    Anyone have a link to the app/website? I’d like to follow some among honing my horn and warning folks.

        Is this only on Apple? Kind of lame.

          This is IOS only owing to Android play store collecting a device identifier; the creator wanted complete anonymity

          Quote from some other place people were discussing it. Unfortunately no source on it.

          EDIT: https://www.iceblock.app/android

            There are other stores besides the playstore…

              It’s not about the store, it’s about the notification.

              As mentioned in the Time article:

              the app is not available on Android because it “requires a device ID in order to send push notifications, which requires a user account and a password.”

                You don’t need a user account or password to receive a push notification.

                You just need to have the app installed. The app can be configured by the developer to receive push notifications.

                  And the developer needs a device ID for that. Which is their objection: https://www.iceblock.app/android
