Can I Trust This is a platform that evaluates the trustworthiness of Google Play Store apps. Enter an app's Google Play Store URL to receive a security and privacy analysis. If the app hasn't been reviewed yet, you can request a future analysis or access a recent review if one already exists.

The security analysis from Can I Trust This includes a Quick Verdict section that explains what the app is best for and what it isn't, specifically regarding security and privacy.

Below is an example from a query of the X app that was conducted on February 9. 2026:

“Quick Verdict

Best for: Casual users on non-rooted devices who prioritize convenience and accept extensive tracking

Not For: Privacy-conscious users, those handling sensitive communications, users with rooted devices, or anyone in regulated industries.”

The sample query also showed that Can I Trust This provides a Primary Concern section. Below is an example from the query that was conducted on X.

“All user data stored unencrypted enabling complete data theft via root access”

Critical data and network security vulnerabilities are presented in an easy-to-read format, along with third-party services that may receive user data.

Security Strengths are also provided, below is a sample from the same X query.

• “✓End-to-end encryption for DM text content (ECDH + AES-128-GCM)
• ✓Comprehensive certificate pinning with 36 SHA-256 hashes across 5 domain patterns
• ✓Secure WebView defaults (file access disabled, cross-origin disabled)
• ✓SecureRandom usage for cryptographic operations
• ✓No hardcoded API keys or secrets for primary services”

Finally, the assessment also includes Context Tags, Package Information, Version Reviewed, Date of Analysis, and Classes Analyzed.

This service provides an explanation of its Security and Privacy Scoreboard below the analysis. A full detailed report is available for developers upon request.

For OSINT, INFOSEC, and Cyber analysts and investigators this tool is of use for app assessments as it relates to privacy, security, and vulnerabilities.

Can I Trust This was created by Filip Luchianenco, a senior software engineer, in Austin Texas who is currently taking donations for his creation with a statement of “Help keep app security transparent. Every donation means more apps scanned, more findings published, more developers held accountable.”

During time of review there were no known controversies surrounding this resource.
