What Is This App?

It’s a React Native app built with Expo (SDK 54), running on the Hermes JavaScript engine. The backend is WordPress with a custom REST API. The app was built by an entity called “forty-five-press” according to the Expo config.

    The user tracking is dodgy, yes but i can see it happening in any business where developers are clueless yes men.

    As for pay wall countermesures I can see how some person in Trump org not being happy about the links in the app being pay walled and asked the dev to remove the popups which they did without question.
