I have sent several crotchet apps for checking. As yet no response. I thought that apps with https would be considered safe.

Hi,
 

Thanks for flagging this, and sorry for the wait on a response I know submitting samples and hearing nothing back is frustrating.

A couple of things:

On the HTTPS point: HTTPS only means the connection between the app and its server is encrypted in transit. It says nothing about whether the app itself is malicious, poorly coded, or misusing data, plenty of malware and scam apps use HTTPS today, so it's not a safety signal on its own. What actually matters is the app's behavior (permissions requested, what it sends and where, code signing, developer reputation, etc.), which is what our analysis actually checks for.

On the submission delay, could you confirm how you submitted these and roughly when? That'll help me check on the status or get someone to escalate it. If you have any reference/ticket numbers from the submission, please share those too.

In the meantime, if these are APK files or links, avoiding installing/using them until you get a verdict back is the safest bet.

Regards,
Dencel
