Security & authenticity

Security rating: Trusted

Signing certificate

Certificate issued to “zph-mph” Not the developer's name (“Event Cinemas”). Names in certificates can't be verified, so this alone proves nothing.
Other versions use a different certificate v5.13.201 and v5.09.303. Android normally won't update an installed app with a file signed by another certificate, and a new certificate can mean a different publisher. v5.13.201 · v5.09.303
