It's not just that he funded the app, it's also that the guy behind said app is a major Buttigieg backer whose wife is a high ranking campaign adviser. I don't actually think there's anything to the conspiracy theories, but it's not surprising that some of this flak is coming his way.
Honestly, the inside baseball aspect of the whole thing should be far more damaging to Pete's image. One of the biggest knocks against him is that he's effectively a political golem built by a handful of rich people you've never heard of (who may or may not spend a disproportionate amount of time in wine caves) and he'll serve those people's interests firsts.
Anyway, they say the results are coming at 4pm.
