Eyes Up’s purpose is to “preserve evidence until it can be used in court.” But it has been swept up in Apple’s attack on ICE-spotting apps.

    Why do you need an app for that, when it can be blocked from both app stores? Did people forget about self hosted websites?

        Unironically yes, mostly cause most websites on mobile are the most horrid experience and an app for the average audience is just how phones are nowadays

          Also some shady company can get full access to my photos, contacts, call history, location data, camera etc. when I use their app to remind me to buy tomatoes and eggs. its just how things are in 2025 🤷 /s

          A lot of sites suck on mobile because the browser sucks, the app can’t be bothered to make a mobile friendly version, or it’s intentionally made awful to force you to use the app (assuming they don’t literally just redirect you to the app store when you try to go to the website).

          I’m actually surprised at how often a shitty looking website looks fine once I tell the stupid fucking built in kneecapped chrome browser to open in Firefox and it’s fine.
