Ladies ... Get Your "Bedika App"

It appears that this Bedika App was created by the same AntI-Vaxxer folks.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry! Imagine all those 'stained' pictures floating in the iCloud.
I find it really hard to believe 'the rabbis' meant for it to be like this,but nothing much surprises these days. Most women aren't completely stupid or color-blind for goodness sake - they can learn from another woman, what is okay or not.

Shiur Gris is irrelevant on a bedika cloth - the tiniest dot is problematic. (Gris is only relevant for Kesamim.) Doesn't give me confidence in the level of learning of the rabbis behind this app.

Stupid comment at 6:46

There might be a problem with this app but not the one that 6:46 imagines. There are various stain types that women cannot be relied upon to identify, you confused feminist.

One real problem is if the women wait for the stain to degrade. Another problem is if there is a black spot the rov cannot tell if it's blood or a contaminant like a coal spec that happens often in proximity to NYC public schools who still use coal furnaces under "progressive" de Blahsio. One possible problem is the picture - even if highly pixelized - does not provide access to different types of background light. Most importantly, who are the rabbis poskening on these maros?

It's hard to understand how this app will be useful except as a very last resort. From my experience the color shades are often very often hard to determine unless seen in person. Even after many years with my wife, often what we thought would be kosher was not & vice versa. Also since there are often conflicting poskim, the Rov often had leeway to pasken kosher, when there were extenuating "spotting" history. And THAT requires one going to the same Rov who you have a personal relationship and is familiar with her personal history.

It's obviously a parody
