In the 2020 epidemic year, no free app for iPhones was downloaded by German users in Apple's App Store more often than the Corona warning app. According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the total number of downloads is around 23.2 million (as of November 26, 2020), and the application is said to have been downloaded around 10.6 million times in the App Store alone.
