The CNN article talks a bit more about privacy issues. This bit caught my eye:

It’s only available on iOS because Aaron says the app would have to collect information that could ultimately put users at risk to provide the same experience on Android.

I would like to see some details about this. Perhaps there’s a way to work around that problem, even if it meant publishing on F-Droid instead of Google Play.

    The gist of what they’re saying is we trust Apple, not Google. Both american companies. But on android it is possible to have real time notifications without google. I also didn’t like the wording of their page, read a lot like Apple apologia if not an utter advertisement - an iPhone XR costs only 50$! Don’t you guys have phones iPhones??

    Let’s go back for a second and think about the people who need this type of service the most, today, in the US. Are they Apple or Android users?
