The app is only available on iOS, because it would have to collect information on Android that could put people at risk.

I would be curious to learn more about how the OS requires an app to collect data.

Play store requires a home address for app downloads, both for the publisher and any users, so it would allow precise targeting of people if they ask google to disclose the information. No idea why this isn’t published on F-Droid though .
