On/Go COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test Kit with Test-to-Treat App, 1 Pack, 2 Tests Total, 10-Minute Results, FDA EUA Authorized, Easy to Use at Home, Fast and Accurate

I recently found myself in need of a rapid COVID-19 test and stumbled upon the On/Go One test on Amazon. It proved to be a lifesaver, so I decided to purchase the On/Go 2 test packet when I needed more tests. I was immediately impressed with the packaging and design of the tests, which stood out from other rapid tests that I have used in the past.The On/Go 2 test packet comes in a small box, which is convenient for storage and transportation. The design of the test is simple and easy to use, making it accessible for anyone to perform the test. I found the quality of the test to be high compared to other rapid tests that I have used in the past, and the fact that there are two tests in each packet is a bonus.One aspect of the On/Go 2 test packet that impressed me was the iOS app that comes with it. The app provides guided instructions on how to perform the test, which makes the process even easier. The app also helps in interpreting the test results, which can be a bit tricky with other rapid tests. I did not know about the app when I purchased the On/Go One test, so it was a pleasant surprise to discover it with the On/Go 2 test packet.There is one concern I had with the On/Go 2 test packet, which is the expiration date of September 2022. I contacted On/Go for a refund because I was worried about the validity of the test results. However, they assured me that the expiration date is not a problem and was only placed there due to restrictions. In the listing, they mentioned that the FDA granted an additional three-month shelf-life extension on August 29, 2022.Overall, I highly recommend the On/Go 2 COVID-19 Rapid Test Packet. The small box, simple design, high quality, and the iOS app make it stand out from other rapid tests in the market. The only thing that could make it better is if On/Go paid me for writing this review (just kidding!). I hope this review and the pictures I have included will be helpful to someone else in need of a reliable and easy-to-use COVID-19 rapid test.

One of the best covid-19 tests in the market. Accurate and fast and easy to read.

Here's my overall take on this test kit:The good:1. A quick 10-minute read (compared to most other tests which are 15 mins).2. A nucleocapsid-based antigen test, which allows the test to detect all COVID-19 variants.3. Lists out potentially harmful surfactants used in the liquid reagents.4. Liquid reagent is already inside the testing tube and does not require filling or mixing.5. Bars are clear to read.6. No app is required for the test (only a stopwatch is needed).The not so good:1. The dropper tip is not wrapped in any packaging, but instead just thrown inside the package.2. The contents are inserted into the package upside down, meaning if you tried to open the package and drag the contents out with the front of the package facing you, all of the contents will simply fall out onto the ground. This already happened to me a few times. Since the dropper tip is not protected with packaging, it may affect the quality of the results presented if you were to use that now contaminated tip.3. Short expiration date (even with the extended expiration dates, these tests are still a few months shorter in expiration than the more common iHealth tests).4. Shipped from the factory with economy DHL shipping - takes about 2 weeks to arrive from the date of order. Not so good if you are running out of tests and need some quick.5. You don't always get a fresh batch even though it is shipped directly from the manufacturer. Mine was already a few months old when I got them from the manufacturer.6. More expensive than the iHealth tests for a 2 pack (and subsequently more sales tax if your state charges sales tax).7. The FDA EUA lists the test under AccessBio, which is the manufacturer for these tests. Some insurance companies, unaware of the On/Go relationship with this entity, may decline claims stating that these tests are not under FDA EUA. As an example, HealthNet has already declined two of my claims for these tests for that reason, and probably means you may need to fight to get claims paid if your insurance company tends to nitpick as far as what tests are allowed under the plan. Do note that most insurance will count this kit as being 2 tests, and most will not cover sales tax and shipping from your costs, even if the cost is below $12/test (note that the government actually requires insurance companies to pay both shipping and taxes, although many insurers either don't know about this requirement or is choosing to ignore it).8. The cotton tip is significantly larger than the iHealth tip and is slightly more uncomfortable when conducting the swab.9. Excessive plastic packaging that I think is pretty wasteful.

Easy to use

These tests were great quality and easy to use. My only complaint is that they were a bit on the pricey end and their shelf life was short.

Nice

I am primary caregiver for my father who lives in a memory care unit that requires a COVID test each visitation day, so I test frequently. I am also a lab scientist for 20+ years. Since I have been completely asymptomatic each time I take the test, I assume that my negative test results have been accurate. A couple days ago I used the ON/GO test kit for the third time since I purchased them, and the app told me the test was expired, although the package says that it doesn’t expire until March 2022. Well it’s still January 2022, so I was curious and I wrote into the company via the app to ask why the discrepancy. I received no answer, so I assume that the app has a bug and it’s not registering the QR code correctly. While it’s possible I screwed up, if someone like me (who routinely transfers liquid samples that are 1/100 the volume required by this kit with accuracy (I run PCR tests)), I would guess this test is NOT easy to use and requires more expertise than someone with 20+ years working in a lab.

I tried this and did not care for it, I think the results were not accurate as it claimes to be and I'd steer away from this product!!!
