I do understand that the application does fall short in some critical aspects of security though

Actually it doesn't. I looked at the specs. Project seems to be open source, and uses solid cryptography to selectively reveal data you want to be revealed, and nothing more. This is absolute opposite to the UK garbage where you're asked to send your pics to every fraudster around.

No, the way some of the data is locally stored unprotected on the device itself is a pretty significant flaw.
