other things!
You can outlaw death, it’s called living not existing
Wake up!
Have been coming to Hawaii for years. Will never agree to an app like that. 2% virus increase due to visitors? This is absolute lunacy. We come to Hawaii to get away from things and it’s actually made worse. So unfortunate.
We own Westin Timeshare weeks on both Maui and Kauai. There is no chance we are coming back to any Hawaiian island as long as these draconian rules exist. Our family will take advantage of the Westin’s Vacation ownership program to see other properties in US & other non-US regions.
With all these new rules and regulations not sure we can qualify heading to Hawaii as a “vacation” anymore. Not seeing any great hotel rates as they look to be the same if not more than usual. Although, they may want to keep it that way. Friends of mine that work out on front street say most of the people they have gotten in are staying at air bnbs and Home rentals and aren’t high rollers they usually have this time of year.

This is a slippery slope. If you allow one area to make mandatory the download and use of an app that tracks you, even with the “safeguards” in place, what would prevent our government from making it mandatory for everyone to have on their phones?
I get it that other countries require it to be downloaded and used, but they have different rules than we have in the United States, and the fact that those rules still allow civil liberties, the fact remains that making this mandatory could be argued, could be construed as a violation of those rights.
That would be a big NO for me.
We most likely after going to the islands for 20 years will not go again. Sad world we now live in.
We have it in Canada since quite a while and I have it on my phone. Privacy is guaranteed and no issue for us. It’s no problem for us to download the App when next time we visit. Looking forward to be back soon.
You say privacy is guaranteed. What makes you so sure of that??
The App works using Bluetooth. So it can read someone elses App nearby and will tell you if that person is positive (in the last 14 days) and if that person entered the fact that he or she has Covid. So, if you get notified, it gives you a chance to monitor yourself.
The Government will not ping your phone. We have it here in Canada since quite a while. Totally harmeless, but actually only works if everyone uses it.
The number one selling book right now (not joking) is Orwell’s 1984. Not too suprising.
Just to be accurate, George Orwell’s “1984” is #6 on the Amazon Charts “Most Sold” book list for the week of January 10, 2021.
I was actually surprised to find it even that high on the list.
