The article lists the following apps associated with Israeli developers or companies:
ZipoApps (also known as Rounds.com):
Bazaart (AI-powered photo editing app)
Facetune (by Lightricks)
Supersonic from Unity:
Playtika (gambling apps, specific titles not listed in the article)
Crazy Labs:
Moovit (urban transport app)
Call App (call screening app)
Gett (ride-hailing app)
Waze (GPS navigation app)
Fooducate (nutrition app)
Who else besides Waze can warn me if the police are nearby?!!!
Google Maps in Android Auto does it, but I think they use Waze data.
Google bought Waze, so at this point you're probably not making any Israeli spies money if you make use of it. On the other hand, you're making Google money, which is almost as bad.
google (along with most of tech) is lousy with isreali interests.
