BluenoteMac, I posted this back in July. Look at the date of my post. It was a valid warning and the fact that the developers made such a blunder with something that purports privacy should give anyone pause in the future as well. This is the kind of stuff that gets activists jailed, tortured and killed.

Sorry if you can't handle the truth or look at dates of posts.
There are currently no troubleshooting comments. If you are experiencing a problem with this app, please post a comment.
