After getting the crash issue resolved (it is now fixed), I tested this to see how it behaves by using PCAPdroid. I also attempted to decrypt the traffic, to see what it sends.
This is the traffic analysis:
It sends to a random list of hosts, all of which are listed here:
https://4chan.org
https://www.reddit.com
https://www.yahoo.com
https://www.cnn.com
https://pornhub.com
https://www.ebay.com
https://wikipedia.org
https://youtube.com
https://github.com
https://medium.com
https://thepiratebay.org
After digging through the code, here is the file with a list of hosts. It also seems to randomly generate user agents, which is good.
The developer blocked me from opening issues on all of his projects.
now that i see that list, the app became a lot less interesting :/
i used to use a firefox addOn that had the same function, but it created noise by "clicking" on random links starting from a user defined page
Mullvad VPN has DAITA which does something similar but more legit
