very cool that this new app, niddah stain checker for Android, has come into existence... I was recently joking with someone about creating and using an app for women to check the purity/impurity of their own niddah questions..
I cannot see the rabbis liking this. Besides for taking this realm away from them, potentially, there are too many points that are just too arbitrarily dealt with. For example, one of the main issues of rabbis checking stains, is determining the color or shade of the stain. Rabbis go by the tradition they learned with as to determining what color a particular stain might be, and this app leaves it to an untrained eye for determination. Granted, asking what color something is is not quite rocket science, but much emphasis is placed on studying the colors and practicing and assisting rabbis in order to determine color properly, and this circumvents that entirely.
