@timspector Your Covid symptom study app is great but if it sends an email inviting you to book a test on Gov.uk and after inputting all yr details on that website it comes back with a message saying it doesn't recognise you, then there's a problem.
What is this jargon? What happened to user-centred design? What has happened to https://t.co/x9UFZt6Zj4?? This used to be the best, most intuitive govt website to use. This is a hot, incomprehensible mess. I bothered to fill it in for 15 mins, not so sure many others will. 4/4
Part of the reason it takes so long is that I’m asked if I am ‘exempt from self-isolation’ with no other information as to what that means. Nothing. I google it and “paste in” another part of gov.uk which explains that travellers from France are now exempt. 2/4

"[GOV.UK] launched in 2012 and just over a year later it was hosting all the content for 24 departments and 330 organisations. By 2015, it had replaced the sites of 1,882 gov organisations.”

"It is also incredibly frustrating that more than six years work and over £200m of government investment has now apparently been wasted on the Gov.UK Verify service". Oh come on, it wasn't all wasted. Some of it went on consultants. buff.ly/3gNp5tz
My Gov.uk food box arrived. The driver went to the wrong building. I gave precise instructions as to how to find me. He still couldn’t find me & started shouting at ME. He threatened not to give me my delivery so I ended up in tears.

Another consequence of 'austerity' was the loss of individual UK Government Department websites. Navigating the horrible remains on the gov.uk website is no fun.

They tell me to contact them for help linking accounts. And provide a link that loops back on itself with no contact details on it. Well done, gov.uk. A classic.
