I got vaccinated 3 months ago but still my certificate has not been synced with Cowin due to which I cannot take me next dose. Provided numbers are number reachable & no one can help you. They are just using this to show case numbers & it’s being run by bunch of layman. I want my vaccine certificate issue fixed. Most of the reviews are fake. **Developer response:** Dear user, we regret for the unpleasant experience you had with COVA app. We would like to take a closer look at the issue you are facing, please share your detailed concern along with screenshot/video at cova.support@punjab.gov.in ### 5/5 — Does the job *2021-06-21* To download your cert you need to sign up first using the phone number you used at the vaccination centre, then sign in with the same phone number. Goto ‘vaccine registrations’ and select ‘my previous registrations’ from menu and download your cert. ### 1/5 — Problems faced by international students. *2021-06-11* There are several problems that international students are going to face like: 1) There is no option of booking an appointment for vaccination. What will happen if someone has taken his/her first dose of vaccination from walk-in centres and can’t able to book there appointment for second dose. So, there would be a special option fo international students who can book their second dose of vaccination after 28 days of first dose.( as per the government guidelines) 2) Secondly, some walk-in centre did not take passport as a proof for vaccination, they take only Aadhaar card, so there would be option that students can reissue there certificates, so that they can upload their passport as a proof not Aadhaar card which would make easy for the students to travel abroad.( because mostly abroad countries want vaccination certificate linked with passport ) 3) Please merge your data with COWIN, if certificate provided by Cova is not internationally valid. Please solve our problems because some students have only one week and some have only one month to travel, we are waiting for your reply. Solve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Covid Vaccine Certificate *2021-05-25* For anyone having issues downloading covid vaccine certificate Take the following steps to download your certificate First login using your mobile number provided during vaccination then click on the vaccine registration option available in the right hand corner menu further you’ll see another option named manage previous registration click on this and option to download your certificate will be available ### 1/5 — Error during signing up *2020-08-18* Downloaded this app for getting e-pass but this app does not let me signing up , no use of this app without signing up! So waste of time ! At this point of time everyone needs the app who works properly with out any error , government developers are really sick! Can you please look in to the matter and solve the issue on priority bases ! ### 5/5 — Issue *2020-08-18* I’m trying to register myself but when i put my name and number then on the OTP screen it says “something went wrong. Please try again later.” Help me login please. **Developer response:** Dear User, COVA App is working fine now. Thanks for your patience.

Their should be option to get it cancel. For proper information. ### 5/5 — Issues with Sign Up *2020-07-08* Have been trying for a number of times to sign up as a new user. However, it keeps prompting of some error. When selecting Resend OTP, message is displayed OTP is sent however, it’s not received The developers were quite unexpectedly swift in their response. Issue has been resolved and the app is working pretty smoothly. Great effort!! **Developer response:** Dear user, We had huge traffic than expected and hence there was some issue at that moment.

While registering takes hours to process. After registering, take more hours to open. Processes every click for 15 mins .. you just have to sit and wait. Not at all compatible with iOS. Crashes repeatedly. I would have given negative rating , if there was. very disappointed . **Developer response:** Dear User, COVA App is working fine now. Thanks for your patience. You may use the App for required information, e-Pass generation or Mission Fateh. If you still face any issue, do write to us at cova.support@punjab.gov.in ### 4/5 — Need some improvement *2020-05-16* It’s doing a great job by giving us authentic information about the covid-19,but there are some issues in the app which has to resolve immediately like submission of e-pass application and nearby corona patient,hotspot containment zone. There should be also some features of further steps taking by the government about the lockdown or curfew and which other services are allowed by the government and which kind of market should be opened with the proper information about te timings to open and other steps which is government undertaking in future to help the needy, farmers,shopkeepers, labourers,industrialists etc. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.2.49 — 2022-04-01 Minor Design changes ### 1.2.48 — 2022-02-04 Minor Design Changes ### 1.2.47 — 2022-01-08 Minor design changes due to Model Code of Conduct ### 1.2.46 — 2022-01-07 Link for Ex-gratia relief fund has been added in menu ### 1.2.45 — 2021-09-24 Minor UI Changes ## More apps by Government of Punjab - [PSBTE Services](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/psbte-services/id1531891715) - [DigiNest](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/diginest/id1535199844) - [PR insight](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pr-insight/id1545819200) - [Jal Seva](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/jal-seva/id1553880209) - [Isocare Health](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/isocare-health/id1565662886) All apps by Government of Punjab: https://appshunter.io/developer/1501970771 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
