Thank you! Super easy to order some additional tests for my daughter and for her to pick them up. These tests are easy to do and the app makes them great for travel too.
by Mike
Super fast service! Very helpful when I was symptomatic.

This worked when my wife and I came down with symptoms. Both of us tested negative for the virus. Turned out to be just a nasty cold after all. The test was accurate, but not as simple and user friendly as some the others we’ve used in the past.
by Buffy
The directions for this kit are very good and easy to follow. The only thing I should have done was to test myself again in a couple of days. I first tested the day I was sick, (fever, sore thoart, and other Covid symptoms) and the test came back negative. After speaking with a doctor he said I should have tested again in a couple of days. This was back in Feb. 2022 and I still feel very tired, so I think I had the Covid 19 virus and I tested too soon. I’m not sure if I truly trust these home kits.
by Donna
This gives us peace of mind, especially since we have a young grandchild who can’t get vaccinated yet.
