If you are looking for the official COVID Exposure Notification System app for your country or state, you may not be able to find it, thanks to the complicated way Google is handling the search function for COVID-related apps on the Play Store. Although many apps are testing the Google ENS API, the tag is missing from some lists and, worse yet, there are some apps that you just can’t search on the Play Store. Since it appears that each country and state in the U.S. is creating its own standalone application, some areas are lagging behind others, so it is difficult to know whether your location has an application available. That’s why I took the time to gather all of the COVID tracking apps currently available on the Play Store and will continue to update this list as new apps are released.
To keep things organized, I divided this list of COVID tracking apps into three sections. The first section offers all US-based applications that are officially released and use the ENS API. The second group covers international ENS API applications and the third covers releases that are still being tested, so they still need to earn their ENS badge on the Play Store or simply use a different technology for tracking.
