Unfortunatly you are all missing the real issue here, If the App is real or not it doesnt matter, The issue is people are not enjoying Shabbos for whatever reason
There was a great blog post by a west cost Rabbi, About rebooting shabbos
It said for many people the following is great and inspiring. Go to Shul Friday night, Eat a dinner with the same foods each weeks singings the same Zmerios and the Parsha Dvar Torah
Go to Sleep, Go to Shul in the morning and come home and make Kiddush, have a meal with Chulent Sing More Zemiroth and Dvar torahs, go to sleep and either go to a friend, Park (Or some people are just stuck in their homes, they live in areas without eruvs or their friends live too far away) Daven Mincha, Have Shalosh Seudot and the daven Maariv and maybe have a Melava Malka.
Maybe you think this is great and awesome, but what if for example you were stuck in the house and couldnt leave, your only connection with your friends was your phone. What if you did not like the traditional Shabbos foods or Zemiroth. What if your shabbos entailed the kids fighting the whole time for the right to sit next to Mommy and throwing food around and screamed the whole time.
