The app will allow boycotters to "dynamically and quickly identify products that fall within the BDS boycott guidelines," the International Business Times quoted Abbas Naqvi, a founder of PennBDS, as saying.

Recently, Waters criticized American actress Scarlett Johansson, who serves as a spokeswoman for the Israeli company SodaStream that has a factory in the West Bank.
The app is still in its beta stage, and a launch date has not been specified.
