Ask HN: Why do Apple and Google not promote the regional Covid tracing app?

2 pointsby mgliwkaalmost 5 years ago
If you currently search for coronavirus app in the app stores it’s highly likely that you don’t find the right one for your region &#x2F; country. It’s very confusing.<p>Apple and Google have editors, which curate apps and promote them on the App Store landing area. Is there a reason why this doesn’t happen for COVID tracing apps? Both companies only allow a single app in a country to use Apples and Googles privacy preserving tracing implementation, so the applications should be known to them. They could at least highlight the relevant application or rank it differently.<p>Curating an app can have a huge effect on the number of downloads.<p>For people at Apple and Google: can you forward this to the relevant team?
