Blackpool, Halton and Manchester took the top three spots on the list, based on 8,798 swab tests done between August 2 and August 15.
Halton, which topped last week's list, has seen a slight increase in its population symptom rate, with the figure now at 0.35%, reports the Mirror.
However, experts say they are not too concerned about the latest figures as the rates were 100 times higher in April and May.
Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at King's College London, which developed the app, said: “The trends are flat which is reassuring despite the multiple small outbreaks we have been seeing across the UK in places like Manchester.
"Our survey data is consistent with the ONS household survey, which estimates slightly higher numbers due to the inclusion of asymptomatic cases."
The app figures show there were on average 1,265 new cases every day in the UK over the two-week period, with 20,299 currently suffering coronavirus symptoms.
