Apparently it has been around since April.

How it Works:

Quote:
Once you download the app, intended for pairings of two people, you’re prompted to pick a mood, such as romantic, seductive, thrilled or “sorry, not interested” while your partner picks among similar options, such as sweet, electrified, lucky and “sorry, not interested.” Then you’re both asked to confirm you’re 16 or older, that “Neither of us are: asleep or passed out, mentally incapacitated, physically helpless, or too intoxicated to CONSENT” and that you are voluntarily consenting to proceed. After choosing amongst birth control and protection options you’re prompted to use your phone’s voice recorder to either verbally consent or decline. Choosing “sorry, not interested” at the start or failing to affirm your consent closes the app.
Say no to this YES to SEX app: Avoiding “awkward” consent conversations shouldn’t be a goal - Salon.com

Should probably scan both phones for any virus first.

It's still not proof enough. Maybe she was forced to say Yes.

Yes, because as things stand, a woman can claim at any time that she never really agreed to sex, even well after it has occurred. Technology like this would make that tougher to do.

In 2014, when the sexual consent app Good2Go launched, before being pulled from the market soon after, very good questions were raised about the problematic nature of attempting to quantify consent ahead of time. If a person agreed to X act via app but later changed their mind, could their use of the app be used to disqualify their later objection?

...another nail in the coffin, virginity rates are already soaring and stuff like this won't help.

We're getting closer to the world depicted in Demolition Man, where people take a pill and touch hands and that's "sex." Not only a symptom of SJWs but a disconnected, overly techy world.
