    CITT SCORE

    TRUSTish

    Quick Verdict

    Best for: Occasional water removal with ads accepted

    Not For: You prefer apps without Facebook or ad-network tracking

    What It Means For You

    Device usage and behavior is shared with Facebook, Google advertising, and OneSignal for push notifications. Ad targeting runs in the background while the app is in use. Activity is logged through Firebase Analytics even during routine sessions.

    Method and Limitations

    Static analysis only. CITT reviewed the code of this build without running the app, so runtime behavior was not observed. The findings below describe the analyzed build and may not reflect server-side controls or later versions. CITT makes no determination about compliance with any law or platform policy; it reports what the artifacts contain and cites the published guidance so a reader can compare.
