    The developer chose the correct platform for that then. It’s an apple only app.

    His excuse? Android requires him to store databases of user IDs, but Apple does it themselves so it’s more “private”. There are tons of opensource push notification platforms available on Android that you can sideload. But seems like the developer wants the limelight than anything.

    Also my honeypot senses are tingling.

      The number one thing that makes this app potentially effective is reach. You don’t build a debase big enough to be worthwhile with a side loaded android app, certainly not in a short period of time.
