“死了么”APP被質(zhì)疑，開發(fā)者最新回應(yīng)

近日，一款在蘋果應(yīng)用商店上架的“死了么”APP爆火，相關(guān)話題在社交平臺(tái)持續(xù)發(fā)酵。

A paid mobile application called "Dead or Not" has sparked heated discussion on social media after rising to the top of Apple's paid app rankings.

目前，該款A(yù)PP在蘋果付費(fèi)軟件排行榜位列第一。

The app, priced at 8 yuan, is currently ranked first among paid applications on Apple's App Store in China.

據(jù)介紹，該應(yīng)用是為獨(dú)居人群打造的輕量化安全工具，用戶需要設(shè)置緊急聯(lián)系人并簽到，若連續(xù)多日沒在應(yīng)用內(nèi)簽到，系統(tǒng)將于次日自動(dòng)發(fā)送郵件告知緊急聯(lián)系人。

Designed for people living alone, the app requires users to check in regularly. If no check-in is recorded for several days, the system automatically notifies a designated emergency contact by email.

軟件界面顯示，APP中間有一個(gè)“簽到”按鈕，并提醒“2日未簽到，系統(tǒng)將以用戶的名義，在次日郵件通知用戶的緊急聯(lián)系人”。

The developer said the idea was inspired by online discussions about essential apps for daily life and aimed to address safety concerns among solo residents.

這款軟件的開發(fā)引發(fā)網(wǎng)友熱議。有網(wǎng)友認(rèn)為，該軟件對(duì)于獨(dú)居老人和年輕人來說非常方便。

The app has drawn mixed reactions from users. Some praised it as a practical tool, especially for elderly people living alone or young urban residents.

但也有網(wǎng)友認(rèn)為，打卡的流程繁瑣，定價(jià)偏高，并對(duì)隱私安全表示擔(dān)憂。

Others criticized the app for its complicated check-in process, relatively high price, and potential risks related to data privacy.

此外，有不少網(wǎng)友對(duì)產(chǎn)品名稱與功能提出了更多的優(yōu)化建議。

有人提出可以改成通過短信通知緊急聯(lián)系人、優(yōu)化簽到形式等，還有更多網(wǎng)友認(rèn)為軟件名字“死了么”不好聽，建議改成“活著么”。

Many users also offered suggestions for improvement, including switching notifications from email to text messages and simplifying the check-in process.

The app's name became a particular point of controversy, with numerous users saying it sounded unsettling and proposing alternatives such as "Alive or Not."

針對(duì)名稱爭議，蘋果官方客服于1月9日作出回應(yīng)，稱用戶若對(duì)APP名稱不滿，可提供應(yīng)用基礎(chǔ)信息，客服將同步至相關(guān)業(yè)務(wù)部門，協(xié)調(diào)聯(lián)系開發(fā)者溝通處理。

1月10日記者采訪到該APP的創(chuàng)始開發(fā)團(tuán)隊(duì)成員之一呂先生。據(jù)呂先生介紹，團(tuán)隊(duì)內(nèi)只有三人，都是“95后”，大家平時(shí)都有自己的工作，通過遠(yuǎn)程方式進(jìn)行協(xié)作。

他們目前還沒收到有關(guān)部門提出的改名要求，他表示，在中國，“死”這個(gè)字很少被提及，“但是死是每個(gè)人都必須去面對(duì)的事情，當(dāng)人知道了自己死亡的結(jié)點(diǎn)，或許才可以更好地面對(duì)當(dāng)下。”
