To those who didn't bother to click the link, it's a proprietary app that has EULA restrictions to stop security researchers from trying to exploit it (basically ensuring that any bugs won't be disclosed to the authors).

I pass.

PSA: Don't get this from the linked landing page, and don't trust the hash. It's an insecure page. Luckily looks like they do have a valid Let's Encrypt on https://eijah.com/.

I downloaded via HTTPS link.

v1.0 apk is 13.1 Mbytes.

Calculated/checked checksum via HashDroid / HashStamp, and it matched.

Allowed "unknown sources" installation, installed it, disallowed "unknown sources".

Its using 51.42Mbytes. Uses 2 Permissions: "Full Network Access", "Control Vibration". So it seems to be not intrusive, inside device.

But it fails to run on Android KitKat ! :(

If it could run, then we would know, where its connecting.
