As soon as it was released, there was actually pretty good support for it. It was shortly after - when people started realising it didn't actually work as advertised, that it lost all credibility as the government insisted that it did. But you're right, from there it didn't recover.
Most of the bugs affecting how it worked (especially on iPhone) , security and privacy were found by the community, including critical bugs that stopped the app working entirely that weren't fixed until August. All while the government kept saying there was nothing wrong with it.
So it's hard to argue that the bashing wasn't warranted. The app really did not work.
I really want our government to do technology better. Vaccine passports are already off to a poor start - but I really hope that the community has enough influence that we can start to make a difference.
