There is no single recommended app for contact tracing and exposure notification.  Each state’s department of health has its own preferred app. Check your state’s department of health website for more information. Or you can search “contact tracing [YOUR STATE]”. 

Here are a few examples:

Alabama - GuideSafe

Colorado - CO Exposure Notifications

Louisiana - COVID Defense

Michigan - MI COVID Alert

North Carolina - SlowCOVIDNC

Virginia - COVIDWISE

Washington - WA Notify

Wisconsin -  WI Exposure Notification
