I'm so tempted to try it out, but I just really don't like downloading a "random" APK without at least knowing if there's a way to verify there's nothing malicious in the app.

Chinese or otherwise, it's all the same. Took me forever to trust the newpipe download... I'm just too cautious I guess.

Good, that means you're smarter than all the people in this thread using it.

it’s available on Apple’s Store and Google Play at least in my region. So it’s subject to the same restrictions and oversight every other app available through those platforms is, at least.

Idk about apple but for android that doesn't mean much

I’m not sure of the proportion, but malware incidents are much rarer on the App Store compared to Google Play.

You can use it in a browser, but it looks like only the phone version has an option for english menus.

Thanks for verifying! I tried looking last night but it just kept trying to have me download the app. I'll have to look again
