# Features | ||
This app helps you to better understand warnings of the official Corona-Warn-App. | ||
|
||
**ATTENTION:** THE APP REQUIRES ROOT PERMISSIONS. Without root permissions, only a demo mode is possible that cannot access your risk encounters. | ||
|
||
### What the app does: | ||
1. The app reads the Rolling Proximity IDs recorded by your device from the Exposure Notifications database (this is only possible with root permissions, which is why the official Corona-Warn-App cannot display these details). | ||
![-Example Recorded Encounters-](file:///android_asset/rpis_en.png) | ||
2. The app downloads the Diagnosis Keys from the official Corona-Warn-Server. It downloads the keys published daily for the last few days and the keys published every hour for today. Therefore, different information than in the official Corona-Warn-App might be displayed. | ||
![-Example Diagnosis Keys-](file:///android_asset/dks_en.png) | ||
3. The app compares both in order to find matches (risk encounters). | ||
![-Example Matches-](file:///android_asset/matches_en.png) | ||
|
||
If risk encounters are found, it shows the details: | ||
At which times and with which radio attenuation (roughly corresponds to the distance) did the encounters take place, and what level of transmission risk did the encounter have. | ||
![-Example Details-](file:///android_asset/details_en.png) | ||
Note that 1 means a low and 8 means a high transmission risk. | ||
|
||
### What the app does not do: | ||
- The app does not process any personal data. | ||
- The app only accesses the internet for the purpose 2 (see above), i.e. it only downloads data from the official Corona-Warn-Server and does not send any data to other servers. | ||
- The app does not show any advertising. | ||
|
||
**Note:** This app has only been tested on a few devices so far, so it is possible that it will not work and/or show incorrect results. | ||
|
||
# Open Source | ||
The source code of the app is published at https://github.com/mh-/corona-warn-companion-android, so you can check the source code, build the app yourself, and you are also welcome to contribute to improvements. | ||
|
||
# Other | ||
- The app is used for private purposes only, it is not used for any business purposes. | ||
- The app is not a "hacking tool". It only reads data from the memory of your own device, which is stored there without additional encryption. |
