More on the Citizen App

A number of folks have sent me links to this article about the Citizen app and/or this article and/or this article.  I was raising questions about its accuracy or usefulness.  These articles raise questions about its integrity.

I'm trying to decide how much use (if any) this app is to my life besides occasionally warning me a road is closed. If and when I dope that out, maybe I can weigh it against the negatives and decide if I want to have this thing on my phone. I'm leaning — but not very far yet — to no.
