Dear Robin, I am sad to hear this. The same thing is / will happen(ing) in Germany I suspect. But after the panic buys has gone, the supermarkets will leave only a handful of people in, as it is happening in Italy. The app is meant to inform others of those queues. But maybe it is just a silly idea. I am not sure about it yet.
