It exposes only women's data -- and the app's logo is a naked woman in a stripper pose with crosshairs on top. To me, that makes me think of assault and/or rape.
Mmm, missed that, thanks. Doesn't change the aggression against women in the marketing, though. Though maybe thanks to our culture (violent video games, for example) we've been de-sensitized to this?
If the logo is the same as the splash screen, there are no crosshairs on the woman. That's the radar, which seems to imply targeting or finding, rather than attacking. So I would agree with duxup that it's a bit of a stretch to say it's designed for stalkers, or that it implies assault/rape.
In fact, I think it's a good thing that such an app exists. The bad thing is people not knowing what they share, and that needs to be fixed by Facebook/Google, or through laws. The situation is not that much different from exposing a security hole in order to get it fixed. Besides, some people may actually want their data to be available like this, so once it's strictly opt-in, there's nothing wrong with the app.
Though you could think of it that way, I think it's more likely that sex sells, and the creator of this app thought that putting sexy silhouettes on his app would rake in the users.
