This dataset provides information about 837 mobile applications (apps) published across the whole world to fight the COVID-19 crisis. This information includes: (a) information available in the mobile app stores (Apple App Store and Google Play) between 20/04/2020 and 02/08/2020; (b) complementary information obtained from manual analysis performed until mid-September 2020; and (c) status information about app availability on 28/02/2021, when we last visited the mobile app stores. The dataset is one of the outcomes of the JRC Unit B.6 multi-channel approach to the monitoring and analysis of COVID-19-related mobile apps.
