Yes, sure thing, I can imagine that, with millions of people using WhatsApp, Signal and what not. I can also imagine that not everyone on the planet has a smart phone and Internet access yet, due to poverty or other reasons. And in the Western world there are likely still elderly people who have never even touched a smart phone and have a dumb phone. This new app could be useful for people who still want to use 2G with dumb phones.
It works with 2G, sure, but I'm not sure how it would work on dumb phones: how messages would be decrypted or encrypted on a dumb phone, without that app?
Ah, yes, good one. (I feel dumb now, time to catch some sleep) ๐
