In PR #5, @jansy explained that the purpose of the app is not to prove consent, but rather to mutually
communicate rules and DOs and DON'Ts in a relationship. This is an attempt at updating the description
on the website to reflect that.

Also since there are no legal advantages of using the app for consent, the advice is updated to simply use verbal consent instead, which was already what would be used to revoke consent.

I'm afraid you're misunderstanding the point of LegalFling. The apps is not about proving you have consent. There is no way you can prove consent through an app or any other type of technology.

You don't create a contract to prove something. You create a a contract to clearly and unambiguously set the rules of a relationship. If that contact is broken, then you need to provide proof that it is, through other means.

So to be absolutely clear

LegalFling is not a tool to prove consent. You can't prove consent!

Also since there are no legal advantages of using the app for **consent**, the advice is updated to simply use verbal consent instead, which was already what would be used to revoke consent.
