Any known issues like spyware or tracking with this app. This is a tracking app, is it not?

I don't have in depth knowledge about the app. It saves contact based on Bluetooth. At this stage I don't have much more info than what's in the main link or other recent news articles.

My understanding is that this is based on the Singapore government's TraceTogether app. Vanessa Teague has been blogging analysis about the Australian government's approach:

Thankyou for that, great to see some insight from outside the government and media.
