It doesn’t collect or send your location data. So it couldn’t be of any help to the police, nice idea though.

Whoever is trolling these simple and paranoid people must be having great fun. A single post on FB sent to the right types of people gets a whole bunch of them running for cover, in case the police decide to get them. Its a mental health issue but likely great fun for those playing them.

They are already having to explain that it doesn’t send your location or data to anywhere other than keep it on your phone, in case the conspiracy crew get worried that someone cares where they are.

Agreed, even happy-head Cox has poked his head up to explain to the masses that its not a spy app. Why he has to get involved I don’t know. If they want to appeal to the masses, just ask a pop star not a science teacher/publicity chap.
