Named after the spikes that jut out of their surface, like a crown or the sun's corona, the coronavirus has sparked tons of misinformation. Keeping this in mind or the profit that could be created from it via ads on mobile applications, Apple and Google have been strictly evaluating the apps that make it to their stores. Searching for the subject or keywords on Apple's App Store reveals few relevant results while on Google's Play Store reveals nothing unless you search for the specific title. Here's what we found after we gave them a workout.

Corona Tracker

Using data from The Center For Systems Science and Engineering at John Hopkins, the app conveys the intensity of the virus through pie charts, line graphs and bar diagrams.
What worked: An extremely well-designed application, it offers a split screen showcasing a global map and statistics at the bottom. The map is dynamic ie figures related to COVID-19 cases can be drawn out for every country and split into three categories: confirmed, recovered and deaths.
What didn't work: Even though the app shows that it's updating figures each time you log out, the total for India stood at 82 so it isn't updating in real-time. Plus, apart from statistics, there's no real utility to it for common people.
