I'll use it, but it's not really about tories per se. Would be more about the people running the app, which is cummings's mate with heavy links to vote leave, which was known to wildly abuse private data.

I do think the app can't be the only strategy though, as S.korea have shown the best results for contact tracing, and only 20-25% used their equivalent app.
