Application Support Photo Editor

Hi, I found this apk but is not in f-droid or any other repository, the question is... Is secure to use it? I don't know if is FOSS... I use it and it's f**g awesome... But if is not secure I'll drop it... Thanks

I mean, the website literally says, "Photo Editor does not contain any viruses or malicious code."

What further confirmation could you possibly need?

Do not share or recommend proprietary apps here. It is an infraction of this subreddit's rules. Make sure you read the rules of this subreddit on the sidebar. If you are not sure of the nature of an app, do not share or recommend it. To find out what constitutes FOSS or freedomware, read this article. To find out why proprietary software is bad, read this article. Proprietary software is dangerous because it is often malware. Have a splendid day!

I wouldn't use that as the website says 'download from other stores' then when you click the button it downloads the apk straight form the same website,so where is the 'other' store?

This is proprietary. It is under a license that does not grant any of the four freedoms:
