Only if you agree to tell the app where you live.

I wonder if Trump has one of these apps (crickets).

I have signed up with Trump and made several contributions and have yet to receive the emails begging for donations like Cruz sends. If Trump has such an app he isn’t using it.

If you read the article, you would have seen that all the candidates have an "official" app, and that there are hundreds of unofficial ones that nonetheless carry their name.

Trump's name (not surprisingly) appears on the most. But this article is pointing out that of the -official- apps, under the control of the candidate's personnel, Cruz's is the one that seems to be the egregious leaker.

I wonder, too, if is this some type of tactic where anything written about something Cruz is doing is immediately followed up with an incriminating question about Trump and what he is doing? Seriously, seems to be the standard M.O. around here!!

In answer to your wondering...I looked on my smart phone, and I found nothing...So it appears that answer is NO! TRUMP does NOT appear to have a creepy data vacuum application like Cruz!

I don’t know for sure if Trump has an app or not. There was one available so you could sign up for rallys. I downloaded that one so I could go to the local Trump rally. It asked for my name, zip, phone and email..stuff needed to get a ticket.

It turned out that I didn’t need the ticket because nobody asked for it when the doors opened. Therefore, I deleted the app. I do get notices through my phone’s msg. app or through my email from Trump, but I requested those.

The thing is, I don’t know if it was an actual Trump app because it also announced local concerts and other neat events in my city.

Most apps it seems do tend to request privileges that aren’t necessary, and you have no opt out. Why would a majong game want access to texts or camera? I do tend to avoid google playstore unless it’s something I absolutely must/need have, and there are very few of those.
