Holy crap that app has been review bombed like crazy on the Play store. Down to 2.0, claiming it uses your phone to make calls, kills your battery, etc. One even claiming it's "trying to push it's own agenda on you without letting you choose how to use for your own benefits" like wtf? The bots and trolls just need enough text to seem legitimate, I suppose.

Great effort and execution. Wonderful job. We also need one to identify Koch products and halt project 2025. They want to do terrible things.

I have the app and the developer is a Palestinian himself. I genuinely hope it survives, the app helps a lot to boycot products that deal with Israel.

It’s unfortunate to see that so many products have deals with Israel. Some products are sadly impossible to avoid.

Here’s a screenshot about the app from within the app itself

The app on the AppStore (IOS): No Thanks App

EDIT: apologies, should’ve read your post in its entirety. You already mentioned the developer was a Palestinian.

The website you link being timesofisrael is a bit ironic. Great app nonetheless! If they're writing about it then it's working and is among the most probable reasons of the tiktok ban

Slightly off topic, but wasn't there a general purpose boycott app? One that allowed one to figure out the political stance behind products. Initially it was marketed as the anti-woke app, but further investigation showed that anti-woke was only one profile of many you could subscribe to.

It's a great app, unfortunately it's not open-source. According to the Exodus report, it contains some tracking SDKs, but their network activity can be blocked in DNS. It also displays an ad banner by default, but this can easily be turned off in the settings.

It's gonna get pulled from app stores for "promoting antisemitism". You don't need to be the Kwisatz Haderach to foresee this.

I love this.

BDS all the fucking way.

Great app works very well. Users can submit barcodes and brands and the database is really significant by now. I tried it on a few articles and it correctly recognized each of them.

Is the app open source ?

It's a great app. I've been using it for some time now

This app is so useful in helping me exclude products that support the apartheid genocide regime.

Boycott Divest and Sanctioning Israel is the only way to bring about the end of Zionism.

I love the idea of the app, but I think some greater coordination with the BDS movement would help. Instead of a simple "yes/no", tell the user of the app which category the product/company is listed in by BDS and let them make up their own mind.

For example, currently products in the "pressure targets" are displayed exactly the same as "consumer boycott target". As BDS says, boycotts are most effective when they're more highly targetted. So there's no problem with boycotting the pressure targets, but there is if someone uses the fact that they're boycotting a pressure target as an excuse to feel good and not boycott a boycott target. Being clearer could only help.

Relevant BDS page.
