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

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 / country. It’s very confusing.

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.

Curating an app can have a huge effect on the number of downloads.

For people at Apple and Google: can you forward this to the relevant team?
