I'd like to use this app and looks fine.

Concerns are:

  1. Is this app still open source ?
  2. How to verify any backdoor / sending my data to a remote location.

I think the app is good and gonna purchase it, but I need to confirm the above.

Thanks,

If you're asking about f-droid, yes: https://github.com/f-droid

About it's telemetry, I don't know. But considering it is open source, you can probably just google some third party who has looked into this. I had a google and found this: https://emteria.com/learn/what-is-f-droid

If you're not asking about f droid, then you should probably mention the app you're talking about

That link just directs back to the post I commented on?

That links to where OP already said what app they are talking about.

Feel free to point it out. That pic is just a pricing sheet as far as I can tell
