It is reported that the COVIDSafe app had a bug and needs updating

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/public-urged-to-download-covidsafe-app-update

Has anyone seen any recent reports from the government about the number
of downloads of the app?

There are two ways the government could measure/report the downloads

1. Total number of downloads - i.e. pre-update plus since update

2. Downloads of updated version

The first is an invalid measure but is a larger number than the more
correct second.

What's the betting the government goes for #1?

If there is yet another update, the download number should reset again.

To paraphrase an old saying: Release in haste, deal with the chaos at
leisure.
