History.
The app started out as a platform service for doctors and was adapted in 2016 to focus on the bits patients could understand. The app takes reported symptoms, matches them with symptoms of patients of similar age and gender, and reports the statistical likelihood that the patient has a certain condition.
The Ada consumer product, the app, is currently available in English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Swahili, Romanian, and French. As of September 2020, the Ada app has been downloaded 10 million times and completed 20 million symptom assessments. It is free of charge and has the highest consumer ranks among similar apps. Thanks to funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Fondation Botnar, in November 2019, Ada launched its app in both Swahili and Romanian. 
Media coverage.
Ada has been compared to WebMD, Babylon's GP at Hand app and Your.MD. In October 2017, when three apps were tested with symptoms from asthma, shingles, alcohol-related liver disease, and urinary tract infection, Ada performed very well; it asked about the most important symptoms and provided the best diagnoses. It produced diagrams showing which of the symptoms for each disease were present and the strength of the link, and a diagram of the percentage of people likely to have that diagnosis.
In October 2019 a German IT security professional claimed that the Ada app was sending sensitive user-data (f.e. symptoms, IPs, Android ad IDs etc) to the Amplitude product analytics service (api.amplitude.com), and some German users' insurance provider to their Facebook Analytics account. 
In September 2020, Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development issued a report identifying Ada as of the AI solutions that have the "potential to address existing health inequalities and provide medical expertise to clinicians, health workers, and patients alike - all with the aim of improving the quality, access, and cost of healthcare delivery."
