They see lots of different certificates on a daily basis. Home tests are not specifically banned when performed under supervision. In fact, she said she knows there are testing services that go to the home of the passenger to deliver a kit and again to pick it up.

The question is what the German authorities will do, will they accept looking at your app or maybe a printout from the app or a PDF of a printout shown on your phone screen?

Does BinaxNow generate a QR code?

The issue is, even if they don't accept a home test, why would some random testing lab in the US be more reliable to them?

France is requiring proof of vaccination AND test results from Americans, including Antigen test results.
