Good2Go Sexual Conset App to Undergo Changes, Relaunch in Spring
Legal and College Insurrection have been closely following Good2Go, most recently with its shut down earlier this week. Now the app’s developers are vowing to relaunch in the spring after modifying the app to make it purely educational not retain any user information.

NEXT VERSION OF GOOD2GO TO BE ‘PURELY EDUCATIONAL,’ NO SEXUAL DATA COLLECTED
After wildly diverging reviews that were somehow nearly uniform in criticizing the design and execution of the Good2Go sexual-consent app, software maker Sandton Technologies plans to relaunch the app solely as an “educational tool,” Slate‘s Amanda Hess says.
The next version, which President Lee Ann Allman said Tuesday would be resubmitted to the Apple and Google app stores in the spring, will have “no registration screens [and] no data captured by the app” – in other words, no information that could be subpoenaed by prosecutors or campus officials, Hess said after talking to Allman.
Apple yanked the app from the iTunes store after concluding it violated developer terms that ban apps with “excessively objectionable or crude content,” and Sandton decided to take down the app from Google Play as well:
Good2Go creator Lee Ann Allman told me that while Apple didn’t provide many details about its decision to remove the app, “they did say it was not deemed to be crude.” So: objectionable.
