Limits

  • We read the app's code and its official download without running it. Code that exists may never run for you, and behaviour decided by servers is invisible.
  • Web addresses and libraries show what the app can talk to or do, not that it does so every time you use it.
  • Only open-source apps with a public GitHub repository are analysed. The release we inspected may differ from builds in app stores.
  • This text was written from fixed templates because no AI writer was available. It uses exactly the same evidence.
