To Whom it may concern. I did a security scan of the apk file with VirusTotal and it flagged it with possible malware.

No open source project.

OK. It seems risky installing an unknown APK with no source code.

How can I scan this for viruses etc

from ft8cn.

FYI. I scanned the latest release using VirusTotal, and it did not report any viruses. However this only scans for know virus engines, it would not detect things like capturing the shared clipboard and sending that data to the cloud etc

I've not installed it, as I don't have an android VM available at the moment, so I don't know what permissions it requests

Yes. Being of unknown origin is not ideal.

I will put it onto a small tablet which I do use for email or anything which requires login etc.

I would not put unknown apps onto any devices you also use for banking etc
(I don't use banking apps myself)

BTW.

I did notice there was another paid app in the Playstore for $9.99 for WSPR

I also wonder whether both the paid / closed source app and this app use GPL libraries.

It seems unlikely that they have written the WSPR DSP code from scratch themselves

Perhaps the WSPR DSP libraries they use are MIT or Apache license. But as neither are open source its impossible to know which libraries they have used

from ft8cn.

Yes, I do not use "hot" devices to test new apps too (I have a segregated account too for this purpose). BTW, this app is very good and I am using it to make my portable operations, with very good results. Congratulations to the author!

And yes, there are some paid wspr and ft8 apps on the store, but I don't have experimented them.
73!

The developer does have the plan to release source code once the app becomes more mature.

This app is still experimental, please report any bug or security concern you may find, to help with the development.

Btw, let me know if anyone is interested in helping with localizing the documentation.

@N0BOY

OK. Thanks.

I can't help localisation as I only speak / read / write English
