Apple doesn’t review it that thoroughly. They could easily send people’s credentials up to some server and Apple would likely not catch it.
What I mean is don’t just trust it because it’s in the App Store.
I personally use it because it has an active GitHub and is one of the more popular mobile clients. Also I don’t really care if my accounts get hacked in the first place lol so I’m also trying out Mlem beta and Wefwef. But even with that said I wouldn’t just try out any random new client that came along.
