This is IOS only owing to Android play store collecting a device identifier; the creator wanted complete anonymity

Quote from some other place people were discussing it. Unfortunately no source on it.

There are other stores besides the playstore..

It's not about the store, it's about the notification.

As mentioned in the Time article:

the app is not available on Android because it "requires a device ID in order to send push notifications, which requires a user account and a password."
