However, the changes have drawn criticism from local government officials since they were announced. The app was upgraded to help control the number of people at attractions during a long weekend, the ministry said. It displays crowd levels in green, yellow and red — normal, slightly more crowded than normal and crowded respectively, it added. Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Hung Mong-kai (洪孟楷) said that the center sent crowd warning text messages to visitors at 11 attractions during the four-day Tomb Sweeping Day weekend earlier this month. Chunghwa Telecom has been asked to revise the parameters before the holiday, it added.
