Maybe I'm too mature but it's much easier to just suck it up and be honest and open about a topic. This seems like it would enable a father to forgo talking about a difficult subject with his child because he would have a false sense of "well at least I tried" from using the app. Long story short I think the idea risks decaying a relationship more then strengthening it.
I like this comment and the two replies. It shows the two sides of the coin. When I came up with this idea initially in 2003, I was the kind of person who would use this service. Nowadays I'm more in line with your thinking. But I don't see myself as "more mature" nowadays, just different. Especially since I flip flop on so many things throughout life, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point I turn back into the kind of person who would use the service. Neither kind of person is "wrong" or immature IMO, just different.
You're not wrong, you're so right. The author of this app described it as the technique you use in highschool to ask a girl out. Direct communication, although difficult, will get results.
But some of the use cases seem a bit childish.

I'm probably wrong though! I'm wrong constantly.
Good luck!
