  So what are they doing that illegal that other apps aren’t doing?

  You’re making an assumption that’s not correct.

  Multiple apps can have the same legal problem, but the government/lawsuit only goes after one app at a time, the low-hanging fruit first.

  As far as what’s being done illegally, to cause the lawsuit…

  The lawsuit alleges that Flo Health misused users’ personal information “for its own financial gain,” claiming breach of privacy, breach of confidence and “intrusion upon seclusion.”
