According to Statista [1], in July 2020, the Federal Government's Corona Warning App (CWA) [2] was far ahead of all others in the ranking of the most popular apps in the Google Play Store in Germany and, according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), Recorded 16.8 million downloads [3]. On August 17, 2020 there were already 17.2 million, and at the beginning of November 21.9 million were registered [4]. This can certainly be seen as a success – after a long, perhaps too long, development phase. However, whether the app's intended goal of “breaking chains of infection earlier than previously possible” will be achieved and whether the software can thus be “another component of pandemic control that complements the classic contact tracking of local health authorities” remains an open question [3 ].
