### 1/5 — Russian App

*2025-10-20, version 2.9*

Hello? People? Why are we using this app for countdowns, when it’s literally RUSSIAN MADE and a violation of OPSEC???

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-07-16, version 2.9*

This app will not open for me at all.

### 1/5 — NOT SAFE

*2022-11-12, version 2.9*

do not use for your deployed military member. Not a safe developer

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2022-09-01, version 2.9*

DO NOT USE THIS APP IF YOU CARE FOR YOUR MILITARY DEPLOYED. This app is RUSSIAN.

### 1/5 — Bad for military families

*2022-03-05*

there’s “no privacy info on the app” which means an app developer can…. 

1. Track your every movement… or where ever your phone is. Even if your APP is closed. 
2. Record ALL of your calls
3. Get access to your all the photos on phone and use them for face recognition or worse… the black market
4. Sell your data
5. Knows exactly when your service member will be home… to the second.

### 1/5 — Made my a Russian Developer

*2022-03-05*

the soldier timer everyone is using is made by a Russian developer? 
I did a little digging…. Because I wasn’t sure if it was Russian or Ukrainian…And that this developer is banned in Ukraine ( this was before they invaded) 
and that there’s “no privacy info on the app” which means an app developer can…. 
1. Track your every movement… or where ever your phone is. Even if your APP is closed. 
2. Record ALL of your calls
3. Get access to your all the photos on phone and use them for face recognition or worse… the black market
4. Sell your data
5. Knows exactly when your service member will be home… to the second. 
When we think OPSEC. we never think about the apps that help us get through the day… but just like Alexa is listening… 
Your phone is always on you. 
Conspiracy theroist unite… BUT I’ve been to the spy museum in DC one two many times to think this is a coincidence… so much so that the DOD & ARMY G2 is now investigating this app
If I was a tricky Russian hacker/spy. I would 100% make a cool tracker that American military families would placed all their sensitive info in… about their service members and that they would carry around in their pocket every single place they went…
I wouldnt need to do anything thing else. I’d have all the data I needed… to do anything I wanted….
Just saying….
Delete the app off your phone and out of your apple or play store.

### 1/5 — Please don’t put your service member at risk

*2022-03-05*

NATO intelligence has put about warnings about this app. It is owned by a Russian dev and asks for highly sensitive information while having no privacy protections in place. Just by downloading it you can put your service member at risk, and far more if you actually put in all the sensitive info it asks for you. Remember OPSEC!

### 1/5 — Russian developer with no security

*2022-03-03, version 2.9*

Do NOT recommend the use of this app!

### 1/5 — Not A Good App

*2021-08-03*

This app is owned by a Russian software company, and you are not keeping your service members safe if you use this app. They can track where they are, track the time they have left until they come home and it is extremely dangerous. Please do not get this app, go for any other countdown app, just not this one! OPSEC is SO important!

### 1/5 — Don’t download if you are US

*2020-01-01, version 2.9*
