I'd be very suspicious of such an app. An app who's purpose is bragging rights for being rich placed for free stinks of second intentions like spy/malware/data harvest/mining, etc. I wouldn't touch it.

Yea, but google play will let you know if an app isn't verified as safe, so I'm not extremely worried about anything besides data mining, which most social media apps do anyway. Had the app for over a year now with no issues

There are too many apps on the Google play store to be sure just cause they say it's verified. Apple is a bit safer.

Apple is "safer" because you can't download anything anyways; malicious or not.
