I only get offered the NI one when I visit the app store directly.


Answering my own question it seems it requires a minimum of Android 6.

I can get to the right place by browsing from a PC but not when I try
the same thing on my Android phone. The reviewers rate it as risible!

1.6* at present on a fairly large number of dissatisfied reviews.

Apple one only has one review at present which gave it 5*.

"World beaten" track and trace app. Generic and unstable.

If I want to use it I will have to buy a new Android phone. The
incredibly bad reviews from early adopters suggest it isn't worth it!

It will work on my wife's iPhone so since we are seldom apart these days
with working from home putting it on that will have to do.
