I don’t. I just liked being clear when I was dating.

If I was at all unsure about the situation, I just asked her if she was sure she wanted to have sex.

I am simply confused as to why this is an issue.

Getting consent isn’t “an issue”, it’s a normal part of courtship or casual sex.

The app is just an embarrassing indication of how low interpersonal communication and relations are in society right now. I struggle to find a positive spin on this app

I understand from earlier conversations that one of the copulators can withdraw permission for intercourse at any time, even during the copulation, even one second before the final push and moan. This app does not cover that eventuality.

Oh, I see. This seems to be one of those “kids these days” complaints that is not actually about the topic.

I often find myself making these same criticisms in my head, especially when the teenagers in my household are too busy watching family Guy on their phone instead of doing their chores.

But this is how stuff like this gets done these days.

Well, I don’t have much else to say...

This app is trash.

Consent isn't a contract you sign.

This app is trash.

Consent isn't a contract you sign.

The common law understanding of a contract is that must have four components the most important of which is consent. The four ingredients of a contract:
1. Offer
2. Acceptance (consent)
3. Consideration (terms)
4. Knowledge / Capacity to contract (mental wellness and maturity, understanding of the terms.

Technically what you say is correct in the same sense as saying sliced white bread isn't a sandwich but only because it is but one ingredient of a sandwich rather than the whole thing.
