      It is if you don’t care about your privacy, this app contains user tracking telemetry with no way to disable or opt-out. I downloaded it, scanned it with exodus and deleted it afterwards.

      I didn’t expect much considering he works for this company and this click baity post is a paid advertisement.

          Its no work, it only takes a second. Download Googles classyshark app. The fdroid version contains the embedded exodusprivacy database.

          Whenever you install a new app scan it with classyshark and you will instantly know if the app will be tracking you or not.

          This way you don’t have to believe strangers on the internet: trust but verify for yourself.

          Of course in this case you didn’t even really need to do that. The link is to a YouTube influencer who is pushing a “privacy app” by a company he works for…
