Yeah besides that bit of feedback, I think the project is brilliant and actually has a lot of nice parts to it that go way beyond the technical aspects but really show a sophisticated understanding of what you actually want out of a real life somebody might end up seriously harmed if this goes wrong covert communications system so kudos to you and the team on that!

Edit: you might want to consider putting that warning about work devices in the app itself right before someone pushes forward with making potentially life changing decisions and doesn’t rely on them reading an FAQ. I see you already have an onboarding flow in place. It would be really simple to make that the first screen of it.

I agree, it should certainly be front-and-centre, either the landing page or the on-boarding carousel.

I'll see if we can get something together before the next app release. Thanks again!

Happy hunting! Hope you’re able to deliver some really nice scoops safely with this in the future. It was actually really refreshing to see a news organisation take this seriously beyond just “here’s my signal”
