The Chinese edition of Scientific American in June 2020 called CovidNet "the world's most real-time, extensive, and geographically differentiated COVID-19 tracking platform". An article in Cartography and Geographic Information Science said CovidNet "may possess unique advantages in early reporting of data, but for the most part it has lower disagreement coefficients with other datasets to date". Researchers in the journal IEEE Access discussed a shortcoming of CovidNet, writing, "Another issue is for a display dashboard, the raw data is difficult to access by the public (even it claims the data could be distributed with permission). Hence, it is impossible for users to define the granularity of data, filter the content of data and select the categories of data for customized scholar research."
