SARS CoV-2 coronavirus, the virus responsible for COVID-19, has been identified as a new and emerging infectious disease resulting in a pandemic. With the WHO urging countries to brace for the impacts of COVID-19 on their population, our app aims to identify how at-risk individuals are experiencing and managing infection. There is an urgent to understand the individual and community transmission risk better. While there is a growing understanding of COVID-19 experiences, there are still gaps of knowledge in the spectrum of the disease and the epidemiology of those affected and the impact on their health and well-being. The purpose of the app is to assess how to best utilize real-time data to track symptoms and locations to best understand where and who are most affected by COVID-19. Further, by using individual reports, rather than passive measures of location, we are able to better understand human experiences with the infection throughout their daily lives. This app aims to utilize self-reported intra-day measures of COVID-19 symptom and potential exposure that an individual may have throughout the day.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: On/Go at 4.8 against My COVID's 3.3. On/Go also leads on ratings volume (52K vs 6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). My COVID's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On/Go holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: On/Go has 52K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of My COVID's written reviews are positive against 80% of On/Go's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My COVID ships an update every 2 months, On/Go every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
