"Unfortunately, it was later removed from the app stores."

Sure sign of a trustworthy middleware author

I also have no idea what sarahah was. But I used a search engine and read about it. It took about 30 seconds to understand why the author is using his app as a reference. It was wildly popular for a while but was used in a way that the mighty duopoly of Google and Apple disliked, so it got removed.

No platform should facilitate targeted anonymous messages; that’s one thing we’ve for sure learned about social media, in part thanks to Sarahah. It should be noted that the reason Google and Apple “disliked” it is that hundreds of thousands of their customers petitioned to have it removed. Those people were mostly parents whose kids were getting bullied anonymously.

that is very helpful, perhaps I didn't take into consideration that many people digitally active today don't know about it. thanks for sharing this

It was a knock-off/copy of apps that pivoted or shut down in previous years(circa 2015) for the same reasons. They simply failed to take the lessons learned from apps like Secret, Yik Yak, and Whisper about facilitating wanton anonymous post on the interwebs
